		<title>New Music About my Favorite Politician</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have been working on this cheeseball song about Presidential Candidate Senator Gravel for about two months and just finished it.
I think it&#8217;d be really fun to make a remix competition for it.  I could post the raw tracks on a site of my design for people to download and reuse.

		<description><![CDATA[You&#8217;ve probably noticed that I haven&#8217;t been posting here much lately.  I&#8217;m not dead!  I&#8217;ve kicked up my French horn practice schedule to 2-3 hours a day and have been working harder at trying to sell our house.  I don&#8217;t currently have the time to make daily posts, unfortunately.  I will post when I have [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Second Opinion of Friends and Colleagues</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This post is about sharing our work with other musicians, producers, and folks in-the-know that we trust to get a second opinion on things.
A couple of days ago I was sitting on my computer getting ready to do some work when a friend of mine from high school came online.  He&#8217;s been doing very well [...]]]></description>

		<title>How to Hum Your Way to Better Compositions</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This post focuses on the somewhat strange practice of humming to compose music.
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 effect, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This post focuses on an experiment with my new Focusrite Liquid Mix, with which I mixed and mastered a song of mine that was in need of polishing.
First of all, I will be out of town until the 19th&#8230; meaning that I won&#8217;t be making any posts here at TSB until then.  But, I thought [...]]]></description>

		<title>How to Group Tracks to Save DAW CPU</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This post focuses on how to group tracks to save CPU or DSP processing.
When I first started mixing using a computer, I would throw up inserts on everything.  Everything was processed independently.  As you might imagine, my mixes were insanely CPU intensive and hard to manage.  Soon I realized that many of the tracks were [...]]]></description>

		<title>Speaker Placement: Nearfield Monitors</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This post focuses on some of the basics of nearfield speaker placement, where and why and a little how.
It used to be that studios had huge wall-mounted speakers that required equally large rooms to work properly.  Commercial studios are carefully acoustically tweaked.  I won&#8217;t go into acoustic treatments here, but needless to say a properly [...]]]></description>

		<title>How to Create Depth in a Mix</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This post focuses on the topic of creating a sense of depth in mixes.
It&#8217;s not too hard to make things sound big.  It&#8217;s not too hard to make things sound wide.  But it is very hard to do both while also creating a sense of depth.  There are a myriad of tools available to the [...]]]></description>

		<title>How to Use Visual Audio Analyzers and Scopes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This post focuses on ways to use visual audio scopes to gain more understanding about what&#8217;s going on in your audio.
It&#8217;s important to state right off the bat that working with audio should primarily be an auditory experience.  In general people won&#8217;t be looking at visual representations of audio as much as they will be [...]]]></description>
