An interesting exercise

[mdlbear]

Following catsittingstill's suggestion, I threw my current collection of rough track mixes onto a CD and played it in my car going to and from work. I'd say about half of them are pretty good; the rest clearly need work. The most common problem was having the guitar part too far down in the mix -- in some cases it's practically inaudible.

And then there were the ones that were either not the most recent mix (it all depends on whether I remember to export a .wav file after I mix -- sometimes I forget), or had serious stupidities (like muting all the guitar tracks instead of just the scratch track).

As I said, interesting. In the Chinese curse sense.
