Ha



This should be good. Eddie Murphy has signed on to play the late great Richard Pryor in the biopic. Its being put all together by Directed by Bill Condon. It is well Known that Pryor was one of the biggest influences on Murphy's career, not everyone gets a chance to play somebody they idolize on the big screen. The film is set at a rumored 25 million budget.

Damn


It's a little late news but I'm glad the Chargers decided to franchise Darren Sproles. He adds a dynamic that helps the offense and special teams tremendously. I do want the Chargers to keep LT, he brings a leadership that the team will continue to need, it's hard to replace a leader. I see a running back getting drafted this year though.

Recording Tip 3#




One important thing to do when your mixing is reference. It's something simple that we can forget. When your mixing or writing one thing to do is reference it to something similar. You wanna have a big sound or bangin kicks, snares, ect... play your song and then compare it to a song you want it to sound like, find whats missing and be creative.

The End of the Album???

I really hope not. The future isn't so bright for what us as artist love putting together and fans once loved listening too. I guess we either brought it on ourselves as artist, because the industry only wanted singles and that's what we gave. It's been going on now for a long time but the Ipod has set in stone the new format of the album with the playlist and shuffle buttons and now there seems to be no need to create a great piece of work. There are still artist out there who care about the craft of putting something together cohesive, long lasting and brand new. But the art seems to be more based around the same subjects with weak efforts on everything but their single. Now its not even to say i don't enjoy some of the simple stuff we listen too now but when i pick up an album i really enjoy going thru the wolrd the artist has created for me. I guess i really enjoy when i get the best of both worlds of great songs with substance and some stuff that lets me forget about things for a minute.

Snub


A day before the Pro Bowl, i just can't help to think how sometimes systems are so messed up. You got Rivers who clearly was one of the best QB's in the NFL of 2009 season and was snubbed of the Pro Bowl. You got Brett Farve who had a good first half but really fell off the second half and was voted in. Now Rivers is hurt and was first alternate so he would've ended up going but clearly just like life most things end in a popularity contest.

Check the Technique


This is one book i could not put down. I read about all the albums i knew and was introduced to a grip i had no idea about. I really hope Brian Coleman does more of these books. It was ill reading about some of the beginnings of hip hop and the influences on the music we listen to today.

Recording Tip 2#


The EQ is something that can defenitley help a mix. When you have sounds in the mix that may be too heavy you can lighten them up. You'll want to take off way more than add and you never want to over eq, that can make things sound plastic, the key is to blend everything together. Vocals need to be pronounced in front of your mix. I find eq one of the most important things i use to blend my sounds together. It's always your call what needs to be eq'd but for those sounds that just seem to not sound smooth in the mix a little eq can help out most of the time. Anybody else got anything to add leave a comment.
