Any parting thoughts?

Yeah, don’t settle for crappy sounds. I was mixing a project recently that had an incredibly lifeless snare drum. It just didn’t have any snap or crispness. It wasn’t tracked the way that I would have tracked it. So I took the track and re-amped it out to a snare drum. I pulled one of my JBL surround sound speakers and laid it on top of the snare, then ran the snare out there and miked the bottom head. Voila! We had a usable snare sound. So find a way to get every track sounding the way you know it should sound and your phone will be ringing.
 
yeah jay did that on the neuraxis record he mixed last year, most definitely an old trick. oldie but goodie though. The guys refused to use a snare sample from what i remember, i wasnt there for that mix, but i remember talkin about it. cool record indeed.
