School Days Forever
There are days when I feel as if I've done very little except uncover more of my musical ignorance. And the strange part of that is, I mostly enjoy it...more stuff to learn!
The current episode in this series was initiated by a suggestion that one song for CD3 could benefit from the addition of horns. Since I have some nice horn samples among my digital toys, I looked into it and discovered that I didn't know: pitch ranges for various instruments, articulation options, or genre differences for tone and phrasing.
This is only one example; something similar happens with each new subject I touch on: arranging, production, sound design, mixing in general, specifics of individual mixing tools....
Luckily, YouTube is my friend, even if time isn't.
