Hey guys, just wondering how you all got into mixing.
My story is, I was a rapper, then made beats for my raps, then someone suggested I learned to mix to save money. It was something I initially hated. However, years later it's by far the thing I most enjoy out of the music creation process.
I enjoy it so much, I find myself fulfilled by this, constantly watching tutorials, trying new techniques, and practicing mixing songs a lot. Like it's fulfilling my expression that once only rapping, or beatmaking could do.
And I find myself doing less and less of those 2, and more focusing on mixing. It's a dilemma I hold in my head.
I have an album out on Spotify, with mixtapes, singles, music videos.
I guess I'm ranting, maybe there's no linearity. They all take a very long time to master individually. And I find myself getting lost in some more than others, often times the mix. Producing less of my own original music. And part of me thinks like "don't let the dream die of making your own music".
I don't know, did anyone feel like mixing was their path from the getgo? Maybe's it's ending up being mine. But I still love making music. This is just a thought I had and I'm curious if anybody else has felt similarly. At the end of the day we're all music lovers, just wondering how people get to certain paths.
