Hey Tracy!!!
Ive been out all day and just getting back in. Getting ready to check out what ya have done with the wonderful help ya got from everyone.
This place is so comforting with the helpfulness everyone is willing to contribute
It is a long learning curve just coming into it and you will get better in time.
Beepster nailed it!!! Take breaks and take them often. Your ears will get burnt, tired, etc...
Long breaks when working and trying to sort something like that out will do wonders.
Make others mixes that you like a goal to achieve down the road with the learning curve. It s not an overnight fix and one cant compare someone elses equipment and techniques to another and expect the same results. It will come in time to what you want or expect with the experience you will gain in the entire process. Just takes time and learning. Im not where I want and its so easy to get caught in that rut that it is never ready. Ive learned to get what I capture as good as I can and then move on to the next project-if you dont, it will always seem to be at that point of"its not quite right yet" LOL
Just have fun and keep on moving forward-but dont forget to take a break, whether its an hour or days depending on what your hearing.
