do you think the mix recall, will be able to switch quickly in the future?  When I saw the demo of this feature, that was the first thing that I thought...it was taking a bit to process and eliminated the quick A/B comparison.  I realize there's a lot that has to potentially change and make things wimper in the process..  But could it be coded like the workarounds you guys are talking about?  Seems like it could be analogous to automation...or muting, etc...  all instantaneous.

JKLEBAN Yes, Seattle has great music network if you know some people or know how to look for it. I don't actually live in Seattle tho, I'm about 2 1/2 hrs away in Yakima county where there is almost No music industry at all in that general area. I'm currently in the Army and stationed in Georgia so right now I am working out of Georgia in a Barracks room ha. My artist email me their songs tracked out for mixing. But I will be back in Washington next October time frame when my active duty contract is up and most likely will be up in Seattle area.
 
To your point, i definitely understand you on that. You can't really reach mixing very well. You can learn it all and if you just don't have the ears for it it'll never be great. Back in the day they had to be creative because they don't have the tools we have these days at our disposal. By learning about the old ways though it really helps understand how all these newer methods essentially work. Which is what schools teach more of. HOW effects actually work and what not and fundamentals. You can train ears to an extent but essentially its all in experience/creativity and your ability to manipulate your tools. I am a younger engineer, no where near retiring ha. Most music i work with is hip-hop/r&b style. Although i do get bands every now and again. Perhaps in future, we can collaborate if we happen to be around same area
