Knowing vs. Not Knowing
Just from my time working live sound at my church, and after taking a training course on audio sound. I have learned just how different it is between people that know what they are doing and those that don't fully understand. Those that do not fully understand how to mix live sound, you can hear an obvious difference the how everything sounds. Often times, they change settings when they don't fully know how to use or what it does, it changes the sound dramatically. Before I learned I only changed the basic things. I did not change anything I did not understand what or how they worked. After going through the training and learning what those things did, that's when I started to use them. I know what to listen for.

Should I Collaborate?
Should you collaborate with a co-writer or write your song by yourself? Collaboration can be good or not so good, depending on you, your partner and how you handle the arrangement. The biggest thing to realize about collaboration is that when you write a song with a partner, you will be connected to that person for the rest of your life. It is like if you have a child with someone, whether you like them (or still like them) or not. Any decisions to be made about the song will require the input of both of you. So, if either of you move, change your phone number or email, the other partner must be informed of the change. Forever (explanation will follow). Because of this reality, it is clear to see why it is simply easier and less complicated to write your song by yourself. But let’s examine some points to consider about collaboration.

How to Make the Most Out of Your Study Time. Second Place in Brain Power Playlist Challenge.
In today’s world, hustle is encouraged, and ”working hard” is taken to an extreme. Every day, people are overextending themselves. Working three jobs, taking twenty credit hours. We all share a running joke of not sleeping and guzzling coffee to get more work done. We crouch over our laptops, phones, tablets, or documents, exerting all of our effort to meet deadlines. Now that we're confined to our homes, it seems more challenging than ever to get motivated and stay focused.

Where's The Music?
Whether we realize it or not, music has always been a strong point in our daily lives. We could be listening to the radio in the car, listening to music at work, and not really realize that it's an important aspect to our daily routine. Music has a way of releasing emotions within us, or even has a way of calming us down. Music was also a fun activity that we could engage in, with symphony concerts, music concerts, or just a simple karaoke night at the bar.
