Time Wasters

It’s easy to waste time on silly things.

Yesterday, I spent a few hours trying to figure out why there’s a bad hum when my microphone is hooked up to a mixer. I worked to eliminate variables and track down the problem. Things led to the fact it might be the cable I was using.

This is where I went wrong.

Rather than just trying a new known good cable. I started down the path of trying to figure out what’s wrong with the current cable including re-soldering the connections.

I traded precious weekend hours to save $15 instead of buying a new cable.
