Mixing Like a Man Possessed

I have been mixing like a man possessed lately. So many good projects on my plate. If yours is one of them, sorry, its probably gonna be a little slow going. I always try to give 110% of my ability to every mix, big or small, which means lately my turnaround time is a bit slower, but hopefully its worth it. In this business i'm expected to hit a home run every time i step up to the plate to mix a song, and well, being that i mix on a flat fee basis and guarantee my work, i have the luxury of spending as much time on a mix as i need to so that it comes out right. You know, if you just book a recording studio and go mix your song, your always looking at the clock, your always balancing money spent against how much more fine tuning you want to do to the mix. That forces you to make gut reaction decisions which you often find out later where wrong or your left thinking "if i had only spent another $100 of studio time". I always hated having to mix that way for clients when i was coming up in the world. You NEVER wanna be asked as a mixer "how much longer is this gonna take". So, i built my own studio and play by my own rules now. Now, for all my cleints, i mix until i'm done mixing, which is always the way i've mixed for major labels. then if we need to make mix revisions, we make them, and its all covered in the flat rate. So, enough talk, I have clients waiting for mixes, and I'm in the middle of a super hot pop song right now. gotta get back to work.
