The best thing an artist can do for themselves is be there during the mixing and mastering phase of their project. As an indie I wouldn't consider it any other way. I do however sympathize with the major label acts, they are stepping on someone else's toes when it comes to production, mixing, and mastering. There is a fine line of having that breathy , punchy sound, which can actually come from the proper use of compression, and having that everything squashed to the middle sound. I have seen engineers start their mix that way, only to have to go back and reopen the compression parameters because they have squeezed the life out of the music...JMO...Moker

"Just Plain Folks is like a plow. A plow is a tool that can be used to help feed thousands of hungry people. But there are two groups of people on the planet. One group of people realizes that for the plow to help feed people, they must actually USE the plow to prepare the field to grow the food to feed the people. The second group of people are the ones who stand and stare at the plow and wait for the food to drop out of it. Of course that group is much smaller because those people all eventually starve to death." –Brian Austin Whitney
