One Step Forward, Two Steps Back

One step forward, two steps back. That is typically the way of things, isn’t it?

You make progress, or at least you think you do, and then suddenly there is something in your way. What you do next seems to be what it is really all about.

I love working with music. Making it. Mixing it. I think I have a particularly good sense of how disparate parts can come together and become something more. Where I struggle is knowing how loud or soft pieces should be. I feel like I am getting better, but I still have to train my ear.

Maybe that just takes time. Maybe I need to find a mentor or some reliable resource on the web, though that feels unlikely.

I’m fairly certain I can forge some kind of new path out of what I have been doing over the past year. Like I have said in previous posts, I just need to keep showing up every day and doing the work.
