Hope everyone's having a great December 🙂 Wanted to share that I've recently made some good strides in mixing after watching the Lenses module in the classroom. I really resonated with the part about spending 20min to make a track 1% better. I used to view mixing as a daunting task and felt like I would have to dedicate 1-2 undisturbed days to mixing a song (and consequently put it off for months). I'm beginning to see how I can incorporate shorter sessions into my day to day life, and even experience mixing as a leisurely activity rather than something stressful. I've been leaning into trusting my taste and my instincts, and as a result I've been flowing through music much more quickly and gracefully. Thanks for the helpful insight 🫶 & happy holidays to everyone

https://soundcloud.com/dougsweeney/latin-melodic-bass-concept Hey guys, I'm playing and experimenting with latin vocals over various genres of EDM I like. I had John Hayes give me some awesome feedback on this track in terms of getting the vocals and keys to align. I think I've accomplished that and wanted to get some additional feedback from the group. I'm still a fairly inexperienced producer so all feedback and ideas welcome here. I won't be on the call tonight so wanted to share this out now. Have a great weekend!

Our first guest speaker on the community call! went over sound design, sample pack business/working with splice, being a producer on the back end of records, and overcoming writers block mentalities
