Does anyone have suggestions on how to just accept a mix, even if it's flawed?
I can't stop tinkering with mixes. If I lower x, y suddenly sounds off, and I'm just chasing my tail. It's literally taking days from doing other things like practicing/recording new songs. I hate it. Hate mixing. If I were rich I'd hire a mix engineer instead of a butler!
I've tried things like stepping away and coming back to it, and that works to a degree, but then if I spend just a bit of time on it I'm back down the rabbit hole of "this is 1db loud, this is just a hair too far left, etc" and it's maddening.
I can't afford to send mixes to pros and really just want to know if this is common, if others deal with this and relate, and if so how they handle it?
