Cocaine use, mixing and other drugs.

We all know drugs are, or at least were extremely prevalent in the music industry.

I heard that in the 80s cocaine use was so rampant that you can hear it in a lot of mixes as apparently it makes you want more trebly sounds. I’ve never done coke - how true is this - any veterans weigh in?

As for other drugs - a lot of people are just constantly stoned and seem to be able to function just fine (I can’t, in my experience haha)

What about psychedelics - my experiences with LSD got me into certain genres and sounds and inspiration that has stayed with me, but there’s no way I’m mixing on that stuff. I wouldn’t know how to even operate the equipment.

I’d wonder if any interesting productions and mixes have been the result of someone totally off their head and that ended up being the final product… or is it actually the artists that do all that stuff and the producer and engineers are the sober ones that capture it?
