Ever Mix Drunk?
I've done this a couple times and ended up with some pretty messed up stuff.
Likewise, I've listened to stuff mixed fairly well drunk, and it sounded like ass. I guess alcohol really does mess with the senses. Including hearing.

I've listened back to plenty of stuff while high, but have never made the mistake of actually trying to mix down in that condition. I would probably make things too bass-heavy.

Alcohol, caffine, and other "mind-altering" drugs, even tobacco, seriously alter your hearing (negatively). Mixing drunk is a bad idea, as is mixing while high, and even mixing on Red Bull (or even soda).

When I'm drunk music sounds to me like it's running faster and higher pitched. I guess alcohol really slows you down.

I mix high as much as possible....!!
i've always felt that when i has high my hearing is more acute cuz thats what weed does, heightens your awareness, which translates to paranoia for some people...

I've always got beerz going in the studio. Weed too. But then I smoke/drink everyday. I sure can't sing worth a shit when I've been saucing it though. If I'm going to drink, I try to lay down the vocals at the beggining of the session before I get too intoxicated.
I'm such a cliche!

It's funny listening to Vox the next day if you were drunk. Thats if you can get all of the words out in the first place. You have to be real good to pull that one off, if it's even possible Malcolm

Fuck I didn't know you could mix sober....
No seriously, I always mix fairly sober. I will sometimes take a teensy puff in the middle of a serious mix when I get everything sounding right. I make a file of the pre and post mixes and compare at weeks end. I think it gets you more into the detail but THC can blur the big picture sometimes. I usually need to adjust something glaring in a lit-mix but I almost always go for the stoned mix over the standard. I never touch a mixer drunk...well too drunk...well...

I wouldn't advocate mixing while under the influence of forgeign substances . . .
. . . but I do think it's essential to at least check them while in various states, to see how they translate.

I love to drink, and I love to record and mix... I get pretty good ideas, sometimes, after the second or third glass of wine, or my third scotch (generally single malt) but mixing drunk usually impairs my ability to do things smoothly and once I´m hammered I tend to be more radical about my decisions so I usually don´t drink more than 4 or 5 in the studio... then I go to the living room and continue the bottle
Weed helps hear some things that I don´t while sober... but I tend to be too lazy to work when I´m high so I just listen and listen and take mental notes that (if I don´t forget) I later translate when I´m done with the munchies...Carlos

Kinda fun to drink a few brewskis while recording and mixing. Just a hobby for most of us anyway... Anyone else feel like they're being productive and doing something important while drinking and recording? Might not sound good the next day, but it's fun to sit there and play with your gadgets while toasty...

On the plus-side, I do notice a nicer sense of space to some of my mixes. Things tend to be particularly well panned, verbs and delays tend to take on a lot of size. I think it might be easier for some people to "see" the mix 3-dimensionally when in that state.
