After three hours of cross fades, cutting pasting and a lot of coffee drinking we have a first edit of two tracks! I was surprised at how time consuming the editing process is but it will all be worth it in the end. A lot of the work was done over the past few days as I listened to all the takes on a multitude of CDs and marked in the good, the bad and the ugly bits. Its hard not to become incredibly picky about buzzes and squeaks as after hours and hours of listening hearing a buzz in the middle of a great passage is like being poked in the eye!

For all of you who can’t wait to hear the final product (maybe its just me…) I have included a little excerpt from the work we did today.  I hope you enjoy it!
