What song are you?

I got bored and made a rubbish diagram of 'what song are you' based on whether or not someone felt happy or not It's crap and ugly and not funny but it was a laugh to make!

Cool piece of software called Speakerphone

This is made by Audio Ease and is a pretty wicked way of using effects. Obviously it has great potential in the film side of things but can also be used to great effect on audio. Apparently it, or something similar was used to get the robotic sound on Britney Spears' voice on recent songs. What, you thought that was her real voice? ; ) Check it out http://www.audioease.com/Pages/Speakerphone/speakerphone_themovie.html

Got to admit, it's getting better

FINALLY! It was sunny today AND yesterday! I've been saying for years that spring is my favourite time of year but this year I have been starting to change my mind - snow in March after the daffodils have been out for weeks and a load of rain & wind.

Hi Alex,
If you have minute or two than have a listen to my uploaded track.
Sung by Hadiqa Kiani from the album Rough Cut (Available on iTunes). I've mix "Living This Lie" and mastered both songs. "Living This Lie" has one tabla, one acoustic guitar and vocals. The idea was to make it sounding rough and commercial as well. They've recorded it live, one take and in some jam session location. No studio used at the recording stage. I've done my best to make it sound BIG and pleasant.
Hope you would like it !

Cheers,
