This is cool.

I yahoo-ed "DREAMDAZE" and noticed a link to the Chicago Reader...which led me to an ad for Rhapsody which featured me.

I've just spent the last hour or so adding my latest CD, Titles Unconnected With Their Functional Use, to my home page in all the appropriate spots.

I've also added a photo and a video link from last Wednesday's show at the Muse Cafe.

Enjoy (or not)!

Here's a really good EQ article from Tweakheadz.

The key points are regarding "Making The Mix Sit Right":

1. Fix with panning. By moving things left or right you can cure many masking problems. But not all. You can't move the kick of bass or vocal too far from the center or the whole mix gets lopsided. But you can move rhythm guitars, synths and percussion way off center and it helps.

2. Fix with EQ. Bass removal from your tracks does wonders. At minimum put a low cut (high pass) filter on every track except the kick and bass (which get their own more extensive treatment).

3. Fix by dropping one instrument for part of the mix so both the mask and masked are not playing simultaneously.

4. Removing the track entirely.
