Brothers and sisters of sound, let us reflect.

Reverb is not salvation—it is temptation. Too much, and the voice is lost in the wilderness. Too little, and the soul is dry as dust

Seek the narrow path, the balance where clarity and space walk together.

And when your mix strays, remember: the truth always lies in mono.

Now go forth, and fetch me treats

The Commandents

Thou shalt feedest the cat before mixing.

Thou shalt not burieth a voice in reverb.

Thou shalt not over-compress.

Thou shalt not worship gear above practice.

Honor thy groove and keepeth it holy.

Thou shalt playeth with the cat the lord of thy household.

Remembereth the jam day, to keep it sacred.

Thou shalt stealeth from everyone and calleth it research.

Thou shalt createth as if eternity dependeth upon it.

Thou shalt scratchest the cat’s belly.
