Just deleted all the unused files from the master mix of the album – you know, all the unused ideas, fluffed takes, dubstep experiments that didn’t make the final cut… 22 gigabytes. TWENTY-TWO GIGABYTES!
Ten years ago I recorded an album on a computer with about 3GB of hard drive. Mind you, it wasn’t very good, but still – it would have taken eight of those computers to hold just the mistakes I made recording the new one.
