In a few days I'm mixing for a show where originally I was supposed to be the only engineer, but now someone else (who won't be named) is now trying to take over and seems to think that we should switch off mixing every few songs. He is pretty much clueless but thinks he knows every thing. I have worked with him before and have found him very frustrating to work with. Ex: I get everything nicely EQed and then he shows up and just starts changing things to what he thinks they should be and all of a sudden it sounds like were in a a gym with Bose mains and "subs". If we switch off every few songs I'll find all my time trying to fix ridiculous EQs. I would be against switching engineers in the middle of a show even if the other guy was competent.
How do I tell him that this is a bad idea and regain control over what was supposed to be my gig without being too mean since that isn't going to help anyone? I need replies soon so I can take care of this soon.
