Continuing with the BBC "no more than one hour of music per day" thread on Bryce's show: If you live, as I do, on the West Coast of the USA, you can take in a lot of music without violating the BBC's strictures. BBC headquarters are in London, eight hours ahead of California. Begin listening for one hour at 4:00 p.m. PST. It is the next day in London. Then begin listening again at the 11:00 p.m. hour in California. After one hour, it's midnight. Continue listening for another hour. At 4:00 p.m. later that day, start again.

Thanks, Dean. Although several years younger, Philo's hearing is certainly not as sharp as mine. Probably because I don't use headphones to the extent he has even if listening to more music daily than he.

  3:45pm
Dean:

Yeah, kat, my gripe on Bryce's board was that the story was not about music per se, but headphones and ear buds. I can't tolerate either for too long. The damage to my hearing will probably always be due to that last Zeke show I attended.
Avatar 3:46pm
kat330:

@Dean: Well, I have to use 'phones when I'm recording, but I'm careful to take breaks, and bigger breaks between projects as well.
  3:47pm
Samuel:

I got the tinnitus so bad I have to punch my own head from time to time just to recalibrate it. It works, but I have big knots and sore areas.
  3:49pm
Dean:

Recording is a different story. While I imagine, were I an engineer, I would prefer playback through a well-designed system with loudspeaker monitors, I have to admit that one of my favorite producer/engineers, Marc Aubort (who worked extensively with Joanna Nickrenz) mixed with 'phones. I was shocked to read it, but there you are.
Avatar 3:51pm
kat330:

I mix both with and not. But when I'm recording a harmony track to a vocal I've done, or adding instrument parts, etc., I have no choice but to use the phones.
  3:54pm
Dean:

Multitracking is another issue. Marc Rusch, who engineers recordings on the CIMP label, solves the issue by using two microphones and introducing no overdubs. Rather, he solves the issue by recording only live acoustic sets. CIMP's are among the best consistently wonderful recordings I know. I wonder if he uses headphones?
Avatar 3:55pm
kat330:

Ha, my guess is he's doing this in a studio rather than his living room.

Lucky you on the west coast, btw.

Well, I like practicing my math skills. You know: 333+333, 665+1, 47+12+321+286, etc. Moreover, I'm now afraid that if the Prince of Darkness tickles my eyeballs with the captcha, he'll have me by the you-know-what if I login. Also, my avatar is stupid. It's Malevich's White on White.
