Find Any File
If you have a mac and do any kind of work where lots of files and hard drives are involved, this application is a must have.
Vocal Health Products
Vocalists should check out these products by Superior Vocal Health. When preparing for the studio, learn how to properly warm up on a DAILY basis, maintain a healthy diet, and know your limits. When recording, STOP when you know you are running out of steam and pushing too hard. Another 10 minutes in the studio is not worth potentially damaging your voice.
Analog Factory and their killer samples!
Robert at Analog Factory really makes some amazing sounding stuff, and super affordable. Go listen to the demos. His Subbooom Kicks are FREAKISHLY good!
Thought I’d put the word out about some amazing stuff! Go buy it all!
The all powerful Transient Designer
I use the transient designer all the time…. kick drum (a LOT), snare drum, room mics, acoustic guitar, piano, clean electric guitars. It is a wonderful help. Check out this article that explains some of the different ways you can utilize this great tool
Tab To Transient (Pro Tools)
I use this function all the time when editing. So handy for copying drum samples, beat detecting, and looping, nudging, etc….

My friend Tim Davis, a session singer in LA, posted this video. Inspired me to go be a better musician and make more organic music. Check it out!
Switching waveform viewing modes
When Avid released Pro Tools 8, they did a total redesign of Pro Tools’ graphic interface. At that time I noticed that waveforms were being presented differently than previous versions. Last week I was at a friend’s studio and noticed that his waveforms looked different than mine. He didn’t know why. Well, this video explains it. Pro Tools will now allow you to change the way waveforms are viewed. There are several different view options, each with benefits for different applications. Check it out.
Studio Construction
Hello everyone. My wife and I are looking to purchase a home. We’re in the early stages. This process always gets me thinking about studio construction. I came across this article today and found it helpful. I thought I’d share it with you.
I hope you’re all blessed, enjoying the summer and making great music!
