Teft’s Blog

YO! It’s been way too long since my last post … but, music business has been kicking up for Mimi & Teft. I’ve got very little free time to write. But, we had time for a tuneback! We did a twist this time around … we video taped it! I […]

Today is an exciting day for folks who shoot in the 35mm digital format. Canon announced today the new Mark 3 version of their pro 1Ds series cameras … a 21.1 mega pixel full frame 35mm digital camera!! And it’s retailing for $7,999 (not $22k like the medium format digitals!). Check out […]

So I decided to try out the demo of the new compressor by FabFilter called “Pro-C“. I’d imagine “C” stands for compressor. I’m a huge fan of the FabFilter products … Twin, Timeless, Volcano … there all great! But I’ve always thought of FabFilter tools as synths and funky effects. Not […]

To think, some of these trees were alive while Christ was on earth and while the pyramids were being built. Wow! Naturally, I brought my photo gear for some ancient forest photography.

Sounds fair … 28 pages of photoshop’ed images!!! […]

Last.FM has created a very cool social network around music. You discover new artists around other poeple’s music compatibility. If you listen to a lot of Daft Punk, then it will recommend what others have listened to after Daft Punk. How cool is that!? Then, they compile a chart based on […]

Why do we have to have an endless number of audio plugin formats? I can’t imagine being an audio developer today and having to support so many different formats and operating systems. You’ve got Windows, Mac, and now Linux for the OS’s, but the plugins are ridiculous. When Apple bought Logic, they […]
