Does anybody just have a shitty time mixing and you just fucking blow up. The same thing as when you are driving and someone cuts you off, but for mixing vinyl. I'm trying to record a new mix and if I wasn't such a perfectionist then I would be done by now. I keep fucking up and in turn I pushed over my speaker which hit the wall, which then hit my lamp, which then broke along with the lightbulb and then smack on the floor. Sometimes I just wanna say FUCKIT!
sorry.. dont happen con mi...
i used to have that w/ video games a WAY WAY WAY long time ago,
but no more
why not after you f*ck up, play Duran Duran - Relax ??

I can see that happening with me when I get my long awaited decks... not that I'd start destroying my own stuff, but I can relate because I'm a perfectionist too. That's not to say I'm perfect... but I just need things to be right, you know?
It's something I need to get over, which I can't see happening for many years because it's a major part of who I am, who I was brought up to be. I struggle to write english essays all the time because it's such subjective work in comparison to simple "right or wrong" mathematics... I guess that makes me more of digital person lol as opposed to an analog/artistic/outgoing person, who I'm working on becoming. *sigh* good luck!

Do you think Tiesto, Ferry, Armin, and PVD got as good as they are by breaking shit? Something to think about...........

YES!
I just had a little shit-fit, today has been a rough day for me. Everything that happened today came out in my mixing!
when i am stressed from work, life, whatever.. i can always find comfort in my tables, in my vinyl even if i am not 100% on-beat that day

Yeah, i've had days like that. I don't usally get angry enough to push over the speakers though, i just yell and scream a lot, and then turn off the decks and go sulk and watch TV.
or, i put on a mix of oakenfold and listen to how bad he mixes and it makes me feel better
Hey, it happens to everyone.
Some days are just worthless when it comes to mixing.
The beatmatching might be a tad slow, you bring in the following tune
too early/late, you cut the old tune off to early/late and so on.
Happens once in a while.
I just dont break things, I just gets so incredible pissed that I
turn everything off and just act like a bitch for an hour, then im
a-okay.
Altho you should be an perfectionist, no matter in finishing
off things that you yourself aren't happy with.

this has been happening to me a lot lately...although i don't throw around my gear. My mixing has sucked,often enough its because i'm not in the mood,but i try to force myself and it just doesn't work. i've been kind of tired of mixing lately,although i still by vinyl. lately i've just been into listening to my tracks.

hahahaha...funny guy
Yea..sometimes you just don't feel it...when I suck I REALLY suck and get all pissed off at myself. Sometimes I just feel it inside me and I feel like a mixing god..lol
I try not to force myself to mix if I don't want to...that way when you mix you will enjoy it rather than criticizing yourself for every mistake.
It's all good man...we all have those days before...like today!!! I sucked ballzzzz
Just fuckn relax man.. take it easy.. remmber WHY you are mixing.. cause you love the music? righT????
WHo d man? lol....
You just need to work ur life around your mixing.. no one's saying that ur mixing ain't up to scractch.. you just need to calm down as you seem to be very tense man!!
with tense muscles comes shitty mixing!
