I'm very tempted to put a maxim on the mix, but people in here have told me to leave the mix bus alone for the mastering engineer. Then again, a seasoned veteran engineer told be that "the only f**kin rule is that there are no f**kin rules...do what you think sounds good." Any takes on this. I know there's some seasoned vets out their ready to school me. I'm 22 years old and own a studio along with my brother. (We have a Control 24, Mix Cubed, 888, 1622...). I just read a post from 2 year's back talking about mixes getting too squashed, too loud, no dynamic range, etc. Then I thought...That's all I've grown up with. I mean, I DJ and listen to plenty of old records, might be more well rounded than some of my peers but the music of my generation, what I'm growing up with is the squashed sound. Now I'm getting off my own topic, but that old post just go me thinking. Come school a student of the game.
