I think both of you (Blitzz & Mikej) are misunderstanding what I said.
The point is: I do not get anything from references as far as learning is concerned. You both have listened to my mix. As you can see (hear), it shows the level I am at wherever it is, mostly at the starting point of the race, imo. I don't care for reference NOT bc I don't care about what the band wants but rather it's a target a bit farther than my aim at current position. You use your vast skills and knowledge to apply to me probably thinking that I am at a higher level than I really am but you are wrong. I am only a beginner. I know that. You both should too to be fair to me. Einstein said, “Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree (in my case, I should add "at the wrong time"), it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.” If I were the fish, I am only learning how to...swim. Right now, as a mixer, I am only beginning to learn how to listen. What hope do I have giving you what you want as a band? Let's drive this home: if I were a samurai, right now I am using a wooden katana. No one should hire that samurai for protection. No one sane, that is.
But hey, I may find it useful in the future. That happens all the time with me. I'd abandon something and later come back ended up doing better than before. Did that ever happen to you? If so, why am I so special not to have to go thru the same growing pain, right? Blitzzz, it took you 2 years to be able to find reference useful, I suspect it'll take more for me. We are still talking about years tho, plural. Not everybody starts at the same starting point you know. The learning process demands the presence of time.
Btw, is reference=rough mix or reference # rough mix?
I think there is a difference bet reference and rough mix. They are not the same. Correct me if I am wrong in this context.
Reference, to me, is any mix from pro with the same genre. Rough mix is what the band has in mind for that particular song. Right now I find the rough mix more useful than reference mix.
Well, I hope I didn't write anything offensive tho sometimes my delivery is somewhat crude and terse but all for the sake of learning and seeking understanding. It's never out of disrespect. I will always give you back the same in kind. That's for sure.
