I wanna learn how to mix & master so I can produce my own music…

Leave a comment

I want to learn how to mix and master on my own. You can do your own mixing and mastering on most DAW software these days. I wanna learn how to do it so I can produce my own music. I want to produce my own sound and vision of where I want my music to go. I’m not the best at producing but I want to get better at it and improve. I really want to learn how to do this. Produce my own music and make my songs sound really really good on my own.

Jimmy Page produced all of his own music mostly. The man was a genius in the studio and he knew what he was doing. He never went to school or anything to learn how to produce. He taught himself how to use the mixing console pretty much. I think he learned by watching others do it.

If I want to learn how to produce better… there are all kinds of instructional books on the internet on “mixing & mastering”. I’m about to look through all those and try to find a good book.

Best of all, I know someone who is really good with that stuff ’cause he went to college for “producing” music and got a degree in it so maybe I’ll pay him to teach me some basic stuff to start off with. Another option, there are tons of local studios around this area that offers courses on how to produce your own music but I’m sure their pricing rates would be sky high, though.

I wanna get better at audio recording. I know I just can’t record tracks and leave them right where they are. I know I got to improve the tracks and make them sound better.

I want to follow Jimmy Page’s footsteps and record and produce my own music like he did over the years. I’m gonna look into all of this sometime this year.

Libtards still attack my blog but that’s okay, I just delete their comments and ignore them…

Leave a comment

I always found it funny how libtards on the internet go around attacking conservative sites, blogs, facebooks, etc. Attacking those with anti-Obama and anti-liberal views. That’s just further proves the “intolerance” of liberals. That’s what they do… they go around picking on anti-Obama people and they do their best to try and defend liberal politics. When I see stuff like this, I look at this as libtards getting angry at the truth and it’s pissing them off. It isn’t because we’re “wrong” at all. They just can’t stand it that our opinion and thought is different than theirs.

Libtards attack my blog all the time and it’s not just my regular blog commenters. Liberals attack my blog every day and I just delete their comments and ignore them. When liberals try to challenge a debate with you, they don’t even debate. All they do is attack you and call you names most of the time. I can go back and post some of the nastiest attacks I got from liberals that are not my regular blog commenters. A lot of them swear and cuss like crazy. Call me names like racist, bigoted, sexist, misogynistic, etc. The usual stuff.

I used to be upset at liberal attacks but now I find them entertaining as hell and amusing. It lets me know that I’m saying the right things. I know how to drive liberals crazy ’cause it’s one thing I’m really good at. The reason I don’t reply to any of them is ’cause talking to a liberal or a libtard is like talking to a brick wall. They’ll never stop arguing no matter how right you think you are. That’s how crazy this “right vs. left” thing is getting. It’s why I avoid liberals like the plague these days. Liberals think they’re smart but they’re not. It’s easy to see that they are the most misinformed and dumb people you’ll ever see. They deserve that name “libtard”.

Hillary and Barack, desperate on taking away our guns… my thoughts…

Leave a comment

It’s pretty funny on how Hillary & Barack are obsessed with wanting to take our guns away. Yet Hillary has a large number of fully armed bodyguards that surrounds her everywhere she goes. The same with Barack Obama except he has fully armed Secret Service agents. Yep, it seems that “gun control” implies for everyone except for them. They refuse to protect other Americans but they are willing to protect themselves. If this doesn’t show you how egotistical Hillary and Barack both are then I don’t know what else to say.

If they’re desperate in getting rid of our guns then take away the guns of bodyguards and Secret Service Agents. Fair is fair, right?

Why blues music is really important to listen to…

Leave a comment

Blues music is still the most underappreciated genre. Not a lot of people listen to it anymore. I’ve listened to blues music all my life. It’s one of my favorite genres other than rock n’ roll and metal. A lot of people accuse blues guitarists of “noodling” but not really. What you can’t seem to remember is that blues music is the roots of all music. All the music that you listen to out there whether it’s rock n’ roll, metal, country or even pop music all of it is blues inspired.

As a matter of fact, metal is where it came from. Metal came from the blues. When Black Sabbath invented what they called back then “heavy metal”…Tony Iommi inspired the genre ’cause he listened to a lot of blues music. Tony’s playing was always pretty bluesy. Metal came from when Tony started Sabbath off as a blues band called Earth and he inspired that Sabbathy sound from Jethro Tull. Jethro Tull who is another bluesy influenced rock band.

It’s important to listen to blues music and I’m not just talking about Eric Clapton, SRV, Joe Bonamassa, Gary Clark Jr., and Hendrix. That stuff is great but forget that stuff. You want to listen to real blues like B.B. King, Albert King, Freddie King, Muddy Waters, Sonny Boy Williamson, Robert Johnson, T-Bone Walker, etc. The old stuff. Yeah, I think you get the deal now. I listened to all that stuff over the years of my life.

This could explain why my lead guitar playing always turns out so bluesy all the time. I would like to make rock and metal inspired guitar licks and leads but I can’t help it. My lead guitar playing always sounds pretty bluesy. I blame that on listening to too much Led Zeppelin and Hendrix probably. I also blame it on listening to other blues music.

When I first started playing guitar, I kind of wanted to learn how to be a blues guitarist. Been teaching myself blues guitar by learning from instructional books and trying to figure out leads by ear and stuff.

Someday I would honestly love to make a blues record and I will. In case you haven’t noticed a lot of my original songs I write is very blues inspired especially songs like “Evil Fred” and “Mr. Tough Guy”.

