Hi Mike...thanks for dropping by....i could have used the word inspiring instead of intimidating too.....i loved listening to the ref mix as i was setting up my session
Once i pushed the faders around a bit I'm thinking " this is sounding OK" so you are spot on about no need for a huge amount of mixing....and for the first time i really enjoyed working with the spill.....it seemed warm and supportive rather than overly discordant....which i find when mixing some telefunken sessions
Nice tip re bass mic/DI balance effecting sax wetness....it was something that was bothering me too slightly ... i'll dive back in and give it a shot.
cheers
Simon
