Email. Not Facebook. Not Twitter. Not Phone. Not IRL…
In this time of social media, we have a lot of ways to communicate with each other.
Each one can be considered a level, or a gate, with one requiring more of a person’s time, energy, and focus than another.
Admission to the higher levels of interaction requires that you first prove yourself on one or more of the lower levels. Read the rest of this entry »
I Don’t Want To Make Hit Records
As some of y’all know, I’ve been focusing on my music thing for around a year now.
I’ve been MAKING and recording music forever, already.. It’s just that with the new tools that are available, I decided I wanted to learn something new and get really good at mixing music.
I’ve done that now. I’m really, REALLY good at mixing. I know exactly what I’m doing. I’m about 1,000 times better at mixing than I was at video editing when I began my professional career by joining Diversion Pictures back in the day.

Mix Engineering 101
Here are the notes to my “Mix Engineering 101″ video:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mix_engineer => A mix engineer, also referred to as “mixing engineer”, is a person who, once all instruments, voices, and sounds, etc., have been recorded, creates what is called the final version (also known as “final mix” or “mixdown”) of a song, hence the term “mix engineer”.
He or she ‘blends’ or ‘mixes’ the elements of the recorded piece together, to achieve a good balance of the instrumental and vocal volume, as well their frequency contents, while also deciding other properties such as pan positioning, effects, and so on.

Drums
The drums come from Logic’s “Ultrabeat” drum machine that comes stock with Logic 9.. In fact, everything that I use in this video comes stock with Logic Express (I don’t need Logic Pro because I already own Final Cut Studio, which includes Soundtrack Pro). Read the rest of this entry »
