Mix Magazine interviews Richard King (and several others) about their recording techniques for brass and woodwind instruments. There's a quick quote from another McGill graduate Antonio Oliart on this page. . .< 11:28:22 PM  >Field Test: Apple Soundtrack Pro Audio Editor/Recorder Overall, Soundtrack Pro takes the concept of its predecessor light years ahead in terms of power, versatility and feature set. On my want list for the next version would be multitrack recording and track locking, but especially in view of how Soundtrack Pro integrates with and strengthens Final Cut Pro 5 and the entire Final Cut Studio Suite, this is one audio editor that, like a fine wine, will only mature and improve with age. Few other products provide so much for $299.
My friend Stephen Regoczei is stoking the fires of his new weblog. I never knew that Stephen was so great at pith: Terrorists are relatively harmless. They do very little damage when compared to other hazzards such as food poisoning, malaria, or car accidents. Looking at the damage that the inaction of the US Government caused in New Orleans after Katrina, I can not see why why we bother with, or even notice, so-called "terrorists" at all.

And it's certainly true that financial interests of the three collaborators - Apple, Motorola and Cingular - have hog-tied the Rokr in a lot of unnecessary ways. The phone would be so much better if it held more music, let you buy songs directly online and let you use songs as ring tones. [Via Tomalak's Realm] . .< 10:58:58 PM >Calling All Angels From today's Jane Siberry email newsletter: I just put Calling All Angels on my website for free. People have been contacting me recently wondering how the song could be sent out in a wider way in these difficult times. One person wanted to burn copies for relief workers. I said yes. Then I thought that feels so right. And better yet, if i also make it available as a free website download the gesture would be more Earth-loving with no plastic created. Then I thought, heck, why don't i just make everything free (that I have rights to). Something feels forced about withholding (music) until one gets something (money). People could pay what they want or not pay at all. That would be more authentic, pure. And probably bring more positivity to all. I think the music would be happier, too. Grab the MP3. It's a good song. [Via ruk.ca from peter rukavina] . .< 10:58:35 PM >CBC Unadorned In short, it is the CBC unadorned. And I like it. There's some significant irony here: I've only come to to truly appreciate how good Shelagh Rogers is when she's not actually there. But I think what I've really discovered is that if left to their own devices and free from management dictates to "pump up the promos to increase cross-promotional demographic shift balancing," CBC radio people just making good radio is pretty compelling all on its own. By the way, if you want to get a 100% unvarnished, no punches pulled locked out view from a well-spoken locked out CBC reporter, listen to this Winnipeg podcast -- about 5 minutes in there's a scathing commentary from Kirk Petrovich.
