In this episode, Ben and Carl dive into the delicate art of handling mix revisions and collaborating with artists. After a brief hiatus, they return with fresh insights on:
- Why mix revisions aren't personal attacks on your skills or taste
- The balance between respecting the artist's vision while providing professional guidance
- How to handle situations when artists' requests conflict with their stated goals
- The importance of clear communication and expectation-setting from the start
- Why checking in early and often prevents major revision headaches later
- Tips for working with artists who communicate in different languages or styles
