How many of you songwriters out there also produce and mix your own songs? If not, why? Would you consider learning how to mix songs in future? For me, I didn't start producing right away and picked up mixing years later but i've been writing for a long time (I had been paying someone to produce and mix for me before learning how to do it myself eventually). Reason why I didn't start learning how to properly use a DAW right away was because i tried and got too frustrated, so i stopped for awhile, got back into it, slowly got the hang of it. As for mixing, I didn't even care learning it, again i tried and thought it was too boring for me. Or maybe i just didn't have patience back then...:( It took me years to finally doing everything myself.
