RE: Just how sensitve is our hearing?

This reminds me when I was in my early teens I went with my Brother and his band to Studio West here in San Diego when it was located just off Clairemont Mesa Blvd.

I remember the Control room Engineer asking the Drummer to loosen his snare drum and do something with his bass drum. The reason I remember for him saying this and I could be wrong since it was so long ago, was his snare drum was to bright/tight (He was a funk drummer and had his snare really tight for that Pop sound most Funk drummers have) The reason was for later final mixing and it would be more easy to do. I didn't understand why at that time but years later understood the reasoning. But the Drummer and brother wear pissed cause it took away from the sound of the tune they were laying the track down. I was sitting in the control room when they were recording the tunes. I remember that 24 track Ampex tape on the reel to reel and that huge mixing board with all the DBX units. :)
