Is There a Vision for a Mix?

When i start a mix, my vision is, what the frick am i doing? And how do i make this mess sound passable? And then i just claw at it. It's just a combination of skill and blind luck. If you get anything visual at all when you listen to music, god bless you. That's an alien experience for me. I love reactor for stuffli i am not good with building blocks, so my brain just works better by doing granular synthesis,. But usually somewhere in like, contact, within ableton live or just unable to. hen i have a multitude of crazy effects to add to it to do what i want to do.
