Let`s review:
The original poster was planning on mixing it himself , in a particular studio on a particular desk. He had some technical questions around this.
Then people started jumping on him saying "don`t be silly , get an engineer to mix it. You`ll never do the music justice" etc.
So you assume he`s not so good because of the nature of his technical questions , and even if he IS great he can`t do it himself because he won´t be objective enough to make "the hard decicions".
There is no such thing as THE right way to mix music. Or one way to balance a vocal. This is Art , he`s expressing himself . And this attitude of "let the pro`s fix it" is presicely what he should avoid because it leads to boring art.
Unless he , like I stated before , gets a TOP class guy.
This is just my opinion , of course , but I´d rather hear an interesting and unusual mix. Which is exactly what people like Spike does , that`s why they get the gigs.

i'm not sure what 'proper' has to do with anything, or why you injected it into the discussion.
and while dave pensado may have said that, he isn't churning out anything that sounds bad so a grain of salt might be in order. imo, it's probably best to be both 'new' AND 'good'. why make arbitrary choices between desirable qualities?
