Why do you need the tempo mapped out if you're just mixing?

calculating delys and other time based effects for one

there you have it.

also, mixers are often asked to make arrangement edits... far simpler with the tempo mapped properly so that PT's grid is relevant.

[RANT]... that if i get even ONE MORE Pro Tools file sent to me to mix, that i KNOW was recorded in Pro Tools from the beginning, that just has the click on an audio track, flown in from a drum machine... and Pro Tools still sitting on the default 120... my brain is going to implode, full stop. I mean, how hard is it???? just set the damned tempo, enable the Click plug-in and record... and then to not even note the tempo in the comments box? arrrgggghhh!!!

James. I fully apologize. When we did that Celine Dion cover you mixed for us, we were under a huge deadline and I forgot how much you hate it when the click is an audio track. My bad!

James,

What effects do you typically use in a mix? I assume you have some sort of template with delays set to a specific note value then.

I really like your mixes, so if you don't mind I'd like to pick your brain a bit!

Thanks.
