I’ve recently had a request from a friend for some advice on recording some demo songs. I’ve spent quite a bit of time writing a response, so thought I wouldn’t waste it on just one person, so here it is for the world! You are probably going to do the recording and mixing on a …
I was thinking this morning that Its about time I wrote a new blog post… Over the past few years, when I have been in this place of wanting or needing to write training material or just a blog post with instruction, I have found myself very un-motivated.
