Creative Differences within the band
As many people have already suggested, you shouldn't mix your own songs. And I do understand the reason behind it.
Bias, attachment, and you tend to overthink everything. Which is why it's best to get a fresh set of ears to approach your song.
But how would you handle creative difference within the band?
We have three audio engineers, me included. And everyone just seems to have a different take on how we should mix our song. We decided to get a different person to eventually mix it, but I am afraid that our ideas would still clash.
If thats the case, is the engineer have the freedom to choose which direction to go? Or is that the producers job?
Granted that we started the band to actually have some fun with creating music, but I am afraid that having too many chefs in the kitchen would bite my ass and would just call it quits.
