Mystery #1: Why, after months of solid service, does my preamp breakdown the very day I get $5,500 worth of world class microphones to try for a week.
This is not a mystery; this is Murphy's Law
Mystery #2: Why is the scratch vocal you didn't give a damn about, so you barely checked any levels, warmed up tubes, compressors, gain stage, etc. 50% of the time the keeper?
The corollary to this is the take you didn't give a damn about because you were using it to try to get levels.
Mystery #3 Why, when I go back to a mix to tweak a little, do I almost automatically hit save, before remembering I needed to save it as an alternate, because I might decide I like the mix the way it was, and as you all know, you can never get it back.
In my case it's just the way I roll. It's all about commitment. I never save alternates; I pick a road and start driving. It's worked for my marriage, so why not my music? The rear view mirror is for memories.
