Hey all. Not sure if this makes any sense. I feel my mixes are getting better but yet I dont think I am doing anything diffrent. Anyone else notice this? Just throwin it out there

So maybe it is not about different techniques, but just about doing your already known techniques better
yeah same here,
and if anything I'm doing less now to my mixes yet they're coming together better than they ever have before, I used to immediately eq all the guitars separately and try fit each part in, now I buss them left and right and only eq these.

just remember that even if your brain isn't learning any new tips/techniques, your ears might be...
Techniques and such are just tools. You are learning to use those tools better.

Fancy a pint? Or two?
From my perspective, I've learned a ton in less than a year (all thanks to this forum...many thanks!) but I don't have the budget to immediatly apply all that I know. Unforunately, story of my life.
Really haven't bought any new software or hardware, save changing my guitar. It's fantastic though to go back to old mixes and clean them up A LOT. Plus there's the whole Unrest band mix here that I toy around with, dipping my hand in a decently recorded mix. My best advice to how to learn is just watch. Observe what people in the know do, check out or make any and all A/B comparisons you can and completely master, and I mean MASTER what you do have as far as software/hardware goes. Like previously mentioned in a funny/not so funny thread about sounding like Andy Sneap, the best tools in world will make you sound like crap if you don't use 'em right.

an analogy: lets say you play a guitar, you just played a new riff. then you play it all over again and again and again and again and then you suddenly notice that you can actually play this riff even in your sleep. think about metallica, I bet Jaymz can play (as many other people) the mainriff of Master of Puppets each time today pretty spot on and it will sound stellar compared to the time he composed it, eventho he isn't doing anything different. but as jesse z said: practice makes perfect.
