Evening Playback

I plugged the audio cable from my small field recorder into the compact desktop interface. The balcony track from earlier needed a clean listen. The low street rumble and metal hum filled my earphones with a smooth, continuous low end. Standing beside a brushed-metal volume knob nearly as tall as my waist, I rested one hand on its textured ridge and nudged it clockwise by two notches. The baseline deepened immediately without distorting. It has the right weight for a late-night beat.
