but then they want everything to sound cohesive together - "glued" or whatever - so that the sounds all sound like they belong together - not a clean synth sound pasted over a dirty vinyl sample punctuated with bland stock drum hits - which if mixed poorly you can tell are not from the same source and may not sound good together if not "glued"...
although it sounds contradictory at first it is possible to aim for both at the same time...
just my 2 cents...
yeah i think like that too
but still, it strikes me as weird.. i think cohesiveness is more important than 'clearliness' though, i couldnt care less if i couldnt distinguish the high hat from the shaker or something like that
