DJ,
Sounds like growing pains to me. Just keep
your point of reference on the mixes. If you
give them a reasonable mix, good. =20

I sometimes do a serious mix on my own time to show=20
the unsuspecting client what they're missing. I sometimes=20
have to cut the rate so I can feel good about the final product. =20
It makes a difference for everyone involved. Eventually your
nitch will be all the same high quality mixes and clients will be
happy to pay for it.

Time saving steps are crucial in all of this too. Copying mixer
settings and macros are essential. Look for the easy
way so you're not repeating steps unnecessarily. Save plugin
presets that are commonly used and put a 0 in front of them
so they appear first in the list.

Hope somet

I was saying that it worked. I just couldn't vouch for anything beyond that,
as I had no personal experience with a pulsar card.
