Casual Listening
Posted on | June 19, 2009 | No Comments
It’s a great moment when I get to listen to the reference disc, just before I give it to a client for approval. I get to hear — slightly more objectively — what I’ve worked on, and can reflect on what decisions let to this point. I’m doing that right now, as I (OMG!) type this blog entry.
There’s a minor secret revealed: sometimes I find it helpful to slightly “tune out” as I listen to the reference disc. Up to that point, I’ve spent a lot of time listening very intently to songs and, after I’ve made my penultimate decisions for processing, it’s helpful to listen back a bit more casually.
