a cold day in …louisville?

today i learned that louisville is pretty much as cold as chicago.
i also learned that i have a really freaking loud voice. in some places, we had to compress it by 25 db. holee crap that’s loud. that’s like as loud as a pick-up truck.

i’m taking a break from mixing right now, actually. listening to your voice played over and over and over and over and over can make your stomach turn and your eyes twitch. the repetitiveness is bad enough, but being subjected to all the imperfections and mistakes - man. i’m just worn out. and we’re only through one song. we’ve still got four to go.

and people wonder why musicians are crazy.
