Perfectionism through iteration. A tendency to remix, and repost, again and again until the song is just right.

definitely got a bad case of boskoschwartzitis here is the third take.

if we use it often enough it could end up in the oxford english dictionary

[Ted]

Obsessive perfectionism.  Squeezing more production value out of a microrecorder than is believed possible. 

Distinct from Boskoschwartzitis in that the song is beyond perfect when it debuts.

If the song is a game changer, and some people hate you for it, you might have gone AndyR.

I'm just going all AndyR dear, it will be ok in a few days, once done mastering.

Hmm ... should I be offended by this?   I would tend to say I'm more of an obsessed perfectionist than "chronically dissatisfied with my mix."  However, admittedly, the two go hand-in-hand.  Just seems like one has more of a negative connotation than another.   Anyone want to back me up, here?

Hmm ... should I be offended by this?  

Absolutely not!  I'm one of your many admirers here.  Yours is "perfectionism through iteration."  I'll update the definition.

However, maybe the glossary wasn't such a good idea if there's the potential for hurt feelings.

[Oldrottenhead]
