![]() ![]() ![]() Seriously, if you’re taking days to mix and master a song, it should be a red flag that you don’t have the experience to mix and master. Now let’s talk about what’s wrong with you… how much time do we have today? ![]() If you’re in this camp, I’d say your song probably isn’t that bad and that if you’ve just listened to it way too much and you need to take a break from it (demo-itis anyone?).Īnd if you’re a crazy person like me, you’re going to ignore that advice and keep working on that song until blood starts dripping out of your ears right? If your song is taking days to mix and master then it probably isn’t a strong enough song to begin with and by mixing it your hearing all the flaws over and over again and figuring out ways to cover it all up. I’ve worked on songs with well over 200 tracks and that didn’t include the vocal tracks! If your song has over 200 tracks that is just way too many and it’s why our mixing and mastering service charges based on the number of tracks.īecause it takes more time and effort to mix a song with more tracks! You literally recorded it on a child’s pink karaoke mic in an unfinished basement during a hailstorm (actually this might be a new genre). The first thing is that the recording is just plain bad. Let’s start of with what could be seriously wrong with the song… If you’re spending days mixing a song then something is either seriously wrong with the song or seriously wrong with you. So I understand the level of perfection (or crazy) artists who are constantly tweaking their music go through, but honestly it’s not needed.Īnyway, back to the original question, if you’re mixing and mastering your own song and you have some experience doing it, I’d say it should only take a few hours. But for my own sanity, I do it because I either learned a new technique that could benefit that song or can fix something I didn’t catch earlier (that literally no one can hear). I’m joking but even as a professional audio engineer, I find myself going back to my songs and making tiny tweaks and re-releasing them just because I can.īut do my listeners actually know or care? Nope. If you’re mixing and mastering your own music then it’ll take a lifetime. ![]()
