once something's done, i really can never go back. dunno what it is about that, but i just get bored. i'm sort of like that in general - love the new stuff but the old stuff is, well just old.

ppl say you can't polish a turd, well i believe you can in a strange type of way. i love mastering, it's a total artform - turning something shite into something, well kind of innovative and different. the shiteness of the original sort of means that you put less effort into the production and more into the spotiniety at that point. then bang on a load of eq and weird plugins when you come to listen to it again and make it rock.

i've never actually had this distortion prob before and i think it's cause i just didn't watch the recording level on the DAT. hmmm but usually DAT overdrive is actually quite nice. so perhaps this is when i went through that stage of recording directly into the PC. either way, if i can get round this, you'll be the first to know ;)
