Another great one from Bthelick on the importance of getting a second set of ears on your music.
Funny story. When I was working on my remix of Solarstone's 'Shards' (which started life as a bootleg) I sent the finished version over to @Julian Del Agranda for his opinion. (We were trying to get Solarstone's attention for an original track of mine, which Julian had remixed)
In short, he said that the bass was too loud, the breakdown was too long and the vocals were to quiet.
So I took another listen to the track on a few different speakers & headphones and decided that he was right. The bass was too loud and the breakdown was too long, so I made some changes, but left the vocals as they were as they sounded alright to me.
Eventually the track ended up in Solarstone's hands and he really liked it & thought it was well produced and as he sent me the original stems to finish the remix proper, he then asked for the only change that he thought the track needed. "Can you make the vocals a bit louder, please?"
So, yeah, getting a fresh pair of ears to give you some feedback can be really helpful!
