Of course I do! That’s what I stop mixing that song, and will come back to it a couple of days later when my mind is fresh. The worst thing you can do is mix a song when you are fatigued. It is far better to rest and come back to it when you are feeling in the game. Otherwise, you plague yourself with poor makes decisions which then show in the song. Even after I mix this song, I will try to wait a couple of days before I consider mastering it. That is when I will have another listen to the song and decide if certain things need to be tweaked. I don’t believe in fixing anything in the mastering, just as I don’t believe in fixing any recording in the mix.

And yes, our hearing changes daily because our feelings change daily.

Aside from the fact that your other thread was not hijacked, the reason that your bounce is not sounding the same as the preset is because it lacks the cohesiveness of the bus processing at the end.

This would need to be re-created within your DAW, and even then it may differ because various software developers develop plug-ins that emulate hardware in their own way.  You pretty much have to go by your ears in order to dial things in the way you wish.

Bouncing separate tracks through the bus is not the same by any stretch as adding bus processing to all of the tracks. It will be disjointed and somewhat unreal because everything is not working together.

If you are finding that it is overwhelming in the chorus, perhaps add a bit of automation uncertain channels.

I haven’t released any new songs lately, as I have been taking the time during COVID to sharpen some rhythm skills.I do have a couple of songs in the works, however.

I had a listen. So far, the only thing that really stuck out in the first song is that The drums did not feel prominent in the mix. Other than that, I liked it.
