I bought fresh pasta yesterday from a fancy market.
Or so I thought.
When I cooked it, the pasta wouldn’t separate and it ended up like a big ball of goo instead of the nice strands of pasta I expected.
My suspicion is that it had been sitting on the counter since the last time I bought pasta from them. Hardly fresh any more.
Today, I could go back to the market and complain. I could give them constructive feedback or be a Karen about how "they almost ruined dinner!"
But most likely, I’ll do none of that and just never buy their pasta again.
The same thing will happen to your music if it doesn’t sound professionally mixed.
The listener will skip the song. The music supervisor will reject your placement. The potential fan will move on.
And it’s unlikely they’ll tell you why.
There is no leeway when it comes to your mixes. They must sound professional otherwise they’ll never compete.
So it’s up to you to put your best foot forward and make sure your sounds are up to snuff.
And if they don’t, they’ll be ignored yet you'll be none the wiser.
If you'd like my help to turn your recordings into professional mixes, I can help.
Have a great day,
Björgvin
