I wish I could hire a freaking engineer to record and mix my "stuff" The whole technical aspect of this gives me a headache every time I try to do a new song
I just put up a new one, I worked on it for two months! (recording it) and I mixed it "for days..." And I've already remixed it twice with some significant changes based on input from the songs forum.
I think the whole "black art" of mixing? Requires a special gene or something... And unfortunately? My gene's have whole's in them...
