Do you watch mixing tutorials? As I started mixing I was addicted to all kinds of mixing tipps, tutorials, YouTube videos and such. I always thought I had to do it "right" and strictly stuck to the do's and don'ts. "Don't compress more than..." "Never boost EQ's, rather cut..." "Never push the EQ band more than..." Today I know, you sometimes get the best results when you push it over the boundaries, when you almost destroy it sometimes. Good mixing doesn't mean that everything is done technically correct, it's an art form. The best art often is a result of doing something extrem that no one else would have done it like this. Keep the technicalities in mind as a tool box, but don't be afraid to try a hammer for a screw. Don't be afraid to be creative just because someone said "Don't do...". Have fun while mixing, be creative, try things no one else would do (by the way: this is also what we need to do, to stay ahead from ai tools - but this is a whole new topic) #mixingtips #audioengineer #mixingtutorial #mixingeducation #mixingadvice #mixingtechniques #mixingtricks #mixinginspiration #mixingmindset #mixingart #mixingcreativity #mixingboundaries #pushingtheboundaries #mixingfun #mixingchallenge #mixingexperimentation #mixinginnovation #mixingartistry #mixingexpression https://www.instagram.com/p/CptGt4pMfjr/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
