Very much enjoyed this post. I always am interested in the details of how work gets done, whether it’s the way to hold a knife when slicing meat vs bread, or a description of the many inputs needed to produce an album. In these troubled times, we need to claim what brings us satisfaction.

Thank you 🙏🏼

These kind of posts can get very technical very soon so hopefully I managed to keep it at a level approachable for everyone

Detailed and clear, not confusing. And interesting (to this geeky person, anyhow). 😁

I try to buy the actual CD where I can - not always easy in NZ, where freight from overseas sometimes costs more than the item. Fascinating explanation, thank you.

Oh yes I understand…it’s tricky with long distances. Thanks for the support

Thank you for this beautiful write up of a fascinating process. Many years ago I read Simon and Garfunkel took 100 studio hours on the song The Boxer. As it is a brilliant song, I think it was time well spent. Clearly your studio hours are also time very well spent.

Let’s say that I’ve spent some time with Paul Simon in the studio as a witness and it felt like 100 hours 🤐
