YOU rock!

Followed for the chicken, stayed for the music

Quick! Everyone yell at Hank for his own emotional wellbeing.

"No! Not fine! Strongly disagree!"

Surely this does not trigger any witty response nor justification of the behavior because getting yelled at by strangers on the internet is fine

Do you ever make it up to north LA? I have a somewhat big job on a small piano for my studio.

Invariably the reference track has less bass than I've been mixing with. Its almost a ritual at this point, the last step is to walk over to the bass amp (currently acting as a subwoofer) and turn it up so I can turn down the bass in the track and make it reasonable.

I use reference audio (ideally something VERY successful which sounds similar) and make a note of how the EQ visualizer looks (usually the line is slightly lower in treble than bass) and then try to match that. I've never actually seen a flat reference, they always have higher bass than treble.

I have a particularly involved job with an upright piano in North Hollywood for you. I forget what they are called but a few of the little springy things got popped out of place during a move. I think the entire action assembly needs to come out.

That's a really logical pedal board. I would probably set it up in the exact same order except I tend to like compressors after distortion, although you probably have it there to help the pog? Great layout, logical choices. I need more JHS pedals.
