I totally agree. I don't do this "professionally" in terms of full time job. I am a weekend mixer. So I don't have no vast client list and don't have a room full of vintage gear.
I don't tell people my mixes will always go #1 on billboard. But when I am given decent tracks to work with I will deliver very good sounding mixes.
And because I love doing this I do the first mix free, and people can decide if they like my service later. Thats all.
I have the possibility to really work with heart on mixes I get. Money is a bonus.
I don't have to pump out mediocre mixes just to feed my family.
