Failure is opportunity

Recently, I had a friend reach out to me and asked if I would Mix a song they tracked in their home studio. I agreed to help them out. I’m in this for fun, I am already financially stable so I never ask for money. It’s therapeutic to me. All was going good until the response from the band came to a holt. I knew something was off. Turns it there was another engineer providing his version of the mix as well. I was fired lol. I will say, his mix was FANTASTIC! The group made the right decision. I’d be lying if I said it didn’t hurt a bit, even though for me, it was for fun. When they gave me the news, they also told me that what I did to the arrangement was incredibly and that the other engineer didn’t have the creative aspect. I still landed there respect as a “producer” and they want me to help in that area. I learned that even though my weakness came through, I still had very good strengths. These are opportunities to improve and celebrate. Stay Mixing!
