"I believe a different engineer should master than the one who mixed a project whenever possible. "

Great advice.
I have learned that if I mix it, I send it to someone else to master. End result is much different and usually better that way. A mixing engineer becomes too intimate with each part, mastering engineer will look at it as a whole..
Having that impartial ear at the end makes a difference


I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome
