Yacht Rocking

There comes a time in a businessman's life when all he wants to do is buy some primo cocaine and some Laurent Perrier and retreat to the yacht and kick back to some rock music, preferably the kind recorded in a studio that had plenty of primo cocaine and Laurent Perrier lying around.

The kind of records that kept a lot of session guys in work for around 10 years from the late 70s. A lot of them went on to purchase yachts of their own.

Imagine the studio environment. Giant Neve desks, all 60 channels heaving with complicated guitar lines. 14 different kinds of reverb unit. Those Parker Fly guitars. Cocaine. Laurent Perrier. Books on musical theory. Cocaine.

Anyway, if you're planning on sailing this weekend this mix from the guys over at the Potionlords blog should see you in good stead. It'll take you away. To where you're going. Doo di doo.

love to see this discussion! It’s great to see you all working through the issues and also, it’s great to see recommendations for testing. In the end, it’s what your actual users do and prefer that should be your biggest driver in making these decisions.
