		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m deep into the mixing of my band&#8217;s EP right now. I&#8217;m learning lots of new things, and putting lots of theories into practice. This is the biggest project I&#8217;ve ever mixed, in terms of both complexity and importance. Here are a few things I&#8217;ve learned:

		<description><![CDATA[My audio data drive crashed. I&#8217;m glad I have backups. I only lost about 8-10 hours of work. It could have been so much worse.
How long since your last backup?

		<description><![CDATA[I wasted way too much time in the last session trying to record a short snippet of guitar and make it into a loop to stretch out for several measures. In the end, I just sat down and played it like a pro &#8211; start to finish.

Good Grooves
There are plenty of great uses for loops [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been recording scratch tracks by dangling an SM-57 over the top of the amp. I know with a little tweaking I can do better, but dang, this sounds pretty good.

Of course, my guitar rig sounds good. Really good. So capturing it isn&#8217;t that hard. The best recordings start at the source.

&#8216;T&#8217; is the keyboard shortcut for the normal tool. &#8216;C&#8217; is the keyboard shortcut for the scissors. &#8216;Q&#8217; mutes the selected clip.
When working with track layers, it&#8217;s safe to &#8220;Remove Empty Layers&#8221; after deleting some clips. It won&#8217;t rearrange your clips like &#8220;Rebuild Layers&#8221; does.
Remember to turn off the air conditioner before recording vocals. Remember [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I downloaded the free Orca softsynth a while back, but never did anything with it. I don&#8217;t do a lot with MIDI or softsynths, but last night we were looking for a weird sound to add texture to a song and I remembered Orca.


It&#8217;s a monosynth, meaning it can&#8217;t play more than one note at [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I previously mentioned the trick of getting a guitar amp off the floor to minimize the early reflections the microphone &#8220;hears&#8221; and tighten up the bottom end. As I said in that article, it&#8217;s something to try but not a hard and fast rule.
I recently did two recordings of the same amp, same guitar, and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I recently purchased a pair of sound isolating earbuds for live use. At one of my guitar gigs, we have an in-ear monitor system and I wanted a nice pair of earbuds that would block out stage noise and let me hear the monitor system clearly. Then I had a brainstorm: why not use them [...]]]></description>
