there’s too much delay on this mixdown

I’ve outsourced my mixdown, and now I’m an impatient client. Evan won’t get to my songs until “mid-November.” I happen to know he’s already double-booked, though, and I’m guessing the guy that shows up with disks in hand gets priority over the guy who lives 430 miles away.

My mixes have been waiting 11 months already, so I can’t honestly say I’m up against a deadline. I just want to hear the songs. I mean, really want.

The folks at Auralex have famously said about room sound: “there’s no knob for it.” Unfortunately, there’s no knob for “please work on my mixes now” either.

To be fair, most mix engineers probably wish they had a knob for “client mouth volume.” I’ll turn mine down now.
