What does it mean when I hit the windmill?
In the end it's really hard to describe how some things sound. Try explaining Beethoven's Fifth without notes. We have to use analogies. Like Golf. Which, I've never played so it doesn't equate, but, I get it from reading MitC's description. I'd argue for more universal experiences like food or movies or a book something but whatever moves someone is valid.
It's like a thick burger with too much meat and not enough fixings
Shakespeare without punctuation
Mozart without rests.
This song with too much compression.
Watching Lawrence of Arabia in 4:3.
It's all there but compacted. It needs breath.
We're not trying to be jerks. The compression is just a side note to the bigger lesson of mixing. Being able to analyze it. Find a mix of a song you like and see if you can describe the aspects of the mix that you like or don't like. Not the melody, not the chords but the overall sound. It's easy to say something's out of tune. It's harder to say why one inversion is better than another. What's the difference between a minor scale and a major scale? On average we don't go by sharps and flats but happy and sad and moods.
