Studio last night. Doin' the mixin' thang. Of the three songs we mixed, I'm unhappy with one. It's such a small thing, but of the say, 10 minutes of recorded music, roughly 15 seconds of it drives me nuts. Ben's cool with it, but he says if I'm not, we can mess with it. He can hear my complaint, but he takes it as a stylistic choice, and not an pissue. But I see it as an issue. And I know it can be fixed. If it can sound better, I guess it should sound better. He agrees with that.
But at what point to you accept what you have? And at what point do you keep trying to improve it? I mean, you can edit to oblivion, but eventually you have to say, "This is what it is. This is good. And it's good enough."
Luckily, this particular instance does not fall into this category. I was listening to the same three songs last night repeatedly, so I might have some listening fatigue. I'll give it a shot tonight. Let an objective party listen to it. If I'm still unhappy, or they mention the problem without me prompting them, and Ben's cool with it, it's getting changed.
