I cleaned out a bookcase and rediscovered some 45s from the early 80s that were given to me a while ago. Who remembers these?

The new standard is almost here. Will it change how producers and performers make music?
Brutal!
Since humanity has had music, we've also had bad music. And bad music can come from only one source: bad musicians.
Check out the sweet new single from Harsh Armadillo - Wrapped in Blue. Grateful to have been a part of it. You'll find it on all the streaming services. Go see them live too!
This is great!
Junior Producers Club, a Ball State music department program, brings music equipment to the Boys and Girls Club’s Buley Center.
The Grammy folks seem to be getting on the dark theme bandwagon with this year’s invite.
Definitely a pioneer!
During a recent master class, four-time Grammy Winner and Skywalker Sound director Leslie Ann Jones was impressed to find that nearly half of the University of Rochester students gathered were women.
Sad to hear this news. I was fortunate to meet Ed a couple of times. He was incredibly talented and a pleasure to work with.

... and then Amazon follows up with this.
“The Studio supports “HD” music, which is CD-quality lossless 16-bit 44.1kHz audio, and “Ultra HD,” which steps up to 24-bit and sample rates up to 192kHz. Amazon says its entire library of over 50 million songs is available in HD with the Amazon Music HD plan, and songs available in the Ultra HD format number “in the millions.”
It also plays 3D audio and Dolby Atmos.
Finally, an Echo with high-end sound.
It’s now becoming a more serious race to better quality music streaming.
RIP Tidal?

The new Mac Pros look pretty amazing (except for maybe the price tag), and it looks like Logic will now take advantage of it!
A new version of Logic Pro X, Apple’s professional music production software, takes advantage of the power and performance of the all-new Mac Pro.
Crazy but true....
It’s a crisis that has left, by some estimations, billions on the table unpaid to musicians
Excited to add a SPL #tubevitalizer 9530 to the studio. I have used these in previous studio lives and it’s been on my wish list for a while. Part EQ, part compressor, part magic - it has its own sound and is great in the right situation. #tubesrule

Tony was also a Virginia native and fellow Virginia Tech graduate whose band Earth to Andy toured with huge national acts in the 90s.
He eventually ended up in Nashville and then on the road as a touring guitarist with Train. He kept on writing and collaborating with others on tons of great projects.
So talented, Tony was taken away from us way too soon, but I am honored to have known him and to have been a part of this record.
Here's the culprit from my malfunctioning #cassette deck (#tascam122mkiii) - now back in working order. Plastic gears! It was only cracked at the time of removal, but quickly got worse.
I still get requests to save old audio by transferring cassettes to digital. Occasionally clients want to go the other way and actually create an old school #mixtape!
Enjoying the addition of this elysia #nvelope to my #audiomastering chain. It's proven to be super versatile and sounds great!

Great to see the World Health Organization and ITU publishing this standard on safe listening guidelines. Be careful with your listening levels, especially if you use earbuds!
Music lovers are set to benefit from a new ITU standard designed to ensure that their appreciation of music lasts for years to come.
Doing some updates to my Mytek 8X192 ADDA. New EEPROM with updated firmware, added a USB2 DIO card and gave it a good dusting.
Working and sounding great! This 8-channel converter has always been rock solid in my #audiomastering chain. 😄
#vinyl releases are trending up, and I definitely see more clients interested in targeting vinyl for their #audiomastering projects. Here’s a good article with some recent insights.

In 2018, the once-forgotten format feels closer to the mainstream than it has in decades.
There is a lot of great music on this record by a lot of talented people - and it's all for a good cause. Check it out!
To share in the excitement of these evenings’ 61st Annual Grammy Awards, the Macedonian Arts Council would like to share an exclusive preview of one of the songs from PARTINGS, the latest musical album produced by the Macedonian Arts Council.
Titled “May Be Damned Who First Started” , this song is a modern arrangement of the Macedonian Immigrant folk song: BOG DA BIE KOJ PRV POCHNA.
Here’s a really good article around the history of dynamics in popular music. Thankfully these days I find most artists lean toward more dynamic records.
If the Eagles or Marvin Gaye fan in your life is complaining about this year’s Grammy songs, this might be why.
Excited to add a SPL #tubevitalizer 9530 to the studio. I have used these in previous studio lives and it’s been on my wish list for a while. Part EQ, part compressor, part magic - it has its own sound and is great in the right situation.
