If I had to choose between them, My feelings for Jac are all warm and fuzzy. All of us had definite idea's about the way things should sound. Bruce was rather "old school" a purist, who wanted the sound to be clean, and undistorted. No experimenting. If we wanted distortion, or effects, he'd say "let's do it during mixdown!" I never trusted anyone's ability to create [my] sound after the fact. I needed to hear it live in the studio, so I could tweak it. Which left Botnick, and I continually at loggerheads. Arthur had some rather choice observations about the subject in his book, but the lawyers would have none of it. Too bad, it would have been quite informative! JE.
