Fresh ears are the best Ears for playback

When playing a mix back for yourself listen with fresh ears the next day or bring in someone to go over the mix.

Recently during a mix i spent countless hours on, My ears were quite tired and I was rushing to get it done and what was happening was because I was focused in on the pieces i was adjusting I couldn't get the small details to sit right. In my case it was super simple as the vocals were too low in the song and all I had to do was raise the volume and add a compressor to bring them out "in your face!" Since I was tired and rushed it actually took me three passes to get the job done right. I ended up having to bring in a fresh pair of ears to go over the mix the third time.

Side Note: don't rush take your time, you can't rush art as everyone says and also don't be afraid to ask for help.

#EveryDetailCounts
