I can't mix faster than that if it's a full band. The problem with low budget recordings is that it takes longer to mix that if song was recorded properly.
Take your time and fix it before you mix.

That sorta sums it for me. No Budget 2-5 hours and I walk away from it.

People willing to pay my rate, no less than 12 hours usually 12-16.

The quality improves over time

Not to say the "5 hr Rush mixes are crap." I just notice more detail those next 11 hours. LOL Especially if it was a song I didnt track.

Relationships improve with more time. (ask your wife if you treat her right. LOL)
