If it you're happy with the sound then the next time he critiques, ask him directly how he'd solve it and move on.
If he's your boss, then he'll want you to solve it and keep moving. If he is the client, then get a reference track. If he is a colleague, ask yourself what their motivation is and move on from there.
Also, it sounds like you're doing a lot of processing. In the future if you're relying heavily on saturating individual drums, you might want to run that effect in parallel so that the clean image is retained as other instruments are added. |
no one is critiquing the mix at this point actually...maybe I rambled a bit...My point is that once you get something GOOD (whether it takes 5 mins or 3 hours)...leave it be. We seem to have a tendancy as engineers to want to make something "better"....sometimes it's already as good as it is going to get.
