We use the term "golden ears" every now and then in the pages of Mix, usually to describe an engineer whose taste and talents are beyond reproach and we're not entirely sure why; they just are. In my early years at Mix, back in the 1990s, I remember it being attached primarily to mastering engineers, the Bob Ludwigs, Bernie Grundmans and Doug Saxes of our industry. Or to the rare talents of someone like a George Massenburg, who can design a parametric EQ and win Grammys for mixing. It's a term of respect, and at the same time it implies mystery. What makes someone's ears golden? And how do you get into the club? |
