What a wonderful overview of a massive effort. Great to have him open up the session and see what made it work. I'd love to see him do an automation pass on a section and then the aux bus to see how he thinks. Learned a lot on this one. Thanks to Puremix and Alan for putting this series together.

So glad we got some film/orchestral mixing stuff. Alan is a legend. Hope we get more of these. I'd love to get one from Shawn Murphy.

19:32....."this plugin was made in the 1920's...". Somehow I doubt that.;-) Great content nonetheless.

By far the most inspiring session yet in terms of content and message. Strangely, as overwhelming and out of reach, I feel Mr. Meyerson somehow made this scale of work feel accessible. Mostly I am touched by his comments on the meaningfulness of relationships, and how they are the bottom line regardless.

Thank you for bringing out some classical recording and mixing. I learned a lot with this session. On the other hand, I am closed age with Alan Meyerson, and all what he said, mainly when he was warping out touched me a lot, as I feel I am exactly in the same page, relationship is all what we keep out from our job. Except that for me I am not him, and I don't have the chance to work on the same projects... Hahaha! Thank you very much
