Default Re: Bash this recording rant

I think this is where "Bash This Mix" and "Bash This Song" come in... if I remember correctly, either these used to be separate and got combined, or Brandon was just talking about splitting them up... it might be time to do it.
They were once split and it became impossible to isolate them. Guys would post a song in Bash This Mix but then the arrangement or performance would be flawed. I decided that it was impossible to separate the music from the engineering and I merged the two together. I have no plans of splitting them. This is the best way in my opinion.

For me, the benefit of this forum is to improve my "best efforts", not my "unpolished thoughts".. so in turn, I really want to critique your best work, not your unfinished work.
I 100% agree. From an engineering standpoint, a person should bust their butt to get a mix to be as good as it can possibly be. Then ask for help. If you know X, Y, and Z are screwed up it doesn't make sense to post it in my opinion.

When I mix, I'm a one-track mind kind of a guy. If something is screwed, I focus on it and nothing else. So when I hear that X, Y, and Z are flawed I have a hard time looking past those flaws.

Maybe make an extra forum in the Bash section for "unfinished ideas"?
This is the way to go.
Unfinished Ideas - Home Recording Forum

This will let us keep the "quality" factor high in the standard sections, but give us a "bullpin" where guys can work out their ideas.
