ok

so I think you've got the bit down, where everytime you sit down you make something that is worth continuing and that is the most important aspect in producing/composing at all times.

You should be more aware of the highs and how they behave when compressed.
Particularly the attack transients 'coz they are 'pearcing'.
I've never figured that aspect out properly myself - but instead I've just got really comfortable with using the same lowpassfilter and the tone it's resonance has, so I can sort of recognise how it will sound before, if i lowpass the highs a bit.
It's obviously a tradeoff when you want a lot of definition in the highs, but I think we just assume we need a lot of definition there - reality is we only need to catch a bit of a transients' highend to realise where the sound is heading/comming from physically - so that atleast leaves room to experiment more than what the tradition of for example the loudness wars, and the way that sounds, suggests we should produce.
I have ear fatigue though, so I'm probably more sensitive than the average listener to that particular aspect. But I figured you responded positively to some of my tracks and in that aspect, its actually a concious effort on my part to 'put it all in a cave and cut the ceiling down'
Another thing, when we put something on the master and most of the sounds are quantised hard, it means that a lot of the sounds' transients will end up sitting right on top of each other and therefor cause for example compressors, to react to two sounds at once instead of just one properly. So you just move the attack of one of the sounds a tiny bit, like an increment tiny. And the compressor becomes gentle again. Hope this makes sence and helps a bit. Oh and lets do a track sometime

lol no offence but that was really confusing to read i get the part about quantising and compression though, i think maybe the compression on this tune could be done a bit better
sort of get what you said in the first half of the text but not sure what youre saying i did wrong/should change >.< also didnt get the cave analogy
but yes i will do a track with you sometime!

kai li there is dark and there is dark. if you had to reference what tracks would they be? id like to hear, my monitoring situation is a moving target as well.
