This blog is more just a reminder to myself that I need to read this article about mastering. I'm really wanting to learn more about editing, remixing and mastering.......like what's the difference between the three? I want to learn how and when to apply effects to a song.....especially panning in a song with a techno beat. I think that sounds so cool. Like a week or so ago I remixed the school song from Howard Payne University using two different recordings: one for the vocals and one for the band. It was hard to hear the harmonies over Dr. Bottoms and I want to know if there's a way to isolate the harmony parts and enhance them. I have sooooo much to learn in this area. But it's exciting.

Meanwhile, I keep churning away at slideshows. I just finished the wedding last night that I've been working on since March. I'm pleased with it. The only problem now is figuring out how to record a video onto a DVD. It's not quite as simple as burning a CD. The first program I used kept getting an error every time I would try to burn a DVD which is a shame because I had an awesome title menu set up and everything. My goal for today is to find a DVD burning software that will allow me to burn a video DVD with a title menu that can be played on a regular DVD player......not just on your computer. Guess I better quit writing and get on to my research in finding the right software program. I have quite a few so surely ONE of them will do what I want it to do.

Ahhh.....I just found another tutorial I need to read.....this one about mixing using reverb in Ableton. Just what I need.
