i don't think it's any secret as to how Bruce Swedien feels about using compression:

"Compression is for kids."

"Compression is a crutch. "

And finally, if that doesn't give you an idea about how he feels:

"I hate compression."

Swedien is an amazing cat - his resume is ridiculous; from Count Basie and Duke Ellington to McCartney and MJ... with many others in between.

Mixing "Billie Jean" with Bruce Swedien at Full Sail University

Your first or second mix is probably the best...

Why is it so hard to say "I'm done" with a mix?

Is a mix ever really finished?

An interesting article from Pro Sound Web. It's apparently an excerpt from Bruce's book Make Mine Music.

Recording Upright Bass

After 35 years playing electric bass I got my first (lefty) upright bass a year ago. Still a long way from mastering the beast, but I've done a few recordings recently. Playing jazz and folk. All piz. (I worked on arco for a few months, started receiving death threats from the family.) Anyway, I'd appreciate any recording tips.
