FabFilter’s New Compressor - Is It Worth $200?

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 […]

Making Beats with Guitar Amps

So you’ve got some guitar amps laying around that don’t get use anymore because your head is always in the computer building beats … use them for the beat creation process! Just like you’d use Amplitube or Trash, REAL guitar amps are the pinnacle of crunchified dirty sounds. And what takes dirty processing […]

Audio Plugin Format Madness!

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 […]

The Most Important Piece of Gear in the Studio

A lot of people ask me when they first get started in building a home studio “what do you recommend I buy?” It’s such a broad question! So many choices, options, and paths to walk down. Do you dance with Digidesign and the ProTools money pit? Or do you amalgamate a […]

Producing Reusable Loops With Logic Pro and Various Plugins

I remember when I first started out in music production not having a single clue how samples and loops were constructed. I was like “how do people produce these sounds?!” One the goals for this blog is to help people learn production techniques and to give away production material (loops, samples, kits, etc). […]

Shamanic Song Inspiration from Earth - This Old Heart

Recently, Judy (Mom) came back from a spiritual retreat. A lot of it focused on what messages mother Earth is giving to us (mankind). We had written this ambient track a while ago (last September) and shelved it because it didn’t fit the artistic vision of “Mimi & Teft”. When Judy got […]

Scoring Films Before And After Sequencers – AFI 100

I’m amazed at what composers have created for the silver screen in the past 100 years. Mimi and I just recently scored a short film (about 30min) in Logic Pro. Wow! It feels like technology is a blessing and a curse. Being able to hear the score instantly is amazing. […]
