Hello there,

I hope everybody is going through the holidays frenzy with ease. As for me, I’ll be staying in NYC. Usually I go to spend Christmas to Buenos Aires (yes, it’s summer there!) but not this year. Oh well. I’m planning to do quite a bit of traveling, 2010! You hear me?

As you may already know, today I’d like to offer you some more thoughts and dig a bit deeper on the use of digital technology in my composition/production process. I’m glad some of you liked my previous entry, and since then I’ve been pondering more about the matter.

Hi all

I hope you are all fine and tautly waiting for Christmas Eve. I‘m sure after snowy days you will have some original Swiss Fondue with friends while chilling to downtempo music in your warm and snugly living room.

Hello gang,

Hope everyone is doing well. As the year (and decade!!!) closes and cold starts looming in NYC (brrrrr!) I thought I'd share some thoughts and music with you:

Um, Hello...? Anybody there?

So, I've finally started blogging. This is where you will hear about my music endeavors, raves and rants.

Pro Tools Basic Course (taught in english AND german) is a four-week running through Pro Tools that covers the basic of operating on a Digidesign Pro Tools System and starts in January 2010. The main issues contain tutorials, movies and downloadable exercise session files which can be opened in every Pro Tools version up to version 8.

You will learn

how to create a session and objects you need for recording and mixing
how you setup a Pro Tools System
the most important parts of the main windows
how to navigate through the Edit window

I love working in the studio and I have produced numerous albums etc. I've had my studio tan a few times. But live sound is what really excites and amazes me. Live performance can be pure magic as anyone who has ever seen a good show knows. It's a emotional and uplifting experience unlike anything else. Sound Engineers are very important to the process of live performance. Young engineers who are starting their careers need a thorough grounding in the conventional wisdom of the craft if they expect to advance in the industry.

This is a fantastic talk that I felt was worthy of re-publishing here, and also thanks to Jo for pointing

Been watching a fair few of these recently, I enjoy the conversation these things stimulate given that we are operating in a fast evolving industry.

I recently got interviewed for Mix Magazine, concerning SAEOnLine, and audio distance learning, some of which will be used in a November09 article. I thought I'd share it with you here now as it might be of use to understand some concepts.
