Very important things not in any of the manuals that came with your gear:

* Subtractive EQ and how it can save midi instruments from sounding like cheesey B movies.

* Mix pyramid theory and how it can keep you from being physically assualted by an angry singer.

* Sound to Noise ratio and why learning about tape manufacturing can make your tracks mud or clear water.

* Room compression and why Celine Dion sounded like Ethel Merman in your garage studio.

* Reflective surfaces in the studio and why you can’t seem to make that horn player stop rattling.

* Ear exhaustion and why an unbalanced room causes your hearing to collapse and cause you embarassment later.

* Out of phase problems and why the wrong wire or the wrong microphone can be the iceberg to your Titanic score.

* Unclean residential power and why you only thought you were playing at 90 beats per minute.

* The sweet spot and why it is soooooo important ( no, it is not a sexual reference).
