		<title>Introduction to Wanderer Awakening Posts</title>
		<description><![CDATA[People have asked me to write some behind-the-scenes notes about some of the production techniques done on Wanderer Awakening.
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 - twenty-five traditional &#8217;songs&#8217; and twenty-five narrations with [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Importance of Intelligibility</title>
		<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>

		<title>Cut and Level Mixing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I received a question from Flash at Flashpoint Studios regarding the differences between adjusting levels in Nuendo.   
One way is to use the objects in the arrangement window and raise and lower them there&#8230; the other is to use the mixer and raise and lower the levels in the mixer.


First you see the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Merry Larry Christmas (Thanks for the Memories!)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[During the 2008 Christmas season, I offered my &#8220;Merry Larry Christmas&#8221; CD as a free download to everyone who was interested in downloading it.
Over 4000 copies of the CD were downloaded and given as presents to all those who enjoy traditional instrumental Christmas music.
The CD&#8217;s worth of instrumental MP3 files received numerous praises from the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Jingle Jangle Christmas</title>
		<description><![CDATA[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.
I used to dream [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cut That EQ!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[EQ is an essential part of mixing used in professional audio work.
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>

		<title>Background Vocals and Tracks</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It is not unusual to record 24 tracks of instruments when doing a typical pop song.
But it is unusual to record 24 additional tracks of just background vocals.  This is what was required for a song that I am currently working on.
In fact, there was so many tracks used on this song, that even [...]]]></description>

		<title>Transfer Progress</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The transfer from cassettes to computer is going very well.
I&#8217;m using an RME MultiFace audio interface to convert the audio into digital form and an older version of Samplitude to record the data onto my laptop computer.
It has come as a complete surprise to me as to how much data I actually have to transfer. [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Funkerater</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last Friday I played a gig with Karan Chavis at the Pebble Creek Country Club in Bryan Texas.
The gig was great and I met a bunch of great musicians whom I had never played with before.
After the gig, Karan told me she had a Christmas present for me but she had forgotten to bring it [...]]]></description>

		<title>Goodbye Nakamichi</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In 1990, when I had more money than common sense, I bought a top-of-the-line cassette deck from Nakamichi for around $1000.
Don&#8217;t get me wrong, it is a fantastic and great sounding cassette deck.  In fact, in critical listening tests more people could not tell the difference between masters and cassette copies on most common [...]]]></description>
