Yet Another One of "Those" Weekends

Believe it or not, I've been fighting with "The Effects of Connection" mixes literally every night since first turning it in for mastering, now about two weeks ago.  It ended up that fixing the issue with the drum track in "Two Step" brought a whole 'nother slew of issues to light, and I've been working on those ever since.  I've now lost count of how many hours I've put into these mixes just since thinking they were "complete".

Having said that, I spent another fairly full day working them today and listening to tests, etc.  I finally got my head around what the actual issue was about two days ago and it didn't end up being at all what I thought it was.  I still can't explain it but it seems to be caused by sibilance, and this is very strange because I didn't think this particular track had any issues in that department.  It ends up that I learned something yet again the very painful way.

I'm hoping to turn in the new mixes either tomorrow night or Tuesday, at the very latest.  I simply have to be done with this, and by now I've exhausted every avenue I can so it's just going to be what it is.  It's one of those deals where I could spend the whole year tinkering with them and it just isn't bloody worth it.

I'm hoping to get back to other mixes tomorrow at long last.  Pretty much everything has been on the back burner since I've been in emergency mode.  Provided no more disasters occur, "The Effects of Connection" EP should finally be released by next weekend.  One can only hope.
