Today I got an interesting email with some inspiring tips. The first three tips on the list were: 1. Don't Quit 2. Learn Constantly 3. Actually Do Stuff Uh... sounds almost like something I say. Almost... Some people will tell you to "Never say 'Never'... Well, don't listen to those people. Those people are stupid. (Some of you may have noticed I've mentioned this a time or two before... or three... or four...) Well, I say, "Never, Never, Never!" 1. Never Give Up! Most people don't succeed simply because they give up. Giving up is easy. Success isn't. If it were, everyone would be successful. So if you want to be successful, don't give up! Success isn't about the final result. Success is about making it to the next level. Never think you're not good enough to make it to the next level! 2. Never Stop Learning! Never think you're not smart enough to learn something new. I once thought I couldn't mix or master because I didn't have the right equipment, or didn't have enough education, and so on... I had to break past that barrier. You can too! Never think you're so smart there isn't anything else to learn. I've been writing, composing, recording, and producing for over 25 years and I'm still learning! There's always something new to learn. For example, sometimes I'll read or watch a tutorial on a topic I'm well versed in. And at first glance, I'm like, "Oh, I know this.." But then it becomes, "Oh, I know how to do this, but I didn't know why that worked until just now. Now I get it!" If I would have just stopped with "Oh, I know this," I still wouldn't know the why. A person who thinks they know everything is incapable of learning anything. That's why Know-It-Alls become Dumb-At-All! 3. Never Stop Practicing! The only way you can ever get better at something is to keep doing it. Michael Jordan didn't become a pro basketball player by binge-watching basketball on TV. He went out and played basketball! You're not going to get good at something just by binge-watching tutorials on your computer. You need to do the actual work and put what you're learning into practice!

We’re hosting a brand new free event next week called Produce-A-Thon. You’ll watch as we record and produce three tracks all from the same vocal. One rock, one R&B, one pop. Then we’ll mix and master one of the tracks live. You’ll follow along as a participant with prizes for the best tracks. It starts on Monday. You can get all the info and register for free here: Register for Produce-A-Thon (free 5-day virtual event) This is our biggest event yet. It’s gonna be super fun. Can’t wait! 💪 See you there, Rob -- RE: Time zones. Due to the fact that the US clocks go forward a couple weeks before they do in the UK and Europe, there could be some confusion. To confirm, the event will start on Monday March 11th at 10am Pacific Time // 1pm Eastern Time // 5pm UK Time // 6pm European Time.

Update: deadline extended to Saturday at 9am Eastern. Go get it! http://waves.alzt.net/zNGePG Thanks again to Waves for partnering with us for Fix-The-Mix this month.

I tried the link for the Wave plugin; updated my profile and selected the option to get the plugin and it said it was sent. That was 30 minutes ago and I still not have received anything.
