If you’ve ever told yourself, "I’ll fix it in the mix," this video is for you. The truth is, mixing can’t fix everything—and believing it can is keeping your songs from sounding as polished and professional as they should.

In this video, I break down:

⚠️ Why a bad recording can’t be “fixed” in the mix
🎚 How weak editing can ruin an otherwise great song
🎵 Why arrangement and pre-production matter more than plugins
🎤 Why feeling and emotion always trump technical perfection
🔧 The mindset shift that will make your mixes faster and better

If you’re frustrated with your music not sounding the way you imagined, it’s time to shift your focus—because the real secret to pro-level mixes starts way before mixing even begins.
