First off… my apologies for the post title…. I just couldn’t be bothered with a more creative one.
As a voice over artist I’ve been behind the mic since 1996… before that I was a singer in a rock band (yes… its true since ’92) and about 95% of the time someone else was behind the mixing board recording (this is pre digital pre minidisc era so it was all on those big ass reels) when i left the band I went solo and when I went solo I discovered an application called Cool Edit Pro which gave you multi-track capabilities. Now you can imagine that I had the time of my life… writing and mixing my own songs… It was a learning curve… understanding sound dynamics and what the techies used to add to my voice to give it this or to my guitars to give it that.
Anyway times have changed and Cool Edit Pro was bought out by Adobe Systems of photoshop fame. And now technology and global online trends (namely podcasting) has helped provide the regular joe shmoe with the ability to produce a high quaity digital recording from the confines of his garage / room / home.

But then Fernando sent me a message that … more than anything made me less comfortable with the upgrades … and more apprehensive about what is to come. Read More
