Welcome To The First Day

at music, art or any of the creative endeavors is fun. If you have
to work (and just about everyone has to) you should consider an activity

Inside the Music Biz
by Frank Imani Jamal,
CORNBREAD PRODUCTIONS
Each year, like moths drawn to
a flame, many people, young and old, embark on a career in the
Music/Entertainment industry. Many, however, depart the industry just as
quickly as they entered as their dreams of stardom come crashing and
burning to the ground. Many give up their quest entirely and choose to
settle back into the "normal" life they dared to venture from, thereafter
always wondering what could have been. The surprising thing about this
scenario is that it doesn't always have to end this way. |

Bob Dennis
Completely understanding one term in
audio can make a night and day difference in your recording and
mixing ability. So why do recording texts make it so hard to
understand?
Adding Bass Clarity

The bass range of frequencies and
the "bass instruments" of kick drum and bass guitar give the
mixing engineer the most mixing challenges. How do we get a clear yet powerful
low-end in the mix and on our final master? In this article we will
find that bass clarity in mixing depends on several factors, including
how the instruments were recorded.
The Best Indicator In Audio
By Bob Dennis
The VU meter is almost
almost 65 years old and, like anything that age, probably has
limited years left in its existence. It's a shame, we'll miss the
old friend.

By Ken Lanyon
RECORDING WEBSITE

By Bob Dennis
