Processes

Callie makes fun of me for my seemingly eccentric attachment to processes....

But there's usually a method to my madness. Case in point:

I tend to burn bootlegs of various live music shows for friends who have been to those shows, or music fans at those shows who ask nicely.

And it tends to take a fair amount of time (i.e. moving from minidisc to digital, then laying in tracks, and then touching up the sound in some instances, though I try to do very little of that last, and then burning a master copy and listening for problems, and then burning all of the other copies).

Well, I skipped a step in that process for a recent show just now, and burned the copies without giving the master a good critical listen. Yep, as you might imagine, there was a problem on the opening track of both CDs (an artifact that I somehow introduced, but don't know HOW -- that part is a little troubling). So, there's about 10 unattractive coasters and an hour or so of time lost.

Stupid.

Processes matter. :)
