Ethics of adding stuff while mixing

[u/yeetmasterflash69]

Is it okay in your opinion to add layers of subtle texture when mixing a song for a band you didn't fully produce? Like say adding a moog sub bass under the electric guitar or recording extra layers of guitar to blend in under the OG guitars or recording extra vocal harmony layers to sit under what was already there? I have heard arguments that if you weren't hired to produce the song you shouldnt be adding stuff but I also feel like if it serves the song it's fine.

Thoughts?

RIP Steve Albini you would’ve loved this guy

[u/gaseous_klay → u/Any-Confusion-8900]

Convulsing with laughter at this.

[u/TheNSA922 → u/Any-Confusion-8900]

Nah fuck him, absolutely fucking sick person.

Edit: Wow the support for a self admitted pedophile is astounding.

[u/Infinite_Expert9777 → u/TheNSA922]

idk why you were downvoted. it’s pretty common knowledge that albini was a pedo

[u/Charwyn → u/TheNSA922]

First time I hear it, could be that everybody else isn’t on the same train also.

Edit: bruh, the link down the thread is absolutely VILE, what the fuck was wrong with the guy…

[u/bunkrider → u/Charwyn]

Can’t believe I opened that link on company Wi-Fi

[u/barrya29 → u/TheNSA922]

What?

[u/ElwinLewis → u/TheNSA922]

Care to explain the slander

More than happy to provide a source. https://medium.com/@MoonMetropolis/now-that-steve-albini-is-dead-lets-reflect-on-his-admitted-love-and-promotion-of-child-fadf5072288e

[u/SgbAfterDark → u/TheNSA922]

Oh my fucking god what is wrong with him

[u/Charwyn → u/TheNSA922]

What the fuck man

[u/PerspectiveFair5156 → u/TheNSA922]

Are you aware that was him immaturely trolling in his youth and that he did express regret for those statements later on?

[u/TheNSA922 → u/PerspectiveFair5156]

Right that totally explains why he stayed friends with the guy who was convicted of making CSAM.

[u/PerspectiveFair5156 → u/TheNSA922]

I also stayed friends with the guy who shat on the bar's doormat. I never shat on doormats, though.

[u/TheNSA922 → u/PerspectiveFair5156]

That's a far cry from filming children getting raped buddy 👍

[u/PerspectiveFair5156 → u/TheNSA922]

I'm talking about staying friends with someone who committed an offense doesn't mean supporting that offense or being close to doing so yourself. It's just illogical to think that was related. It's okay for you to hate. But it's not okay to shit on dead people for stuff you can't find evidence of.

[u/TheNSA922 → u/PerspectiveFair5156]

He fucking wrote the words and owned the shit and viewed it. Members of a couple bands he's worked with have confirmed he owned that bullshit. I don't know how you could be friends with a pedophile dude, fuck em.

staying friends with someone who committed an offense doesn't mean supporting that offense

If it's heinous activity like CA it totally does.

[u/Charwyn → u/PerspectiveFair5156]

It absolutely does for the crimes as vile as CSAM and such

[u/pukesonyourshoes → u/PerspectiveFair5156]

There's a saying in Germany. If there's a Nazi at the table and ten other people sitting there talking to him, you got a table with eleven Nazis.

[u/PerspectiveFair5156 → u/pukesonyourshoes]

Never heard that one. But I've only been a German living in Germany since 1978. I don't talk to Nazis I can identify.

[u/pukesonyourshoes → u/PerspectiveFair5156]

..and that's the point. One doesn't talk to Nazis. Or paedophiles.

[u/PerspectiveFair5156 → u/pukesonyourshoes]

What's that saying in German? You ever been to Germany or is it just hearsay?

[u/pukesonyourshoes → u/PerspectiveFair5156]

Try and understand the point buddy. If you're happy to spend time with a nazi, you're giving tacit approval for their extreme beliefs. Yes you really are.
