Last night was supposed to be my big study night I was well rested and ready to go and then…

My sister left me to baby sit a two year old which was pressure and then…
Then there was a power outage so you know where that went.

But I had a good nights sleep, which is always welcome.

So tonight I have to research analogue versus digital consoles it is gona be a lot of work to cover but I cannot wait to get cracking

Today was such a horrible day, Monday’s really do suck

I had lunch 2 hours late because of a stupid meeting that topped the day off for me lunch at 3 pm.

My company is entering into a trade show and I may have to work there on Thursday, I hate working late, So I dunno if I will be attending in light of that but the entire point of going to the show is to highlight my department, so u know. By the way this is the project that I am affiliated with, you know my sales pitch :

All I am thinking of right now is once I get to Wednesday the rest of the week will pass quickly and I have the weekend to catch up on my sleep.

Hello everyone! hope your having a fine week!

As some of you already know Northfork Recording Studio has been going through some major changes recently. We bought another complete house just to house the new studio. Contractors were 1 month behind schedule which has put me behind on my schedule. The new studio will be up and running and ready by the end of September of this year. For the rest of the month we will be dismantling the Old Studio and relocating to the New studio with some very unique equipment and programs. As an example my video display is a large 72″ wide screen, I’ve finally mastered the use of the Waves plug-ins which can enhance any music creation at the mastering stage. I’ve been licenced to use E-jay dance projects, Magix music Studio 10 and which I ‘ve just increased my samples library from 10,000 to 20,000 clips. These are samples to enhance country, rock, hip/hop, dance and many other genres of music. We are still ahead of the midi field with the new processors which will compliment the studio.

For the artists that are waiting to be recorded I sincely appoligize for the delay and any inconvience to you and the band. One project I will continue to work on though is Armand’s piano playing of 36 songs. This artist is very unique that at a young age of 75 has never taken a lesson. I recorded him live on the piano that he started to play on at the age of 10. He plays from memory and with feeling.

With the Studio we will continue to give courses in basic audio engineering which we started last year. This year we will introduce another course on the basics of recording with a computer. We’ve had many calls on this course and just waiting to get the right amount of persons on the right nights. Both courses are given starting from the nitty gritty. Both these courses are designed for the beginners. One must have some basic knowledge of Windows XP. These are also centered around the pentium based/windows platform computer. We haven’t developed the Mac based course because we haven’t had any interest even though Mac with G5 is good platfom if you were to use one. If interested in Mac we can refer you to someone to call.

We can’t wait to get things Rocking again so till then

Have a good month
