Well.

I was having engineering problems with my music, when it was being transferred from GarageBand into iTunes so I could burn it to CD.

Time after time, I would keep importing songs into iTunes, and finding out that it seemed to make no difference as to what I was doing in GarageBand to improve the sound -- everything was loud and flat once it reached iTunes.

Whenever I burned anything to CD, and imported it into John's computer where he would take a whack at making them all the same volume, he'd grunch about some cuts being too loud and others being too soft. I didn' t know what he was referring to since it all sounded the same level to me over on mine, in my version of iTunes.

My version of iTunes... with the preference setting that automagically adjusts the volumes of all the songs that are playing so that they are the same volume.

So, with heavy heart, I went and looked at my iTunes prefs.

And there it was. Sure enough, it had been twitted to play every cut at the same volume.

Which is why I couldn't engineer my work.

I turned off ALL the outgoing sound tweaks. Holy mackerel, this CD sounds so different now!

And this explains my burst of profanity to OBDave and to Thea at around half past midnight earlier this morning.

Ditto my terribly early time stamp.

But the problem is fixed, I hope.

Michael Flatley left the hospital under his own steam yesterday.

I think he's gone somewhere else to receive hospital-like treatment, but hopefully the tabloids will now leave him the heck alone.

If you're cutting it short due to an early day at the office today, let me say Happy Thanksgiving now while I have a chance.

Have a good Wednesday!
