crap. i'm no good with timing and segues. so...you may be disappointed when it's my turn. at least the content will be good. i'm just not a perfectionist when it comes to this kind of thing...so my apologies ahead of time.

I think, in order to honor the spirit of the original mixtapes of our youth, that everyone should cut off either a bit of the intro or outro of the songs on their CD, and have a DJ talking over at least the beginning or end of a song or two.

So, would it be a bad thing if we give OUR mix out as Christmas presents as well?

Okay so yesterday I burned all my discs plus one for me and I listened to it on the way home from work yesterday and again on the way in this morning and came to one unavoidable fact: I had a song out of place. I really needed to drop it but didn't want to but I had to move it to improve its segue. Still not great but it's less clunky. I also re-did the start/stop times and did get the segues tighter by clipping off some silence here and there... and burned a new set of discs... ahh, much better. If I weren't so lazy I'd to the Audacity thing and get it to really flow but you poor suckers are going to have to rough it.

Now for the packaging. Hmm.

Okay it's official!

The iTunes Equalizer does not effect disc burning!

The disc that sounded bad on my computer sounded bad because of what I had my EQ set to. On my big stereo, the first disc I burned (with bad EQ turned on) sounds exactly the same as the disc burned with the EQ set to flat.

We can all go back to our regular lives now.

We were really sweating your CD adventure, Rose. *phew* I can breathe again.
