This thesis explores the mindset and motivations of music producers who mix their own music, focusing on the emotional attachment involved in the process. By examining the psychological effects of music on the human brain and recent history on the topic, the aim was to provide an overview of the mindset of those who handle both the songwriting and mixing by themselves.
The research is based on four interviews with industry professionals, literature on neuroscience related to music, and online articles about recording and mixing. Through these sources the goal was to understand how emotional attachment can benefit the mixing process for music producers.
The study aimed to uncover when mixing begins in the songwriting process, the motivations for producers to take on mixing, the potential benefits, and the influence of emotional attachment on completing a song independently. The research results in the conclusion that having an emotional attachment when mixing and producing music can be highly beneficial.
