I admit it, and no disrespect intended, I read the soundbyte article and thought it was comprehensive and excellent. Then I thought, "why the heck would I want a plug in
that does that?".
 
I like the fact that my mixes are expressions of my mixing, my "sensibility", or my interests.
 
The idea of embracing auto mollify-cation seems counter to my interest in crafting expressions that illustrate how I "hear" the balance of an arrangement.
 

I know what you mean.
 
I hate when I put EQ and compressors and reverb and etc. that mollify-cate...
 
oh, never mind.

I hear ya, Mike. I applaud and share your minimalist instincts. You're absolutely right that none of these fancy-shmanzy tools are necessary to make a good mix.
 
But look at it this way...technically, you don't need a master bus limiter, either. But you use one, because it makes everything easier. It's like that.

Well, maybe ARC 2 is needed.

And who is this Mollify?
 
Does she do session work?
 

I think I met her once, wasn't she a member of the Band-aids?

Now you're just trying to bait me, Ed.
