If you've been worried about cranking your EQs, slamming your compressors or bursting into the red on your meters - don't.
Just don't.
If it makes your mix sound better, it doesn't matter that your EQ has a 20 dB boost at 5 kHz.
Don't worry about being conservative, leave that to the politicians instead.
Just do what you think makes the mix sound better.
If you don't believe me, you gotta watch Jordan Valeriote's new video where he goes all-in on busting myths and breaking rules.
It's enlightening and educational, but more importantly, highly entertaining and hilarious.
