Has this ever happened to you?
I just got motivated to make a new CD and banged out what I thought was a tight mix to pass around. Well my dumb ass forgot to double check the recording levels. When I was done I couldn't wait to listen to this thing to see if it was as good as I expected. Wrong! Distortion, crackles and too much noise. I am so pissed of right now. 80 MINUTES DOWN THE FUCKING DRAIN!
A word to the wise, check your recording levels before you press record.

thats totally happened to me before.....
it sucked too, 'cause about halfway through the mix i realized that i had tp pee lika mother, but decided to just stick it out since the mix was going so well.
by the last track i was hopping around lika mexican jumping bean....and all for not. :puppydog:
i got the brioght idea to swing my screens around so i could keep an eye on things.
might've been the smartest thing i've done since knocking a guy's teeth out for telling me to hit him so he could sue me.

I do that too D.
I have a stand alone writer (a pioneer joint). And I think the levels are ok until I get t3 tracks into the mix and check and the shit is just red all the way.
