Pro Sound Web: Recently I had an experience I’ve had before. I was working on mixing down a song we did a few years ago, and I just couldn’t get it working.
I do this stuff for fun now that I have more free time, and I enjoy playing with different techniques in the studio that I wouldn’t be able to do live. I had been working on the mix for quite a while, and it wasn’t happening.

This was an interesting article, and I think that the concepts in it can be applied almost universally to anything that involves creating something, whether it be visual art, music, writing or even paperwork. I know I’ve definitely had moments when starting over helped fix something that was off. I’ve never had it in the context of mixing sound, although I can see that this sort of thing probably comes up in the sound world a lot. What’s really cool about problems like this is that you can start over, and as they say in the article the new finished product will be very comparable to what you had before, but for some reason it will be better. It’s weird how that reason can be so unquantifiable or unknown, even after you’ve fixed it. It can be frustrating too, because there’s not much of a learning experience since you don’t know what was wrong.
