Thank you. She is actually doing very well now, thankfully.

As for not posting, I recall a phrase I and others would use quite often in my engineering career.

Don't let perfection get in the way of good enough.

What this meant to us is that imperfect designers were designing to imperfect requirements using imperfect procedures and imperfect materials. And these products would be purchased and used by imperfect customers. This was not an excuse to do the absolute minimum but it did recognize that perfection is not achievable.


That's some very good perspective. I have never heard of it put that way, so really great to think of.

I'd guess that all of us would like to compose, perform and post the perfect song but for me anyway, I realize that will never happen; and I have peace with that fact.

Just do your best and ask for constructive comments. And if the comments that come in make sense to you, update your work accordingly and learn from the experience.


That's pretty much the path I'm trying out. smile I haven't before and couldn't tell you why. Post. Get feedback. Adjust and learn. Post again.

For me it's not only about "reaching a destination"; it's also about enjoying the journey of learning, creating and sharing.

I typically do that in most areas of my life. Mixing was something I just never enjoyed. I get it can be very creative but the majority of it to me was just very technical. I now realize, even with some pretty basic knowledge I would be much happier with the sound of my songs.

I appreciate the response very much!
