Learning ProTools is not easier than learning DP in my experience. Digital Performer will give you much, much better MIDI control than ProTools. while giving you what I've found to be an equal flexibility in editing audio. Also, you won't get better-than-828 converters on an mBox. I was a MOTU user ...

Sorry for the confusion.... I'm not "signed..." I am self-employed making music for advertising (jingles), songs for special events, scoring for TV and radio, some general audio production, sound design and Foley... I even have some clients I do VO for. My point was that making a living by making mu...

You basically can slap 'employee' on your forehead once that happens. Yeah, how horrible... to be employed doing what you always dreamed of. Man, I hope that never happens to me... Oh, wait, it already did. For that recording, did you run your own mics, or did you create a submix off the FOH or the...

I think there is a perception that there is too much risk by just teaching the truth. Parents will get up in arms, teachers are gonna lose jobs, etc... But I don't think that ignorance automatically means that history will repeat itself. All this information is available to anyone using an internet...

America has never cared about history, save for a handful of Civil War buffs or the Lincoln freaks who have written 2,500 biographies of him. We care only for novelty, for what's next, for tomorrow, when the sun'll com up and it's only a day away. Also, you sneer at Hollywood as if we could trust so...

Slashdot seems to be the only source so far. My brush with not-quite-fame: I almost went to work for him back in 1979 or 1980 or so, when Lisa and I were first married... they were looking for a writer who could digest the geek version of D&D into something regular folks might understand and play. T...

1734 High Street, in the no-man's land bounded by Spring and Leesburg... you could probably spit from Deer Park and hit it. I got dragged in there by a collaborator who was an aficionado of dives... back in those days, we used to joke that we should give a writing credit to Jack Daniels. A&O, Shady ...

You've never been to the A&O? And sat in that one special front booth, and watched as the neon "Beer" sign gets projected through your glass like a camera lens, so a tiny, miniature "Beer" sign floats on your table? And you call yourselves hipsters. :D If attendance is poor at the MidCity Blues Jam,...

Mark Magdich of Brother sang a new project for me last week and just perfectly nailed that classic rock tone. His pitch and phrasing are dead nuts, and he's got rock swagger to spare. I haven't heard the band, but if the rest of them are as good as Mark, they must destroy all monsters. He tells me t...

The Western idea that Zen consists of passive detachment and a resulting freedom from both pain and passion is not only an impossible ideal, it's wrong. David Brazier's excellent book The Feeling Buddha does a fine job of explaining how Lisa and I have came to understand Zen in our practice, long be...
