This gets pretty geeky, but I deserve to brag about this a little.

Okay, so as I keep mentioning, I'm in the process off trying to finish up a new album by Pennsic. Most of the songs on it were recorded at last Pennsic.

Those songs are presenting me with a rat's nest of challenges:
1) They're noisy, having been recorded in a noisy environment (The Beast & Boar)
2) My levels were not as high as they could have been, so boosting them now raises the noise floor as well.
3) The Minidisc recorder I was using was starting to malfunction. It occasionally put little hiccups in the recording (very very tiny, usually <3/1000ths of a second.) Tho, they may have just been the products of a live recording in a compressed medium. Doesn't matter. There are glitches and they are annoying and fixing them is annoying.

So I'm mostly overcoming the noise challenges and in one case, found an alternate recording from a different venue that was about as good.

But today I managed to find a particularly NASTY bug, and the battle was won, but I had to get really creative.

I'm proud of having done this, but annoyed that I had to.
