Well ya know - I really like your music and it’s fun to work with. So - great of you to share your stems. Thanks.

Valid point(s), duly noted.

I like how you said edit it down a bit more as if in anticipation of my response - “but it is edited down”.

My instinct is to edit more. I like to file down sharp edges and try to maintain an even surface - and that’s been how I’ve approached every collaboration we’ve done.
But here’s the funny thing - if you and I were more alike I would very likely have no interest in doing any work together, because what would the point be of doing that?

So. Don’t duly note any points. Because what would the point be of doing that?

Isn’t duly noted what people say when they mean ‘yeah I hear ya, not necessarily gonna make any difference’?

Hah. Very true. That’s not _my_ definition, but yes I’m told that’s how it works. Similar to how “correct me if I’m wrong” _always_ means “don’t even think about disagreeing with me”.

Hey that makes two of my mixes in a row that your observations/interpretations of struck me as particularly viable. Thanks for listening.
