Language is not the problem. I understand most of what you said. And whatever I don't understand, I am sure you can explain it to me if I asked.
It seems to me you put up quite a resistant to learning new things. I am surprised. But I understand your reasons behind your position. I don't think they are good reasons, and your examples are not convincing. For example, in your case of the producer asking the mixer to boost/cut middle C and it's faster if, a big if, the mixer knows what frequency a C is. Granted that is the case; there are 88 keys in the piano. Each key is distinctively different in pitch. That means the producer and the mixer both have to know all of them to be effective. What if it's not a C but an F#? After all, all songs are different, and there are other notes beside C in a song, right? In an economical view I just think it's not an ideal way to spend time to learn. The benefit is negligible. But that's just the way I think. You go on your way and do you. I have no problem with it.
One more thing to drive it home for you, and don't take it as a boast. It's just an example we can use. The C note is not +/-256Hz, plus/minus signs in the front are imprecise. There is no such thing because the just-notice-difference (JND) in normal human being is only 2 Hz. It's either a C or not. I can get it to 3 significant places. My calculation shows 261.625Hz (440Hz standard tuning). There is a formula to calculate pitch with a high degree of accuracy on the net. I know the mathematical trick therefore I get the pitch closer in Hertz than you. It took me 2 seconds to learn and probably the same time to help you with it, but you can try to "hunt" the math trick on your own. That's what I meant by "holding an advantage." In this case the advantage is precision. I hope you didn't think I said that to mean I am a better mixer. I don't need to say anything; our mixes can speak for themselves.
Ozzy Osbourne is a great songwriter, a Rock&Roll hall of famer I think. He, till this day, doesn't know how to read music. Listen to Blizzard of Oz and tell me it's not a great album, even on a technical point of view.
I see no point in continue this conversation since it's no longer fruitful for me. We both explained our reasons quite clearly already. And it's harder to get the point across crystal clear when the language barrier is in the way. It's not fair for you since you have to use a foreign language to express your thoughts. However, if you still want to continue, I guess I can still spare some time for it.
