... especially when you tweak a sound for a couple hours, you see the spectrum in SPAN and it seems normal but your sound lacks punch and bottom end - even though it is wiiideeeee ...

... and then you discover you left your soundcard main channels with left side phase inverted....

All of a sudden, punch and bass freq are back... sigh

I had to tell it, just to try having someone smile about my clumsiness.

You're lucky, at least you haven't punched a hole in your headphone drivers while trying to get the hair off of them...

(Funny thing is, the hole makes absolutely no difference in my perceived stereo image, yet...

That reminds me... don't ever stick the vacuum cleaner hose into a speaker cabinet's port (bass reflex) while the vacuum cleaner is running!

Still, they have budgets for that kind of thing, right?

I don't know how many times I've almost slammed my boomstand into my left monitor, consequences of having a bedroom studio...

Mario, that's what you get for having a soundcard that will actually do stuff like that!

My speakers are anything but suckers

...The bad thing would have been if only one of them sucked

Oh well I'm happy I can do this (RME Fireface UC btw); I guess sometimes it could be useful.

Totalmix is an awesome software, just like the hardare it works on
