A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
直
Straight
If time is money, it seems moral to save time, above all one's own, and such parsimony is excused by consideration for others. One is straight-forward.
如果时间就是金钱,那么节约时间似乎是合乎道德的,尤其是节省自己的时间,而为他人着想可以为这种节俭开脱。一个是直接的。

I'm very lazy when it comes to making the original sound. I don't go through amplifiers and different compressors and signal parts. I just grab something, whether its an old guitar or a children's toy that happens to be lying around, and record it straight into the computer.
