How do you cope with it?
Currently mixing an album that I've just heard too much because the project is taking so long to come to fruition. The client keeps changing their mind about what they actually want, I keep walking away from it, tearing it down, starting from scratch, doing all the usual routine shit for when you start to feel like you've had enough, and none of it is working.
It doesn't help that I'm really not digging the music either. I just don't care enough to put my heart into it any more, and that's a horrible feeling. You can't always land on your feet with clients, some of it's gonna be shit, but lately I've had some seriously badass bands to work with, and I think that hasn't helped in this case, because they've come along whilst this is still ongoing, and they've been enjoyable, fun to work on, and the results were great.
For example I'm mixing this instrumental metal stuff too right now and it's really fun to work on because it's got lots of energy, and then when I'm done I've gotta work on this bullshit and I'm just struggling to find the inspiration
