Limitless EnvironmentThe digital environment is virtually limitless for the number of tracks you can have. Stay focusedon what the song actually needs. Spend time creating and tweaking the perfect sounds ratherthan adding layer upon layer. This will also help you create a balanced mix in the later stages ofproduction.Going back a few decades an audio engineer was limited to the number of channels on theirmixing console. They’d often be limited to less than 40 in total. This set up required a lot moreconsideration as to how to use the channels in the most effective way. Any excess was removedand the focus was on doing the song justice. The engineer also wasn't using plugins. They willhave had a limited amount of analogue EQs and various other outboard gear. So they would havesparingly used their limited equipment to get the best result for the music. This contrasts heavilywith whats available today. Powerful plugins with endless capabilities that have such low CPU thateach channel have many instances. It’s common for producers to aimlessly add plugins and spenda long time tweaking and going around in circles. Don’t be a busy fool. Be sure that you’refocused within your DAWs limitless environment, and make each step count towards the final goalof finishing your track.
