I’m working on some great new content with new vision and direction. I’ll be posting once again on the website here as well as my new YouTube channel. I will post my YouTube videos as entries onto this site, but I’ll also be writing new articles. I’ve missed this SO much and I have some awesome new insights to share!
Fans show up to a show, performance, service, etc for the experience. The music, the lights, the atmosphere, it all comes together for what most describe as a "magical moment". For most, that's all they see. I remember some of the first concerts I ever went to. It was like magic.

Read MoreThe day has finally come.
For over four years the music industry has been eagerly awaiting the release of the next major version of Apple's pro audio editing platform - Logic Pro. The curtain has finally been pulled back and Logic Pro X is finally in our hands. I'm sure as the weeks and months progress there will be plenty of reviews, critiques, praises, and complaints about the new software. I'd like to add my small voice to the chorus and give an in-depth look at Logic Pro X from a mix engineer's perspective. With that in mind, let's dive in...
Read MoreI learned how to do recording, editing, live sound, etc through the school of hard knocks. I liked music, I was good with technology, and I got tossed in the deep end. One of the most valuable tools I've come to love over the years are articles. I'll pick up a magazine with a band on the cover just to look at the picture to try and glean a trick or two from the out of focus drum kit in the back of the picture.
