The bit about avoiding dogma needs to be preached (yes, ironically) more! We haven't been in the community very long, but we've discovered just how religious people can get about particular bits of equipment and techniques, when the point should be just to get it done. IMO, it sort of discourages new musicians from joining the scene, and/or creating much more frustration than is worth. Good post! Fascinating article – and timeless tips, too.

One warning though, everyone has an opinion, if you try to make everyone who listens to your mix happy you will never get it done. Great post!

Over the campaign I’m exploring the significance of the number 72 in lots of different situations and I would like you to be part of it! My blog today is about mixing, something that I've really learnt the importance of through my years of recording songs. If I take the parable of baking a cake - you can have the best ingredients to make a chocolate cake but if you put too much of one ingredient in, over the others it will destroy it, if you over cook it or under cook it that will make a big difference, and it is the same with mixing - watch my video from the mixing room of making of my new single 72 Names (Hallelujah). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EIk0-H9vFjg I am a singer-songwriter Tally Koren writing to you today about the launch of new single 72 Names (Hallelujah) which will last for 72 days.

I do it. Also, that it is definitely easier to see what trained musicians, and friends have to say on this regarding your music. ( all of course depending on the genre). Also, to much of a good tip can also be a dogma. "practice makes perfect" I once said. Then my uncle protests "Practice perfect, makes perfect"...I love this because it seems to be true, for me at least. Thanks! :) Actually, I’d also like to point out that music being “too busy” is extremely common. I do it.
