How to Celebrate 100 Posts? Roger McGuinn and a CS4 Tour in the Nordics
Hello, my friends! As the title suggests, this is officially my 100th post on the blog. And to celebrate my '100 random rants', uh, blogs, I've got some great content to share with you from Adobe TV, as well as tour information for next month...
Roger McGuinn on Adobe TV: You'll know Roger as the guitarist, singer, and founder of The Byrds. Listen to how Roger uses Adobe Audition 3 to make Grammy-nominated albums, and is constantly re-defining the future of folk music...
I first met Roger back in the Cool Edit days, and was actually fortunate and honored to be able to provide some one-on-one training for him in the *then beta* version of Cool Edit Pro 2.0 (and the first pre-release version of the Loopology Library). At that time, spring 2001, he was in the process of recording an album, which would eventually become a collection of spontaneously-recorded, live, raw albums known as Treasures from the Folk Den. One unique element of this multi-stylistic melange of roots music classics was that Roger had the revolutionary idea to capture the entire album direct-to-disk, sans tape, into Cool Edit (now Audition). An Alan Lomax-esque journey for the new Millennium. Check out this true legend and musical innovator at Adobe TV.
Photoshop Dream Girl, Part 2: In this (my favorite) episode, I talk about stylizing the overall track (both in stereo and mono) and creating (personally) the 50s doo-wop vocals that accompany Johnny Encore...all of them, from Hi to Low. ;) Ba-doom, buh-doom, ba-dum....
Be sure to check out new episodes from my fellow evangelist colleagues: 'Taming the Web' with Greg Rewis, Flash Downunder with Paul Burnett, and Cafe Fibonacci with Rufus Deuchler.
And last, but certainly not least...I've got a tour coming up...the CS4 Production Premium Nordic Tour :) As mentioned earlier, here are the dates and registration links for each country:
And lastly, a big thanks to everyone for reading! It's really been fun, and I appreciate your comments immensely. Here's a toast to the next 100! Prost!!
Until next time...
Blog on.

Nice going! I've been reading since you first started blogging after NAB '07 (I saw one of your presos and you mentioned it there).
Keep up the good work, and more tech tips please!

Thanks, Per! I can't wait to be back in Copenhagen...it should be a really great show, and I've worked up a very thorough agenda (showcasing some really cool, high-end production workflow stuff) that most have never seen before. Should be a lot of fun, and lots of info for sure. Take care, and see you soon. --JL

Very cool, a 100 posts. I say we celebrate that as soon as possible with pancakes! Can you believe, we've NEVER had pancakes together? It's a shame, really. ;)
Take care and keep on bloggin' and rockin'!
