At some point in my songwriting process I got tired of the pressure of trying to perform parts as I composed them.  Ever since I  was a kid I would hum and form musical parts with my mouth by vocalizing what, in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This post focuses on some of the basics of nearfield speaker placement, where and why and a little how.

It&#8217;s usually cheaper and more flexible to have raw connectors and cable than it is to have a ton of pre-made adaptors.  Tomorrow&#8217;s post I&#8217;ll go into how to make your own cables. 1/8 inch [...]]]></description>
