Episode 78 - The One True Mix
"So the statement in my personal truth and commitment, I am honest and speak only truth, was a gigantic thing for me. It was a choice, a declaration, that was a foundation of my one true mix as a life. So one non-negotiable element of my personal truth or the one true mix of my life is that I am honest and speak only truth and now, how I have worked on that and implemented that in my life". - Kellan Fluckiger

What you are about to learn
Mixing is like a recipe mixing is the process of adjusting all the equalization and levels of the kick drum sits in the mix. There's all this language about describing how it all fits together. And the one true mix has impact and power and sounds good, and the message of the song is portrayed as magical and on and on and on. So, studio myth and mythology is the one true mix. God will bless you when it is the right time.
There is no such thing as the one true mix or even wasn't in the studio. So the truth is that the one true mix was a construct that meant it was perfect; it couldn't be improved depending on the situation that isn't true. And that's why it's so important to decide ahead of time who you want to be. Who do you want to be as you walk through the world? Do you want to be a person who's involved in much volunteering, or that's active in the community? Do you want to travel? Who do you want to be as you walk through the world, and that will have a lot to determine what your one true mix, one true mix looks like. So the first point is there is no such thing as one true mix. It depends on the circumstance.
You might think I talk fast, but when I'm speaking with someone, and I'm saying something, I slow down and make sure that I am speaking the truth. And I do that for no other reason then so that I can keep this non-negotiable. In place and so, I've gone through creating the true mix of my life and made certain statements like that. I'm not trying to be two-faced or fool anybody, and I'm not trying to trick. Guile is a word that means, you know, get some devious end. It's I'm in it for me. I'm pretending I'm doing something for you. Now I'm not suggesting those should be part of your life statements or anything else, but I'm giving an idea of how I created my purpose statement and how I implement the approach of one true mix in my life.
How do you know when you are there? I declared specific characteristics in my behavior in my truth and commitment statement. And that has given me a foundation so that I know the one true mix when I'm getting closer because it lines up with those things that I've said, I want to be. Now I didn't get those things from a book. I used to do that in my years of depression. I lived everything according to what I thought somebody else wanted. All those things are half-hearted and not real. So I ended up doing anything that I was supposed to do and made choices about what I wanted and whom I decided.
There's only one right person, and that's God. And as you create your one true mix of a life as you create or shoot or move toward who you want to be listening to characteristics, making those declarations recommitting when you fall off as you inevitably will. And then more, most of all, taking responsibility.
Key Takeaways
“I am integrity and do what I see do what I say. And I am who I seem with no camouflage, duplicity, or Guile. That, to me, that is a kind of a long statement, but it was really important because I do what I say is only one piece I am my word. In other words, you can depend on my word. I am integrity and do what I say.”
“Getting there or closer to your one true mix or being the way you want to be equating one true mix in the studio the sound with you being or owning or having the life you want? Well, the first step is to declare what that is. It is continual, it used to be a surprise, and now it's just sad. If we don't know where over there is, it's hard to put together a strategic plan and activate the resources to get us moving in that direction. So the first step is for you to decide, and then declare who you are, what you want to be.”
“Declaring the direction like who you want to be. What are the characteristics you demand, be in your life is a foundation and a starting point. So you'll measure your one true mix. And the second half of that is to take responsibility than to create it as an engineer. I used gear, you know, we had all kinds of peripheral gear outboard equipment. You know, today they're computer plugins, but in those days, they were pieces of hardware in the racks and everything.”
