Wasnt there always a little souncraft guide to mixing/digital mixing?

*tries to remember days of buying the worlds stock of notepads and
F1s!!

I think most of the guides ended up in schools as a basic reference.
Perhaps a CD rom version with handly little animations would be
useful, one of live and one for studio sound. I find that far too
often musicians with a little home studio experience come in thinking
that what they do in their home-studios aka bedrooms is how to mix a
bigish show to 300+ people. Spending ages EQing a dynamic vocal mic so
it "sounds nice" then hitting a wall of feedback as theyve slapped
6-10db on the top end!
