WHY WE BLEEP 014: JAMES YOUNG - DARKSTAR
Why We Bleep
Do You Have Bad Ears and Bad Rooms?
"I've bad ears and bad rooms. But, you know, it's just something i've done," he says of his mixing process. Ad especially is hard to mix because there are so many different types of music that can become baseline. "You went up with horrible peaks and stuff like that", the singer adds.
