Hey! What's the best piece of advice you've ever been given in regards mixing or production? Mine was 'Turn your faders down and your speakers up'.

Spend most of the mix at as low a volume as possible and take frequent breaks.

"never listen to production advices from random guys in the internet"
On a serious note: "treat your room and get good monitors". That was it (at least I hope so, cause I followed the second part of that advice myslef only few days ago
).

Use visualizers along with Your ears.
Watch your levels.
Louder isn’t better so learn about dynamic range.
If you like a creative result, then stick with it, don’t let other ppl convince you your sound isn’t right, especially on forums. It is your sound after all
Have fun, but also remember to keep working on making it better when it starts not being fun. Basically ..don’t give up
Keep learning lots

i suppose a little explanation is in order...
it was early on in my explorations as a professional engineer, i was still tweaking knobs like a safe cracker.
his point was, tweak that shit, if you go too far, then dial it back, going too far doesnt break anything, avoiding it by being over cautious can kill the energy in the room though.
