Have you ever been to a concert, and the mix was SOOOO bad that all you
could think the entire night was "what the hell is wrong with that guy?"

Have you ever heard a mix that was so screwed up it was difficult to
determine if the band was playing a heavy metal song, or a polka?

Have you ever been subjected to a mix that was so terrible, and you
could hear the FOH speakers themselves cry in shame that they were
forced to emit such noise?

I would say that for any given set of source tracks or mics someone has
decided to mix, there are far more "wrong" solutions than "good" solutions
