Thanks, Gentlemen!
From your words I gather that I am at least on the right track
The perspective from the point of view of a mixer is very different compared to the one I had before, both as a musician and a listener.
As many people, I used to be attracted to certain kinds of music only. Through mixing, and thanks to the ReaMixed contest, I get to know different genres of music all the time.
Very interesting, not to say exciting, although at times, especially if mixing time is limited, it feels a bit overwhelming.
