Even the metronome sounds good

Echoes, Silence, Patience and Grace to me is the best mixed album sound from The Foo Fighters collective work. Thanks for sharing some details about “The Pretender” mix including mixing hot on an 8078 and using a pair of Quad 8 channels across the mix buss.

So here’s my unusual question…what’s the story behind the metronome in “Stranger Things Have Happened “? Was it a great rough track that captured the metronome and was decided to keep? Or was it a mixing choice to bring in a specific metronome track? It fits and is smooth and curious how it got to be there. I’m guessing the sound is shaped by the console, mix buss and tape more than any specific processing.

Thanks for inspiring us all with your work and openly sharing info on here.
