Well, as my signature says "perfection is not when there's nothing left to add but rather when there's nothing left to take away." For me this applies to many things in life. In my mixing (and neophyte song writing) when I've stripped out everything that seems superfluous I'm left either with what I feel is the best I can do --- or with something that has no soul...no core and needs to be tossed. Unfortunately I've stuck with too many that should probably have been tossed. It may be easier if like me you are writing from a causal, every now and then, non commercial perspective. I don't have the concern looming over me of what artists, producers, arrangers, etc might think of the effort. Dunno.
