Skippy I dig where you are coming from, I am an in-betweener,
I was still on the bus, but had played so loud, I couldn't hear
what they were talkin about! Modern rock mix must be as saturated as possible to please the client, with analog gear it was much easier, digital makes less pleasing results. Apple wants to know where the "make it all better button" is, unfortunately Apple: it is in the engineering. You have enough exp. to know what sounds wrong, so keep at it, trial and error are the best teachers, and they don't whack the back of your hand with a ruler.
