A good habit to get into.

Agreed! On stage, we make sure to turn off the displays during playbacks to keep everyone focused on the big screen to watch the show, not the waveforms.

There’s this awesome button that I make sure to use when making a final pass on any system that I mix on: the power button on the computer’s LCDs. Watch the story, not the waveforms, it will tell you far more about your mix than any timeline.
