A noisy melt in the garage made me rethink groove depth
My wife left a candle burning by the lathe while I was cutting a test lacquer, and the wick noise bled right through the feedback loop on the mic. That accidental rumble taught me to check the room's ambient sound before every cut, has anyone else had outside noise ruin a take?
A candle by the lathe is a bold move, one wrong pass and you've got wax in your grooves and a whole new sound. At least the take taught you something before it wrecked your ears. My neighbor's leaf blower has killed more cuts than my own mistakes ever have.
