Recording Blues

I recently did some recording and learned a valuable lesson... If you want something done right you better do it yourself! After 4 hours of tracking drums, bass, piano, and a string quartet, I took the time to investigate the audio engineer's gear only to find out he mixed everything down (live) to a stereo mix. No multi-tracking... WHAT!? Exsqueeze me? Post production much? Looks like we'll chalk this one up as a do-over.
