What time in the morning did you finish your session?How much takeout did you slam down?What number of coffees are you up to now?All these concessions we make for working harder and longer for what?It's not just me, but many of us have felt the weight of anxiety, stress, and health issues.But what’s the alternative?Working less? Losing jobs?Trying to find this balance can feel like a never-ending struggle, like a see-saw that never levels out.Over the past five years, I’ve formed habits at the studio to help me with this, which we’ll go over.

How to mix records and make your clients happy!

By understanding that no mix has a predefined path, you make yourself available to steer mixes toward your client's vision. This involves actively listening to your client's feedback, making adjustments that align with their preferences, and communicating effectively about the changes you're making. This is how you get clients singing your praises at the end of a project.
Unfortunately, mixing engineers' most significant challenges often unlocks the best-sounding records and the happiest clients, providing valuable learning opportunities that can motivate you to improve your skills.

By learning from these mistakes, you can actively engage in the process of improving your rate structure, which is a crucial step towards turning a profit and growing in this industry.

Fear of losing a job
Attracting the wrong clients
