Show Notes
Perfectionism might be the thing ruining your mixes. In Episode 7 of KNOBS, Simon Moro and Terry Hart explore why speed, instinct and creative momentum often beat endless tweaking. Along the way they dive into client feedback, fast mixing workflows, mastering frustrations, old records, dynamic EQs, plugin overload, live sound, loud music, and whether modern production has accidentally become too complicated. This episode starts with tangents and somehow ends up answering one of the biggest questions in music production: How much is enough? Expect practical advice, strong opinions, and a few audio rabbit holes.
