Reflects On Tracking Herbie Hancock's 'River' Album
Avatar Studios in New York City knew it had a special project on its
hands the minute that jazz legend Herbie Hancock walked through the door
to track an album for the Verve label called River: The Joni
Letters. The rest of the world would later find out how special that
project was, as the disc went on to receive the coveted Album of the
Year and Best Contemporary Jazz Album statues at the 50th Annual Grammy
Awards. MORE

DON'T
FORGET THE INSTRUMENTAL MIX
After you've completed your final mix on any music
project, mute the vocal channels and create an instrumental version. You
might not need it right now, but someday you may need instrumental
tracks for creating an extended dance mix, a karaoke release or as a
background theme for video/film/TV/games production. An instrumental mix
also provides some insurance in case the lead singer suddenly quits the
band or you want to use the tracks later as demos with a singer of the
opposite gender. Of course, those clever engineers who suggest a quick
instrumental mix will surely be appreciated for their resourceful
attitude, and over an entire album project, it only adds a couple hours
to the studio billing, which the studio owner will appreciate.

Blair's DVD
Watch: Lindsey Buckingham, Sans Mac; Jamming at Wetlands
Lindsey Buckingham: Live at the Bass Performance Hall
(Reprise)
It was Lindsey Buckingham who sold me on Fleetwood Mac back in the late
’70s. When that group became ubiquitous on the radio, I wasn’t sure
I liked them at first. Sure, they had some catchy tunes, and spacey
Stevie Nicks was a definitely a fox, but there was a part of me that
resisted their conscious commerciality (even though they didn’t sound
like anyone else). But then, mostly because as a member of the press I
got free tickets, I went and saw them play at the Cow Palace in San
Francisco on their Rumours tour, and I was completely blown away.
Far from being some commercial hit machine, this was a fiery, edgy,
completely idiosyncratic group of crazies…and no one seemed crazier
and more possessed than lead guitarist Lindsey Buckingham. (No, not even
Mick Fleetwood!) MORE.

Giving
“Wall of Sound” A New Meaning?
A Yorkshire, UK company says it has invented an
“invisible sound system” that can turn almost any surface into a
high-quality loudspeaker. The F-Drive from FeOnic is based on
"smart" material technology, a class of metals that is highly reactive
to magnetic fields. When the device is connected to a resonant surface,
it converts it into a powerful non-directional speaker. Learn more here.
Mix on the Radio!
This week, "The Whole Things Going Down" show on You Rock Radio this
week features Producer Paul Lani; next week they interview
Mix’s Albert Margolis about the state of the biz, technology
and playing music in today's environment. Check it out at
