So I just got a call from the publisher of the Warbler newsletter who wanted to give me advice about software. So I kind of had to calm down and take that call. He's firmly in the Adobe camp, which is interesting to hear. I don't really have a clue what I'm doing in this field, so it's just fine to hear what people are using and why they like it ( Read more... )

I was going to a new torrent site when I started getting a bunch of nasty pop-ups and redirects. Just as I was deciding... um...

Nothing much was coming of it and the couple of times something started to, I'd hitch on some clumsiness of fingers, like always. Stopped before I really started ( Read more... )

The main character of "Texhnolyze" is SO familiar to me. His face, his hair, the hooded sweatshirt, even the style he's drawn in, and it's especially strong at certain angles and in certain shots. I am trying to figure out where I've seen either this character, or some other character extremely similar to this one, before. Not placing it yet ( Read more... )

Ok, I just searched a little bit online and found two studios relatively nearby that have some digital recording equipment. Emailed each of them asking if they have access to machines compatible with the ones my song was recorded on, that I get the transfer done of the tracks to my last song that I started in LA ( Read more... )

Another crash. Not the same kind of blue-screen crash as last time, but still. Closing some programs and there it went ( Read more... )
