After a lot of really late nights working on the mixes for Dayenu, the guys are both feeling drained and numb. Listening to pieces of tracks hundreds and even thousands of times and tweaking them each time to try and get them to that illusive, "perfect" sound is mentally exhausting. It gets to the point that you lose perspective and aren't sure what you are even hearing anymore. It's hard enough to be objective when you're mixing your own music, but when the process has been going on for such a long time, it's necessary to step back, take a breath and put some distance between yourself and the project. This is part of the reason we're giving ourselves an extension on the deadline for completion. We want to be really satistfied with the end product, and that's not going to happen if we are feeling rushed, stressed and tired during the final push.
12 days and counting down; we're comfortable with that!
