Wed, 21 Mar 2012 22:35:10 +0000

Music is a big part of many people’s lives, whether it is digital, computer audio or live. It is for this reason that so many different ways for listening to it have sprung up in recent years, from portable music players to online collections where people can purchase the latest releases for download. The US launch of Spotify has reinforced the idea that a transition is taking place, from music ownership to digital access.

“It’s a new life for me”~ When I hear this song I reflect on the irreversible things that I’ve done in my life. Wisdom tells me not to dwell upon the things that I can’t change, but we all know from time to time there are things that remind us of our past mistakes or failures.

My Thoughts: Jay Z & Kanye West Made in America Ft Frank Ocean Lyrics + Ringtone Download

This song is so uplifting. As I listen to this song I appreciate the opportunity that I have as an African American to make it in America. I’m optimistic about what some complain about. There are those that view the daily obstacles that they are faced with as adversity..then there are people who view the obstacles as opportunities to succeed. This track is evidence that anyone can do whatever they apply themselves to do. If Kanye can make it as a back packer who’s to say that you can’t achieve your goal!

Cubase 5 New Feature (Vari Audio)

I was browsing around Youtube a while ago when I ran across this new feature included in Cubase 5. As you can see in the video, this pitch corrector can turn an American Idol reject into Chris Brown instantly…..ok maybe I’m exaggerating but you should definitely be able to see the benefits that this quick and easy pitch shifter can offer to your production game! This is one of the many reasons that I’ve decided to upgrade from Cubase 3 to Cubase 5.
