Each of the three members of RUSH, drummer Neil Peart, bassist/vocalist Geddy Lee and guitarist Alex Lifeson is considered a Maestro of his respective instrument. Induction into a number of magazines' 'Halls of Fame' throughout the world for Best Guitarist, Bassist, Keyboardist, Drummer, and Band, attests to Rush's "musician's musician" status.
RUSH is renowned for their complex, sprawling, and epic song arrangements, featuring intricate time, tempo and key changes and deeply philosophical, mystical, political and scientific lyrics and messages.
The band's virtual hero status in Canada is further born out by a place on Canada's Walk of Fame and for being the first rock group recipient of the prestigious Order of Canada medal...
Singer/Bassist Geddy Lee's in-your-face approach to the instrument has probably impacted more bassists on a grand scale then any other bassist, in the last 20 years.

Thanks, I have been a fan of Geddy Lee since Fly By Night came out.

Didn't need to read any further.
I have my Mackie 32/8 console and I am a big believer in using Emagic Logic Audio. I run the full 24-bit system - the whole deal. I'm running it on a Macintosh 9600, the workhorse. Plus, I have a multitude of hard drives. I am in the process of gathering together old compressors: LA4s, 1176s, those kind of things. I have been using LA4s in the studio, that kind of stuff - high quality compression equipment. I also used four Empirical Labs Distressors on mixing the album. They are very useful. After the experience of making this record, I am in the process now of trying to gather a few bits of gear, Neve and other old compressors.
Huh? I mean, that sounds sort of like English, but yet, it isn't.
LA4s are legendary. Never used a Mackie, but I sure loved going to the one club we played at that had a 24 channel board. The 32/8 means 32 channels, 8 buses.
I'm more of the "It's got a good beat and you can dance to it" crowd. I have no musical or technical knowledge. I just know what I think sounds good, and Rush are at the top of the heap.
