I'm sure most people here are very enthusiastic when it comes to mixers, hardware and plugins - just like me. Anyone else dreaming of having €100,000€/$ to go shopping? But what is far more important than the technology we use is the experience that comes from listening to music that has already been produced. I keep realizing how much I benefit from the fact that I've already heard thousands (!) of albums and have thus developed a good idea of how music should sound (for me) - or should NOT sound like. It is important to learn how to work out the emotional message of a song in the production and in the mix. Ultimately, we always connect through feelings with the songs that accompany us through life. It's great when you have the chance to develop the technical skills to make it sound great. That's why I want to thank the mentors: I'm one step further :-) (in just 3 days - how cool is that?)
