Great quote

[Downside Studio]

Once said by a mixing engineer:

“When everybody thinks they’re the loudest, I’m done”

 

[Whoopysnorp]

Classic! And too true!

It still doesn't resolve the dilemma of one person who plays all the instruments but can't decide how to mix them, though.

That's called schizophrenia.

I like to ask mixers to "make everything louder than everything else."

Reminds me of an old "trick" I learned live mixing. When the guitar player steps out in front of the PA to play a solo, always turn him up more than what you think is appropriate.

man, i resemble that remark. that's why i try not to mix a song until a couple of days after i do the last recording.

by then i will hopefully not make the last thing recorded the loudest thing in the mix.

Hey, that's a good idea! I may try that.

VERY good call, Cross. I tend to fall into that trap quite a bit.
