WN04 Wales
📍 A Point on the Timeline Went cycling in Wales. We covered less distance in more time than originally planned. Turns out terrain makes a big difference! And the extra weight of a week’s supplies doesn’t help either. I used all the gears. And, it turns out sometimes you have to pedal when going downhill,…

WN03 Decomplicating Diet
This has been a liminal week. Nothing like messing with diet to bring you into the moment. Next week I’m travelling, so the update may look a bit different. 📯 From the World Vurt Fortunately, there are more good dreams than bad. It makes life worth living. But it’s the bad ones we remember, right?…

WN02 Take Notes not Reminders

Two channels, two mics and a rock band. What do I do?
You’ve got some new songs you want to share with the world. Maybe it’s just some friends for some feedback or to send around to get some gigs. You look around your rehearsal space. Drums, check. Guitar, bass, check. Recording equipment? All you’ve got is basic 2-in/2-out soundcard and a mic or two, maybe a…

What Does it Mean to “Trust your Ears”?
We’re all just trying to get the best mix we can, but sometimes it can be hard to tell whether we’re making things better or worse. Or even more disheartening; making a change one day and then playing at a friend’s or client’s and it sounding nothing like you expected. There are as many ways…
