sadly, i have nothing to say.
i’m busy mixing songs for the next record, so the only thoughts running through my head are: ‘do i suck?’ ‘is there any way to make that snare drum not sound like a complete piece of shit?’ ‘compression or no compression?’ ‘if a good song is mixed poorly is it still a good song?’ ‘why do the songs on the radio in the supermarket sound so much better than mine?’ and etc.
the creative process is always infused with a healthy (or un-healthy, i haven’t figured it out) modicum of self doubt (and self loathing…).
so, back to the mixing board (that’s almost a pun. actually it is a pun. but not a very good one.)
it is usually during the mixing process that i wish that i had a partner or a collaborator or at least someone to blame things on.
i do like working alone, but when things go poorly (as they inevitably do at times) there’s no one to blame but myself.
