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...Music Video
One of the best projects I have done was my degree project for college. It was the final "big deal" in order to graduate. A lot of sweat, planning and hard work went into this project to make it great and also getting the best message across to our audience.

Can you learn songwriting?
Can you learn songwriting? Is it something that can be taught and developed, or people born with great songwriting skills? Most people believe that you need to be born with a talent to write good songs, and they think it's not something you can learn. But this is really just a misconception. And there are many reasons why people tend to believe in it.

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.
