YMMV, subtract the ego and correct for the emphasis on "commercial"
music and I think it's a great overview for people who don't know what
mastering is and why you should think about it.

I found it like reading interviews with Walter Sear: take what you can, if
you don't like the personality, at least those guys have impeccable
records to back up what they're saying. Record in both senses.

They're engineers and curmudgeons. I happen to like both -- on paper
anyway. (But then I like Paul Theroux too.)
