Just watched this video by musician and tech guy Benn Jordan, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMYm2d9bmEA

So I sent off a final mix / master to a client today. They immediately downloaded, said they absolutely loved it, then said they were going to send it through an EQ to "make it slam a bit" by taking out some bass & "scooping" it a little. I offered to make the changes myself in the mix& re-master it for them. They said " no thanks, these are just tiny changes". I told them this master was exactly what they had wanted based off of reference tracks & my Studio policy is to fix it for them. They are now upset that I didn't readily agree to them EQing it themselves & I'm quite frankly not sure what to do. I don't really want my Studio's name on a track someone else has "fixed" up without my hearing it. This has never happened to me before - anyone have some thoughts or advice here?

OK, so I'm not really asking about who plans to start jogging every morning, I'm thinking along the lines of production and music making related goals. (But if the jogging part is essential for focussing your mind ready to make music, fantastic!) Who has a resolution for the new year, or a particular goal you want to achieve?

Would anyone else like to have a good FAQ (frequently asked questions)? @J Es and I wrote the official FAQ for the Fix The Mix live events a year ago. If so, we will post it again. This will hopefully help the newcomers and even some of the more experienced people find information that can be helpful as well. What are your thoughts?
