So why do I post songs I've already posted in the past? Well, simple answer, because I never stop learning better production techniques.


I call it "billy mays" mixing syndrome. With every project I do, it always seems like a never ending "BUT I'M NOT DONE YET". I think however, I'm finally at a level, I feel comfortable calling songs done (Final Mix: FM). Took MANY years but now I am confident in my abilities, the tools I've acquired, the techniques I've developed, the sound design I've done and most importantly the experience I've gained. I no longer feel I need to make something "perfect" and in doing so, I'm actually working more efficiently and producing my best mixes to date.


As the years go on, I'm sure I will learn more tricks and we all know there's a never ending list of new plugins that promise to make "everything better than before!" but I'm not intimidated by that anymore. I no longer "need a newer plugin" to "bring my mix to new heights" , , , so that I have to remix ALL MY STUFF OVER AGAIN. lol. It's already good and good is good enough. After all, if a mix is solidly decent, loud enough, and the song is GOOD, the rest is just bragging rights. Having the shiniest most over the top mixing, isn't going to make a bad song good, or make a great song any better. This is of course all, in my own opinion.


I may never reach the top tear mix perfection some mainstream producers get but I'm fine with that now. The songs matter more to me than endless polish or chasing the newest trend. At the end of the day, that's what it boils down to. There comes a time when polish, is simply just more polish. More for the sake of more. Loosing sight of what mattered in the first place. For me, what mattered was making excellent, interesting, adventurous, electronic music, that wasn't afraid to do somethings differently. I can say, even if my production quality never gets any better, I've indeed done exactly that. Loud and clear.


Now I just have to finish updating all my old mixes lol.
