Just wanted to pass along a little trick that
helped on a recent mix.
I was having troulbe getting the mix
how I wanted so I took a break from it.
I went to a forum and did a little reading
and I read a post from another mixer who was talking
about having a client who was blind, and he said
that it is even more important than usual in the
case of a blind client that the mix be
to the highest levels of your capability.
When I went back to my mix that was giving
me trouble, I closed my eyes and just listened,
without watching the dancing levels meters,
and without thinking about what the mix needed.
I basically pretended I was blind.
I moved the sliders/faders with my eyes
closed.
Doing this did help me to get the mix I wanted
and I think I will apply this technique in
the future.
Maybe this'll help someone else. Anyone else
ever tried this?
