Upgrading to Pro Tools 10 (can't go to 12 yet, it'd need new HDX cards) has been a laborious process of new hardware, software and Xanax. Major milestone tonight... almost there. :)

Still working on upgrading my system to PT 12 which means removing the Apogee AD/DA system and new server... this is awesome!! :(

George Martin, Producer and Arranger for The Beatles, Dies at 90

Amazing talent. RIP George.

The so-called ‘Fifth Beatle’ signed the band (then minus Ringo) in 1962 and introduced lavish arrangements into their songs.

Wow!

Going to build my own 1272... Neve, move over.

The best thing about the music business is the people you meet. Met a wonderful bloke Matt Steemson from the UK, session musician and diver (my two loves) working on the catamaran... thanks for the conversation Matt. Let's catch up in Australia. :) - Cheers Robert Iadanza. Glenn Eisenberg - When am I visiting you in Australia again?

I was excited when I received an e-mail with the following subject: SSL SALE - 40% off

I was pumped, but was soon confused then annoyed as it was Network Solution offering 40% off SSL Certificates.

Mixing a 77 minute live performance = fun. :)

1. If you want to earn money during your music career – get a day job.

2. If your songs are not connecting with people – dedicate all your free time to writing new ones.

3. If nobody is coming to your shows – do number 2 then dedicate all your free time to practicing with your band.

4. If nobody is buying your MP3 Downloads - don’t bother giving them away because people still won’t download them, instead concentrate on numbers 2 and 3.

5. If you worry that you look fat and old in your promo photo – lose some weight and invest in photoshop.

6. If you can't get the sound you want out of the amp you have – practice a s**t ton more until it does sound good – then get a new amp.

7. If still no one is coming to your shows – maybe your drummer sucks.

8. If your band is not the first thing that comes up when you google your band name – change your ****ing name.

9. If you already have your dream guitar and amp set up before your first show – sorry Rock and Roll is not for you. If you have to ask why – it’s definitely not for you.

10. If you think that anyone cares what your music means to you, they don’t – they only care what your music means to them.
