I won't lie. Sometimes it felt like more of a pain in the taint than seemed necessary. However, if you compare part one to part 9, you'll hear how much progress has been made. Getting better equipment helped, certainly, but there's more to it than just having a quality mic, especially if adding music. Yes, sound effects need improvement, though I think they'll come together in the future. Meanwhile, I have an album to finish -- Beerfinger's "Heart of the Machine" is on the horizon -- so I'll leave to listen to the thrilling conclusion to this strange noir tale. Thanks for listening, and enjoy!
