Starting my journal
MJS
Well, I started this website! I didn't know how it was going to work out, but it seems pretty cool.
I'd like to write in it everyday, but I might slack off. This will be a cool way to keep track of things.
Already, I have a whole 12 years to tell, so let's get started!...

Life just can't get much better. Well... Let's not speak too soon, but man, life for the studio this past week has just been really, really awesome.
One of our clients recently decided to help us out by designing a logo and refreshing the look and feel of our website. His name is Jesse Crowley, and, well... He's just awes...

New Line 6 Spider IV 75 Amp!
AudioGuru
So, we've been considering how to best improve the studio in recent weeks, and have decided that our complete lack of guitar amplification needs to be taken care of. We looked at all sorts of amps and decided that one which could possibly provide the most diverse sounds would be a wise choice. We've recorded pretty much everything here ...

Conference Notes 4
PoeticIntensity
Even before the speakers begin, I've gotta note that the music played and sung during this conference has moved me just as much as the speakers' messages have. Simply superb. Maybe this is because music is playing a much bigger role than it ever has in my life now... The music and spirit it brings with it is simply sublime.

Conference Notes 3
PoeticIntensity
I love the feeling of Elder Uchtdorf's talk. We really have no basis upon which to judge each other. We need to accept and love each other. "Do unto others that which we would hope they would do unto us"
Seems like we need to actually do the work we need to do. Christ "did" the work, he didn't delegate ...

Conference Notes 1

The opening talk by President Monson was inspiring. I love how he talked about his wife, the stories of them meeting, and the fact that her parents were converted to the Gospel by his grandfather's brother. (I'm amazed he knew that, by looking at his photo!)...
Also.. When Pte. Monson said that the presidency loves all those of t...

Best Recording So Far

I had the opportunity yesterday to work with one of the most talented musicians I've ever met. It's somebody I've highly respected the past few years, and have wanted to work with ever since I heard him play. He's largely unknown, and has requested me om...

Helaman : 5

When I began reading this chapter, I was pretty anxious, internally - for unrelated reasons. Now, having finished this chapter, I feel very calm and peaceful. What a great story this chapter tells.
While reading, I saw some curious verses, but all of those questions feel relatively meaningless right now. The thing that matters t...

This entire week, so far, has been spent mixing, mastering, and nit-picking The Blue Aces' 4-song demo debut. I'm not at liberty to give many details (yet), but let me just say that this group has some of the most rocking tunes I've ever heard come out of a group like this.
More to come later! The demo should be finished by this weeke...

1st Nephi : 12 - Beautiful Yet Horrible

I had forgotten that in this chapter, Nephi sees the Lord descend from heaven to the people who would be born from Nephi.
I put myself in his situation, and quite honestly , I have no idea how I would react. It would be so supremely surreal - seeing your kids' kids' kids' kids, and then seeing the Savior of the world show himself unto them....

And as far as yesterday goes, I believe...
