Believe

[Mandubien]

In my first version I want to test how far my poor and old ears can take me. Then I'll start studying with suitable references, meters and ears what could have been done better, or what were my biggest mistakes this time...

Really ? Wow, isn't that a bit risky ? If you're far from the reference track, well you lost quite some time to mix for nothing didn't you ? I mean the point of using reference tracks is to imitate them in terms of tone, balance, stereo placement... To me it definitively helps to do the right choices from start.
