RE: Let's Make Better Music ... Together! - Mixing Part 1: EQ( and some panning)
Thanks for your perspective on some rather effective mixing strategies. Not enough could be said on your first bullet item, 'ears fresh' ... What I call 'ear fatigue' is one reason I'm considering a firm rule about laying tracks one day and not mixing down until after getting a night's sleep.
On the other hand, that could let become too familiar.
Objectivity and familiarity is a whole topic in itself along with psychoacoustics ...
Self doubt, negative self talk, all reasons to take a break.
Also, I've adopted a rule that if there is a persistent noise from outside affecting my audible perception in the least, it's time to take a break, leave the studio, make a snack, take a walk etc.
