Sound engineering, sound advice

Years ago a sound technician spoke words to me. 

No, he was not angry.  Just past that time.  When ears melt.  Or something to that effect.

He told me — "You have to give your ears a break.  After an hour or two of listening, you’re not sure what  you are hearing."

Tonight I’ve been mixing, mastering and generally trying to get some audio tracks cleaned up.  After about the twentieth time listening to the same song . . . you kind of lose the "edge".

So, I’m writing this as a break.

Today has been good to me.  I’ve got a great outline for a Sunday sermon.  I’ve arranged travel and accomodations for a conference in early June.  And Jill had a delicious supper.

Not bad.  Now, I have to go face the music!!
