The listening problem01 02 03
The tape decision is part of the listening ritual.
A badge is only the beginning
SBD, AUD, and MTX identify a source type. They do not settle which room sound or balance fits tonight.
A great identifier is hard to remember
The recording you loved can become a half-remembered string unless you favorite it, note it, or return through the show.
