Like breaking the song elements apart, and pushing each of the elements up in the mix every once in a while.
I'll try to give an example:
They didn't hear enough pads so they wanted it more in the mix with more body...and after 2-3 hours, they finally realize that pads are over-powering the mix, so the pads come down.
Their approach is the same for each one of the elements in the mix(vocals, drums, bass, synth lines,...) periodically each of the elements has to be set to loudest level in order to satisfy them sonically and they move one to another part.
Sounds weird...but I feel a little burnt with this approach, because the artist is new and didn't have any prior experience working on mix sessions in the studio... |
Sounds like you have a hard time putting your foot down in this situation.
You are the best judge of how your speakers and room translate. let them know that. If they are looking for a particular sound, YOU find it for them dont let them try. You are the one with the experience.
I would address that situation and if they don't like it they can walk. That is too much of a hassle to deal with.
