Mentioned it yesterday, too, but I #cleaned all the #TapeMachines in the studio, selected the #tape I was going to use -- most notably, I broke the seal on a vintage reel of TDK Audua Reel-to-reel tape that I think is like worth $50+ sealed because, hey, why are you going to own a bunch of NOS reel-to-reel tape if you aren't going to use it to record the album tied to turning 50? (Incidentally, that's about how old that tape is.)

So yesterday I covered most of the #philosophical stuff, today I'll briefly cover the actual actions I took to get ready.
First, I #cleaned up the #studio. Obvious, but crucial. I know how cluttered and wrecked everything is by the time I am done recording an album, so I know to start clean and well organized. In process I discovered a few adapters and things missing and tracked them down so they'd be on hand when I needed them. See, #cleaning helps.
