Ok I know Harmony was produced by Bob Doidge, Rick Haynes and Gordon Lightfoot, and engineered by Doidge, but who mixed the album? John Guess did the previous release, APPT. Are any credits available that show who did this part of the production?

Look on the back of the album. It should tell you.

Unfortunately I don't have the album. Can someone who has it possibly check it for me?

Where does it say? Is it a person?

Audio (or sound) mixing is used to balance the relative volume and frequency of a number of sound sources, like the different musical instruments in a band, along with the vocals (or in symphonic setups, the sections of an orchestra). It's done with the use of an audio mixing console (aka mixing desk or board). Sometimes the recording engineer doubles up to do it, but just as often the mixer is an assistant to the engineer.

For example on APPT, Bob Doidge was the recording engineer, and John Guess was the audio mixing technician. Gordon himself has sometimes assisted on the production (record) mixing in the past (example: East Of Midnight). That's why I'm curious who might be listed on Harmony.

that is all there is.

Thanks for that brink. It appears it -may- have been Doidge then, as nothing is specific in that regard (I would think if King did it, she would be listed as mixer). Interesting that Guess was credited as such on the last production from GAS, but nothing is listed specifically this time around.

Amy was probably sitting at the sound board, during the recording sessions. Bob most likely got in on it, too. And it could be the Bill Blakeney and Paul even stuck their fingers in the mix from time to time. In fact, if I remember correctly, Paul probably did the majority of the mixing. Sorry. I don't recall his last name. Maybe Val knows it.

Thanks for the input Cathy. Lots of possible fingers in the mix I see. But then, it makes you wonder why no one received that specific credit on the album, as is generally given on previous GL productions. Or could it be with so many fingers involved, they decided not to give it to anyone lol. Perhaps Val will know a little more.
