I don't want to live to be 100...

Okay, I talk about this issue with people quite often, and in my opinion, adding quantity to my life w/o some guarantee for quality is just a waste of time.....last time I did one of those online tests, it told me I could expect to make 77 if I keep running every week. Great, no more ice cream if I want to make 80. But what if my knee goes out? What if my heart stops working? What if my brain goes at 75 and I spend 5 years torturing my family members by telling the same story over and over and over....no thanks. If you like this topic, read the story at the link and let me know what you think.....at least we don't have Altzheimers yet...

New School versus Old School CD's...

A very interesting story found online at Yahoo Tech and a little video to elaborate found here.

I plan to keep this in mind when I record in my studio, and let artists know for themselves before mix-down so I know what approach they prefer. I guess it's art versus volume, or maybe just a style issue. It does seem to be true that volume & distortion cover a multitude of sins....
