The camera lens metaphor really clicked for me, automation is totally about directing the narrative not correcting mistakes. I've been stuck treating every element like it needs equal volume for way too long when what the mix actually needed was intention. That blind point test is gonna be embarassing for my current tracks but necesssary, never thought about wheather the listener's attention is actually moving around.
The Blind Point Test is brutal because it's honest. I messed this one up countless times before the message finally landed. Education costs. But even if the fader only moves three times in the whole track, that's three moments of real focus you didn't have before. Let the silence speak as loud as the noise.
