| I wonder if you are simply burnt out. You were wrecked after tracking and editing that record, then went straight into mixing. you made mix errors due to fatigue, brings on anxity,being anxious makes you even more tired, more error, more anxious and your confidence goes.
The other thing to consider is that for some people (and I'm one of these people) when they are tired/stressed/anxious some of the senses go into a kind of overload. So for me, when I'm wrecked I get hyper senstive to sound. A certain frequency range gets too 'piercing' or 'shiney' actually just plain irratating , and I'll produce mixes lacking in that area.
I also get super iratated by certain noises , (well actually more like crazily irrationally angry) by sounds like some one chewing gum or apples or the thump of music coming from the floor below.
The only thing for it when I get like this is to rest, and silence, somtimes resorting to ear plugs .
Are you in a position to take 3 months off? no mixing anything. quiet . rest. good food. meditation. etc etc. Then ease your self back into mixing, start with simple acoustic tracks and get your confidence back.
