Reality check; Mixes are never finished....they are only abandoned

My 2 cents, if its a client, its not done till they are happy, but after revision #3, I charge for further revisions(rev #9 has only happened twice in 14 years). If its my own stuff, Mix #1 is never the final. I will listen over a few days and likely make changes, but I try to NOT go past a 3rd revision. I do save every revision as a .PTX(and I move the older versions into the Session Backups folder)

I also agree with Southsidemusic as I have heard plenty of hits that have questionable(to me) choices. Going back 40 years, I can think of lots of hits that were poor mixes or have outright mistakes in them, but they were/are still hits. An okay recording/mix of a great song and performance beats a perfect recording/mix of crap
