Hey just a friendly reminder to stop comparing your tracks to big time producers - especially while you are still building your track. Don't get me wrong, it is good to have a reference point for mixing and mastering, but I think this constant comparison of how you're measuring up will not serve you well in the long run.
I sometimes fall into the habit of making something and then going to another track to see how mine is measuring up and getting discouraged. This is illogical though because they have already mixed and mastered their track and have made it to the best of their ability (and their sound engineers ability). I do however recommend taking ideas from your favorite producers and making them your own. This is how I have made the majority of my best tracks.
Anyways, just a little reminder to some of you who are getting started and get frustrated about your sound. Mindset is a huge factor in this game, so keep grinding.
