We all know that if everyone created exactly the sound in their head it would be amazing and everyone would like it just as much as they do. The issue is, then there would be no special musicians- no more fame, free-living off of your audio drawings. Boo-hoo…So, the Mixing-Gate has activated to prevent any socially undecided individuals from producing perfect result of their ideas. A netrythm caused by combined patterns of responses and effort from trying to sound more interesting than one another.These patterns follow a comprehensible system that can be tracked and understood. -impressionYou’ve got 10 seconds to keep me listening“This beat is weak, or too cliche”-performanceYou have even less time to keep me listening once you start performing your lyrics“You aren’t good, or you’re doing a popular style.”-satisfactionYou need to make my brain feel good somehow, excite me, make me feel that cozy depression I’m addicted to.“This is boring’-articulationSuccess comes with the bitter price of jealousy.Your song now has to be doing enough to have earned being satisfying, or else anyone can do it.“Needs more instruments, pitches in singing, or vocabulary in rhyming.”-resultUnfortunately doing too much means there has to be an error, a mic pop or muffle vocal that when you fix it muffles your bass, or else it doesn’t make sense how you just do it without problems.“It’s good, but he doesn’t know how to fix the ‘s-spike’.”-accessibilityJust because you’re good at all of the above doesn’t mean we have to like or support you. Anyone could do that with enough time and practice- who tf are you. Suck my dick first, or else I’m not cool with sucking yours.“This is just weird, why won’t you just make a Tyler, The Creator type song? We like those!”—ultimately how accessible you are depends on how social you are.
You’ll find that as you progress up the mixing wheel, the resulting errors follow this rhythm and demand that you compromise elsewhere, unrelated to mixing, before it goes away.Mixing is not the object science of sound. It is indeed the social science of agreed upon perception. That is why music is such a political industry. You all know this is true by what you yourselves demand of any artist you challenge: “become more of my musical politics if you want me to support you!”That means, if you want to mic better, make more people happy. Make more friends. Make more social agreements. (Or you can earn it the hard, homeless way- like I did.)
>>130495555hmmmnone of this is interesting to me.thank you.
>>130495601Based on the chart, that would mean you’re impressed by it. My ability to communicate and understand is good, but you’re unsatisfied because it’s too much for you.

>yet another schizo-larperYawn
>>130495825First one was boring- too much Last one falls on inaccessible- gayThis one just impresses understanding (perfromance)You’re literally following the cycle.Next is that I’m performing poorly.
>>130495555So you're saying there's a conspiracy against ordinary people making music? A set of unachievable requirements that prevent anyone but the big names from being accepted as valid musicians? I assume you've had to deal with this yourself, since you've figured so much of this out. Can I hear your music OP? I'd like to know what art the establishment is trying to hide from me, free from conformity to artificial standards
>>130495555>>>/x/
>>130495555imagine giving a shit about listeners.the harshest critic i'll ever find is myself
