Stationed in Fort Leonard Wood Missouri with my first wife Anita and my newly born son Adam, I was driving my green Ford Fairlane 500 towards the trailer park where we lived in St. Roberts.
Thoughts of recording and mixing were running through my mind.

For those that do not know what this is, a little explanation might be in order.
Wanderer Awakening is a two and a half hour musical consisting of 50 titles &#8211; twenty-five traditional &#8217;songs&#8217; and twenty-five narrations with [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When mixing speech, it is best to ensure intelligibility by using compression and EQ on the vocal.
This can be done using an EQ that is adjusted for a clearer sounding voice by increasing the gain at around 3k.
Generally, I like to filter the low frequencies of the microphone out of the signal by using a [...]]]></description>

		<itunes:summary>When I was younger (many years ago and more than likely before many of you were even born) I used to dream of being able to play all of the musical parts that I heard in my head onto some kind of mechanism that would play them back as I heard them.

[caption id="" align="alignright" width="330" caption="View looking out from my parents house in Missouri"][/caption]

I used to dream about doing this while I lived at my parents house in Missouri.

Sitting in my bedroom, I would listen to the sounds in my head and imagine them being playing all together at once.

It was a dream that would not be realized until many years later when my friend Gary Powell installed a complete MIDI studio in his home and invited me to use it.

Gary let me use his MIDI studio to compose and arrange the sounds that I heard in my head starting in 1986.  In fact, I recorded my very first complete MIDI CD at his studio and titled it "Family Portrait".  His generosity is something that I will always be grateful to him for.  Words cannot express what that experience did for me and my musical growth.

[caption id="" align="alignleft" width="330" caption="Electric LarryLand circa 1998"][/caption]

Armed with this knowledge about the capabilities of MIDI and bursting with a desire to own my own MIDI studio, I purchased tons of my own MIDI gear for my use here at Electric LarryLand.

It didn't take much for me to be inspired enough to write and record songs at my newly equipped MIDI capable studio.   I wrote many many tunes during those days.

In 1999, I was inspired to write a Christmas song entitled "Jingle Jangle".   The tune was loosely based on a style similar to Mannheim Steamroller.   However, it doesn't really sound like them at all.

I'll let you be the judge of what you think it sounds like.

Enjoy!

Most engineers will grab an EQ knob and start turning until it sounds right.  And there is nothing wrong with that approach.
Generally, an inexperienced engineer will &#8216;add&#8217; frequencies in an EQ device in order to make the track sound &#8216;brighter&#8217; or give it [...]]]></description>
