Re: Bruce Swedien Mixing Billie Jean
So they mixed Billie Jean around 90 times?
They used mix 2? xD

Re: Bruce Swedien Mixing Billie Jean
He's talking about the balance and processing of each audio track within a song, not "remixes" in the fashion you're probably thinking of.Originally Posted by MJTheKing

Some people label themselves a perfectionist Michael was a perfectionist

Yep, like cmstrike already pointed out, these aren't "remixes" but rather alternative takes of Billie Jean.
Would like to hear some of them
Re: Bruce Swedien Mixing Billie Jean
They'll have overproduced it through perfectionism. It'l have sounded perfect logically, but it won't have felt right, will have a missing soul or magic, and they won't have known why. Either that or they'll have gone backwards with it and made the balance worse by overworking and losing the minds keen edge of musical instinct and made the whole thing a bit of a mess. I sound like i'm having a go at them :L they're an incredible team of studio genius' with MJ's composition at the center of it all, what more could you want, Mix 2 must sound better than mix 90 though, or that's what we'd be hearing to this day!
