Who else started on a multi-track cassette or even older? I had a Yamaha MT2X back in the day (late 80's - early 90's) It had a built-in six-channel mixer, EQ, and effects send/return connections. I think I replaced the rubber band a couple of times before I got Cakewalk. When I was in the Air Force I used to record friends who wanted to make some demos of their stuff as well as my own things.

if anyone jumped in to the event and didnt get to hear the full song created, here's a link to check it out! https://s.disco.ac/tbjqkisvhtlx

Will Logic run on a 2013 iMac? I can get one cheap. Or should I bite the bullet and get a newer Mac?

After breaking through some insane imposter syndrome, I was able to finish my first track, "Monarch." Would love to share it with you all. Finishing up mastering this week, and would love any thoughts or feedback for final polish before I release.

Recently, I had a friend reach out to me and asked if I would Mix a song they tracked in their home studio. I agreed to help them out. I’m in this for fun, I am already financially stable so I never ask for money. It’s therapeutic to me. All was going good until the response from the band came to a holt. I knew something was off. Turns it there was another engineer providing his version of the mix as well. I was fired lol. I will say, his mix was FANTASTIC! The group made the right decision. I’d be lying if I said it didn’t hurt a bit, even though for me, it was for fun. When they gave me the news, they also told me that what I did to the arrangement was incredibly and that the other engineer didn’t have the creative aspect. I still landed there respect as a “producer” and they want me to help in that area. I learned that even though my weakness came through, I still had very good strengths. These are opportunities to improve and celebrate. Stay Mixing!
