How Far We've Come
AudioGuru
Okay... So ABS mixed a song from a band I was in called EnZign a couple of years ago, and the song hasn't been touched since. Well, I opened it up about a week ago, and found it a bit grating on my ears. Here, take a listen and tell me what you think of that snare drum. Talk about piercing.
Anyway... We decided to se...

Alma : 40
PoeticIntensity
I just realized that it's been a month since I last wrote about the Book of Mormon. Man, if I'm gonna finish this thing, I'm gonna have to pick up the pace!
First thing I noticed with this chapter is that when Alma got the revelation concerning the spirit world, it seems that he was just asking a curious question, "What happens to the ...

Mustang GT vs. Camaro vs. GT500

Last Saturday, I woke up much earlier than I should have in order to go down and help my good friend Scott wash his cars, in preparation for his selling them.
After washing his other two cars, we decided to wash my car, and to be honest, I was a bit skeptical as to how this "great new car washing" system would work. Well... ...

Although I've got quite good at it, I've been in web development for too long. My passion has always been in music, and it's about time I did something about it.
Knowing that I need to keep my family safe, and having been bitten some by risky endeavors, I'm taking baby steps at first, but it's now official.

They're Here!
AudioGuru
Well, yesterday the studio received a new addition. We're now employing a much more powerful and dynamic 8-channel Octopre preamp! This will allow us to record much more dynamic sources. The initial impression I get from this new device is that it, of course, is much, much more powerful. It also seems to record with a bit mo...

When I originally mixed a tune from Sugar Stone, I didn't have enough time to really nail it. I did a good enough job for the time allotted, but when the product was delivered, I thought there could be a lot of improvements made.
So, I decided to spend a few hours today seeing what I could do about it. Before I go any further, here's...

3 Nephi : 20
PoeticIntensity
So, in Gospel Doctrine, from time to time, we talk about praying, and how we're supposed to pray all the time, and then we get the comments that it's impossible to "pray" all the time, and then someone else says that we need to be praying "always" in our hearts. That's true, and verse 1 of this chapter is Jesus' commandmen...

2nd Nephi : 23

All I gotta say about this chapter is man, I do not want to be on the wrong side of things when the 2nd coming of Christ is ushered in.
Verses like 16 and 18 really hit home on what we're in for.
I can only assume the destruction of Babylon can be typed as a metaphor for what is coming when Christ comes again....

I've been reading the scriptures a bit lately, and I came upon a verse which intrigued me. That verse quickly made me think of this one, and this one. Let's not forget this one - that's a good one, too - verse 33 being the focus.

In verse 10, Mormon notes the intent with which Aml...
