Cutting out the pockets was something I learned from producer Ted Templeman who produced the Doobie Brothers. He mentioned it in an interview so I went back and studied his mixes. If you listen on What Were Once Vices Are Now Habits through Stampede you can really hear how he did it - no instrument occupied any unnecessary frequency overlap with any other - "A place for everything and everything its place."
