mixing records only has one rule: do not mix while inebriated. your ears are not trustworthy when baked. i repeat: your ears are not trustworthy when baked.

i am arrogantly flaunting this rule.

i can provide a reasoned argument.

i'm not just empty rebellion. such accusations are premature, hear me out!

see, while the rule is a reasonable rule of thumb, there are circumstances where music is meant to be consumed baked. under such circumstances, mixing should be done baked to capture the blur properly.

jess 1, rules 0.

of course, i made that rule up, and i am the only person under it's authority, so my assertion of sovereignty is somewhat trivial.

nonetheless, i am flaunting my own convention and will not be persuaded from it.
