Be Ready To Listen

I live on a farm in South-Western Ontario, Canada with my wife, two sons, dog, and cat.  I have always had a love of music.  I love to listen for things in songs that I have not noticed before.  When I was young, I would tape the radio during the day so that I could hopefully get a recording of a song that I liked.  (On demand music did not exist).  I can remember the first time that I listened to a song on stereo speakers, Rock Rock (Till You Drop) by Def Leppard.  I was amazed at the rich, punchy, full stereo sound that I did not hear on my mom's rectangle shaped mono tape player.  (You know the one with the record button inside the play button that if you accidentally pushed, you would record over your music).

In todays world, it is now possible to submit songs directly to streaming services such as Spotify, Apple Music, & Deezer, just to name a few.  I have had these songs in my head for many years, each at different stages of development.  Through the use of music distribution services like Tunecore, and the availability of singer services such as StudioPros as well as recording software like Logic Pro X with plugins from Waves, Izotope, & Melodyne, the imagination is the limit.  I wish I had this technology available when I was a teenager.  There is only so much you can do with a 4 track tape recorder.

With YouTube, there are a lot of great teaching videos about recording, mixing, and mastering music from people such as Graham Cochrane from Recording Revolution, Rob Mayzes from Musician On A Mission, Jason Moss from Behind The Speakers, and Warren Huart from Produce Like A Pro.  Thank you for all your awesome videos.

I hope that you will enjoy these songs and they mean something special and unique to you.  I plan to continue to produce them as they come ready.
