So, we've all been there. The mix. The EQ.
Just when you think you have it going well, you burn off a copy of your album-in-progress and play it straight through, say, in the car. And it sucks! Terrible. Of course part of the "sucks" and "terrible" is just getting sick of the project (which means it's almost done).
I've been mixing a long time, but this was some rookie-ass atrocious shit (maybe a bit harsh, but I wasn't pleased).
Re-mixing starts tomorrow. Now, it's just a never ending venture.
Like I said, we've all been there. And, thank goodness for sequential back-ups.
