I am always discouraged by the mixing aspect of music production and not being able to achieve the sound i want. what do i do?
remember the rock n roll principle (this has nothing to do with rock n roll) you can always imagine a time period where it is technologically impossible to get any sound better than the sound you're getting, and you must find a way to use songwriting the make up for it. there is rock n roll in every time period so just pretend that your sound as it is is all that's available in that time period
