I agree with TF about comparing stuff....

During the mix/production, it can be dangerous.......leave the comparisons for after, in the cold light of day.......

......maybe set aside time to do some experiments.....try to emulate the sound of your favorite producers/mixers....do it scientifically...

....but don't do it while your actually trying to create......it can paralyse.....definately been there, done that........

Instead of comparing to others during the mix/production, focus that mental energy towards your own music.......think of your music in terms of energy, flow, groove...try to cast a spell that will take possesion of people....

and try to be original, rather then copy...the greats like Jimi Hendrix, James Brown etc are great because they didn't copy......they did their own thing....

and for gods sake, tell us about your monitoring/room!......i think i must have asked you this about 5 times in the last few months....
