When you're writing a song or a beat, and in the process of repetition, you lose the original idea for the sound that you had, and it all starts to blur together, and you start nit picking
the fuck out of every
little thing, and your ears start to hurt, and you start to feel a little crazy. It's time to back away from the song for a little while to gain fresh
perspective.
Me: I've played this section of the song on repeat like 100 times
trying to get it juuuuust right man! I'm starting to get
producer ear!
Kent: Ok, time to
take a break and come back to it later with a fresh ear!
