The Role of Compassion in Music Mixing

In this episode of the Mixing Music Podcast, Dee Kei and Lu dive into the concept of declinism—the cognitive bias that makes us believe things are getting worse, even when they aren’t. They explore how this mindset manifests in the music industry, from nostalgia-driven skepticism to resisting new trends and technologies. More importantly, they break down practical ways to stay open-minded, adapt to industry shifts, and ensure long-term creative and professional growth. Tune in to learn how to fight the illusion of decline and keep evolving!
