Can you Mix with a severe cold?

[MetallyGuitarded]

I'm pretty bad-off right now with a cold and I'm trying to keep my music going but every time I blow my nose my ears pop and it's like I just took out some earplugs. How in the heck do you guys cope with situations like that?

I'd expect to 'ballpark' the mix as well as possible - set levels right, make sure there's no clipping, maybe do some preliminaries in the stuff that lives in lows and midrange - and finish up later, but if you're on a deadline it might help to just have a friend come over and be a guinea pig.

I would stick with making songs/lyrics when sick. Needs less fixing afterwards. But as JBroll said: If it is a schedule matter, guess you have no choise to do it yourself or with a friend.

No. If sick, can't get the balance or anything right. So I'd stick with editing, cleaning up tracks, "administrative" stuff like that and take medecines...

Find it's like chasing my tail. Last time I got a severe cold my hearing actually changed permanently. My right ear is still somewhat fucked, over 6 months later. So always be careful to make sure you don't pick up an ear infection on the way.

First, you might want to learn how to play guitar. You freakin' loser!