Blues music is important to listen to. It helps you learn where today’s music came from. It’ll help inspire you and blues will help you improve as a musician. Plus, blues is just badass music to listen to. I really wish blues music would get recognized more although, I do know that Joe Bonamassa, Gary Clark Jr. and John Mayer still try to keep blues music alive and well.

Will the Oscars this year be a repeat of “#OscarsSoWhite” backlash??? I’d say yes!!!

Leave a comment

You know very well that Idris Elba is gonna get snubbed for “Beasts of No Nation” and Michael B. Jordan will probably get snubbed for “Creed”. That way Al Sharpton, Obama and the media can call the Oscars racist. You can very well believe it’ll be the same thing this year. Since Chris Rock is hosting, he’s gonna make all kinds of jokes about it for sure.

It’ll be the same old shit. Continuing to keep the country divided is what’s going on.

We really gotta change the way people discuss politics, thanks to the libtard media!!!

Leave a comment

You can’t deny that the way people are discussing politics in this day and age under Obama is getting way out of hand. It’s gotten a lot worse. This whole “left vs. right” thing is getting worse. All this liberal bias and all this political correctness everywhere. It’s all gotta stop seriously but this is what Obama wants, though. He’s intentionally making it this way. He’s purposefully angering Americans. He wants the “right vs. left” to have an all-out war which is what he’s successful at.

We would have more intelligent and mature debates if the left would stop being “politically correct” on things. I would love to continue to have intelligent debates with liberals but when they disagree with you… all they wanna do is call you names like: racists, bigots, conspiracy theorist and whatever else they come up with these days. So this is why liberals deserve that name “libtard” for every reason.

The way people debate politics these days under Obama is undeniably horrible. The problem is that liberals are pretty one-sided people. I can’t stand it. People would accuse me of being one-sided but I’m not at all ’cause I don’t like George W. Bush either and I’m not a fan of the GOP as well.

Liberals treated me like a pile of garbage over the last 7 years under Obama and it’s just amazing, ya know?

I totally blame the mainstream media and the Obama admin. on all of this, though ’cause this is what they want. They want debates to get heated and controversial which is why they do what they do. It’s part of their goal in destroying America.

This is why we need Donald Trump in office so we can look at the world in a more honest direction. Time to put the PC Crowd to an end.

Why is it that you never hear Bill Clinton talk about women’s issues and problems???

I can’t wait to see Donald Trump battle it out with Hillary during the debates in the General Elections. Do you honestly believe that Hillary has what it takes to handle Donald Trump? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Yeah, just wait until Hillary goes face to face with Trump during the upcoming debates. I warn you that Donald Trump is gonna destroy Hillary hard. She’s gonna lose this election. If you think Hillary has what it takes to defeat Donald Trump, oh man, you’re so delusional.

When Trump goes face to face with her, he’s going bring up Bill’s past history of sexual assault with women and I can’t wait until he does. That’s gonna wreck Hillary right there.

I never see Bill Clinton bringing up women’s issue and this “War on Women” crap. Why do you never see Bill talking about this stuff? Is it because he knows it’ll make himself look like a hypocrite? Is this why Hillary is always talking about women’s issues instead of Bill?

I know dumb liberals are going off thinking that Hillary has what it takes to beat the Donald but no way. The Donald is gonna destroy this woman so hard that he’s gonna make her step-down. That’s how he’s gonna win. She’ll quit like the last time she ran for president.

Hey George R.R. Martin, take your time with “Winds of Winter” and make it great!

Leave a comment

People are still begging George R.R. Martin to release book 6 of the Game of Thrones book series titled, the “Winds of Winter”. Fans and critics are complaining that George is taking way too long.

http://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2016/01/george-rr-martin-no-winds-of-winter-before-season-6

Well I’d say, he should take as long as he takes! I give a lot of kudos to George for taking his time because maybe he wants the next book to be really good? I’ve read all the books so far and saw all the seasons of the TV show. Well, I still haven’t seen GOT “Season 5” yet which will come out on DVD/BluRay later this year.

I’m still a huge GOT fanatic and I can’t wait for the next book but I’m being patient. Other people should be patient too. Let him make it a really good one. He just wants to take his time with it.

The thing with writing books is writers don’t finish stories just because their fans want them to finish it. The story itself finishes on its own. It’s all up to the story on whether it wants to end or not. Just be patient and George will be done with the book whenever he’s ready to be done.

Will I ever buy an expensive guitar someday? Like a guitar that costs a thousand dollars or more???

Leave a comment

Yes, someday I would indeed. I would buy a guitar whether acoustic or electric that would cost a thousand dollars or more. Same with amplifiers. Someday I will make my dream come true and buy really expensive gear.

I’ve always wanted to get a Gibson Les Paul and a half Marshall stack. Someday, if I get lucky enough… I will make my dream come true and get that kind of gear. I also wanna get myself a Fender strat. I will one day graduate to more professional instruments and gear.

For now, I just stick with affordable equipment.

I do love buying guitars and other music gear. I do when I can. I wanna start a pedal collection at some point this year too. The first pedal I’ll get is a fuzz pedal ’cause I really want one of those.

On top of that, I’m planning on getting a new guitar very soon. Hopefully even this weekend ’cause I’m planning on buying a guitar that’s arounds the $200 – $300 price range. Gonna make monthly payments on it. When I get the new guitar and when I find one, I’ll post photos and videos. I’m just gonna get a regular acoustic. Not acoustic/electric this time. Just a regular acoustic without those built-in electronics.

I got new recording equipment and will soon be getting a new acoustic. When I get that new acoustic, I’ll start writing and recording again. My new home studio setup is just about complete.
