Today's reading was all about "Sound Recording Commandment" #5. Pretty simple this time, basically just make sure to use headphones. Monitor your levels with your eyes, but monitor your sounds with your ears. This one is pretty obvious, because how else would you know if your sounds are coming out good or not? Not until the edit, and that's way too late to realize that your soft breathing was actually being picked up by the mic the whole time.
Of course, I'm a little nervous to always wear headphones (particularly while recording a loud noise for instance), but where appropriate it's good to just ensure you're using them as often as possible.
