I especially like the 3 mix changes guideline. You present it so tactfully... 'so please listen carefully'. *laughs* Awesome. Des – That’s a good idea too.

With problem clients, I've also found it helpful to explicitly limit the number of mixes I'll do. Either with a number ("I'll give you 3 opportunities to request changes, so make sure you listen carefully") or a deadline ("you're out of my studio on Sunday at 6, and that's that".) There's a fine line between keeping a client happy, and jumping like a trained dog at every request they make. Great list Dan!
