By coincidence, your email popped into my inbox just now as I was making more tweaks/editing/polishing my latest episode. I'd already checked it over thoroughly, sent it off to a colleague to check, received his high approval, slept on it, uploaded it to the host and scheduled it, listened to it on their 'preview' page, spotted a couple of errors, returned to the daw to fix them, run it again, realised the music was now missing in two places, corrected again, listened again, found that one line (one word, actually) that was unclear on, and it was such a lovely gag I couldn't let it pass, so I trawled back through all of his takes till I found one that was clear, inserted it, it was still weird, realised it didn't have the ambience beneath it, fixed that, and was listening to it again while checking my email. No, it's never 'good enough' but eventually I will have to get on with something else. I used to be a proof reader for a publisher in a past life, and some things are never perfect. It's just not possible.

Flloyd, this is also my usual modus operandi, and it is EXHAUSTINGGGG.
