Started with InPhase too, but honestly switched to manual alignment last year after a mixing disaster (never trust plugins during an all-nighter). Now I enjoy the "hands-on" approach - feels more like actual engineering than button-pushing. Plus, my ears have gotten weirdly better at catching phase issues. Anyone else find manual tweaking weirdly satisfying or am I just a control freak? 😅

Lol, this reminds me of that documentary where they showed how the Beatles actually wrote "I Am the Walrus." Pretty accurate! My uncle worked at Abbey Road back then and swears that "goo goo g'joob" was originally "glue shoe kumquat" until the producers stepped in. Rock history would be very different if they'd kept the original toe-jam football references intact. Lennon's other working title was "Eye of Salamander" before McCartney convinced him newts were funnier. 😂

Congratulations to MTV on an incredible 40 years of shaping music, culture, and entertainment.
