Something I was thinking about today...How good are you at following your own gut feeling/instinct? This could apply to mixing or your own compositions.
A big part of developing any skill is being receptive to feedback and taking on board what you can learn from others, but with music tastes (and any artform) being so subjective, how do you decide what advice you're going to take as opposed to what you'll ignore? Not all advice given is good advice!
You could post a track and 1 person may tell you to boost the low end while another might tell you to cut it.
I've produced music for over 10 years and feel I've gotten quite good at following my instinct as to what sounds good - I'd love to know how you guys deal with feedback/critique on your own work, and how much you change things based on comments you receive.
