Great insight, Herb. When I get to the first "I think I am done cooking" place, I listen on my Wharfedale monitors, on my Logitech computer speakers in another smaller room, on a Samsung soundbar in the living room, in my car from a thumb drive, on a laptop, through headphones, and again through the Wharfedales with my back turned 180 degrees. I make notes, and tweak level and a touch of EQ on the vocal track, and do it all again. THEN, when I am happy with the sound across the board, I dump it all to wav files and it waits for me to finish the rest of the songs and then they all go over to my mixing engineer pal, who won some kind of award in Ohio for his work and is really outstanding. He knows EQ and compression WAY better than I do, particularly in the area of where to use it. I find spending time on playing with compression and such as a distraction and a waste of my time because his ear is better than mine, and his bank of knowledge in the field is far deeper.

So yeah, I listen in a lot of different forums. I am going to buy that book. I know who Mike Senior is and have heard him speak on various web shows. I always wanted to ask him if he has a son named Mike. Mike Senior junior.
