The wife is away on bidniz so my daughter's been stuck with dear old dad for a day.

 

And although I'm pretty capable of taking care of a one-year old, there's one thing that eludes me:

 

Doing her hair.

 

I'm pretty much SuperDad when it comes to everything else, but a hair-tie is basically my kryptonite.

 

And of course, I'm screwed because her signature look is two pig-tails sticking our from either side of her head like an adorable toddler that's secretly scheming to take over the world.

 

"Who? Me?!?"

 

But this morning I DID manage to put in one ponytail so she could at least see.

 

BUT....if you look at her from just the right angle, all the hair in the back is sticking out.

 

So she basically looks like she has a mullet. 

 

A ponytail on top, party in the back.

 

Which, funnily enough, makes her just like her father because when I became a naturalized American citizen, the first thing they did was cut me a mullet.

 

Here's the party pic:

As usual, don't show this to anybody!

 

There's a longer story behind why I had a mullet that day and maybe I'll tell you all about it sometime.

 

It involves Mexico, a pool party, and an amateur hairdresser/attorney (she's only an amateur in one of those things...).

 

But anyway, once I master the ponytail, maybe my skill-level will be enough to tackle the pigtails.

 

You see, you can't just jump to the advanced level if you haven't mastered the basics yet.

 

If you can't mix a simple song with 12 tracks, there's NO WAY you can mix a 100-track song.

 

You simply can't skip steps that way. You'll be in way over your head.

 

So if you're having problems mixing complex arrangements and busy songs with lots of tracks, maybe you need to ease up on the difficulty level?

 

If things get too hard too fast, you'll lose confidence and give up. 

 

Instead, try for marginal, continuous improvement over time. That way, things won't feel as difficult, you won't feel as dejected, and you're less likely to give up.

 

And of course, if you're at just the right amount of tracks in your mix but you STILL can't get that separation and balance that you're looking for, my Audio Issues EQ will help clear that right up.
