This has me wondering, are there personality types that just aren't compatible with mixing and being able to stay with it until they are truly satisfied? I sit here listening and I realize that I can point out numerous things I just have fixed and worked harder one. Am I am maybe needing to face the fact that I have a personality type that just has trouble concentrating long enough to reallt work at a mix and just do the things that need to be done.
Listen to the backing vocals on that first "Once again" statement, it is way too loud, I could have fixed this easily with a drag of a volume envelope. Listen to the backing vocals on the long ending of " You'll Never Know", they are too harsh, I should have done some eq envelope, Why didn't I? There are multple instances where my vocal is out of pitch, why didn't I jkust work at the vocals until I got them good, where I didn't hear out of pitch parts. It isn't that I do hear these problems, it's that I seem to lose patience and that "Stick to it" mentality that it seems a good mixer just has to have. My god, it's the delayed gratification thing. I can't just delay and be patient until I getr it right EVEN THOUGH I know that if I did I would be more satisfied with my mixes and songs. I do the same thing in my songwriting, I don't take the time to just keep at it and mold, arrange, make new parts and actually work at it before I start recording.
So this may all be just my personality that I am fighting against and I may never be able to write, record, or mix because I am just not compatible with doing these things. Uhg
