Finally I am marching to my own beat!

All of this gear I would record with but never figured out how to mixdown and have my songs ready to listen to except through the project file on my computer. 
Not that I am stupid I just never took enough time to read the manual. Always living a face paced life with work (yeech) being of paramount importance. So for years, 4 to be precise, I would put all the tracks down for a tune and never be able to properly share them. To explain would take a while but I will say that I found ways around my ignorance or maybe more accurate my stubornance and still had other peoples stuff put to cd. Never properly mixed but at least I had a signal go to disc.
If I used an analogy it would be like a painter never having a finished piece to show. He would go into a room and paint a masterpiece and the only place he could show others this great work would be in that room and the possibility of it being slightly to very different each time would be great.
This was depressing and made it so that I did not want to continue on with music, besides my songs suck, NOT. I thought about getting some instruction/training in regard to the recording software that I use.
 
Being an autodidact I shy away from this course of logical action and struggle on trying to figure it all out. Afterall there is so much more satisfaction being frustrated and blue than being informed by another person. This is not really true the stumbling block truly was that I had not found an economical way of getting instruction. This is not a common past time it isn't like you could go to your nieghbor and ask him as you might when needing to fix a leaky faucett. The other factor was the green, the herb, ganga, chron. I have been forced to give it up as I am immobile with my shattered foot! Add to that my aversion to day time TV and we have a great combo: sobriety and boredom.
I went into the PDF that has the manual for this program (the fucker has to be 6000000 pages long) and painstakingly went over each chapter looking for the info I needed.
Amazingly I found it!
The nugget of info that had kept me from full potential was mined from the page apon page of technical stuff that made up this manual. I could see myself with a grammy in hand and a hot smart brunette hanging off of me thinking I was a music god.
To be clear I have no such aspirations and really am not much into mythology of any sort.
No my goal is to be able to share these tunes with fellow musicians and more importantly my three daughters. After that it is all gravy.
When I figure out more of this technology (yes I will use the manuals provided) I will post a music video or two. This will bring me to the next very scary hurdle, giving public access to my creative fruit. Jezz that sounds perved but you probably know what I mean.

So I would like to thank not the academy but the folks at Adobe and the folks at Steinberg for creating the tools that allow me march to my own beat!

Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge

So I have safely arived in Ft Mac with few mishaps except navigating Edmonton which didn't go well because of the amount of road construction enroute. Beside that and a crappy burger for lunch things went smooth on the drive and I pulled into the parking lot right on time. Still a few things are not in place the major one being my financing. It seems that I owe the Government a chunk of cash and they are going to extract it from my student loan. This fact I missed when debating the viability of this venture. I had concluded that I would have to get a P/T job but my loan was going to take care of my school expenses. I have a shortfall of exactly $2129.58! YIKES! To add to the mix we have my Daughter doing her vows on the 18th of this month, I wonder if it can be afforded. I planned on getting new tires after I was sure of my money situation and at this time it looks as though I won't be there or won't be here. If I can't pay all of my rent then I will have to pack it in

On the road in India

Oh I have been watching nothing on the news lately. Not watching cable means I tend to become news deficient meaning that I don't cruise The Huffington Post as much as I used to because even my time on the internet has been parred down. But Today I caught the evening news and saw a report on the reaction to Prime minister Harper and his entourage having armoured vehicles shipped to India to use while in that country. How were they shipped? By C17 Transport. The cost is said to be $37,000 an hour to run one of these babies. I think it's probably cheaper to ship the three vehicles by sea but would take a much longer time and the crew and maintenance etc for the C17 would still be a cost but at least the PM wouldn't be using the resources of the Canadian public coffers. It is appalling to watch opposition parties run to the scrum and try to devour a frivolous point all of them squawking like Fort Mac Ravens over a Big Mac package lying on the roadside. Sure there is

So what is your big idea?

This was posted a while back and on my stats page it is always the most read.  This is becoming an exercise in learning what my stats counter is counting. Anyway I haven't read this post in some time and found it OK. Again an apology to those who have read it. I do want to see if the stat counter increases the page views of this post. Cheers Gord I feel very bad. I have not been posting and it weighs heavy in my heart. This is not because I am in the throes of LOVE or because I have a high profile job that takes up all of my time. No, this is the result of CABLE TV The hundreds of channels that I have at my disposal has become a millstone around my neck This brings me to a topic which I have tried to put down in print before but have found it too large a topic for this blogger. It is really two things which are related. One is the constant confusion in choice. By our western standards "choice" is at the top of our list of things that
