Happiness

Well, I just read that "The happiest people don't have the best of everything, they just make the best of everything they have." imho, the most Happiest of people are the ones that seem to get everything they want and never have to make do. Nevertheless, getting everything you want may not always make you happy. Happiness ilIudes most of us sometimes, if only the state of happiness were as easy a conscious decision to be happy, then it would be very easy to just think yourself into a state of happiness whenever you like. From past observation, we as a society tend to treasure the things that don't come easy and unconsciously overlook the simple things in life. Happiness is relative and never constant. For example, a modern man wishing for fresh drinking water doesn't think twice about filling his glass with water from a tap - quenching his thirst doesn't make him happy, whilst this very same man stranded on a dessert safari would be over joyed just to get one bottle of water he needs to survive.

Physical stress ie. lack of rest/sleep, or mental stress, the inability to cope with a certain task, or when reality is far from your expectations can lead to being unhappy.

The solution is simple. Rest. Work. And Play in moderation. Balance is the key to achieving a happier life. They are two sides to every one, dark and light, good vs evil - which is why the most evilest of people can do the most heroic of deeds and the trusted most honorable of people can abuse and defile the most sacred of things. Next time you hang out with someone, observe if you bring out the worst or best in them? Are you the cause of someone unhappiness? or are you the source of someone's joy?

The Art of Music Compositions.

Super Producer Ron Rusell gives this tasty piece of advice:

"Don't get hung up on creating a masterpiece from the start, or you'll have difficulty coming up with fresh ideas. Most masterpieces are just highly polished creations based on very basic ideas, with a twist or two to make them interesting".

Beats on EBAY

http://www.ilbeats.com/music/


I found this crew selling beats on EBay, which seemed like a novel idea. Hmmm... Something worth looking into.

I wonder why not more people are trying to sell beats online.

We also have beats at Acoostic Zoo Productions, you can here them here under "Sounds"

Thought of the day. 2 Feb 2010

From The website of Crowley and Tripp, this philosophy kicks rocks awesomely true

"We believe that there will always be a demand for what is new and better, and that the right combination of technical expertise, artistic vision, dedication to excellence, and business ethics are ingredients for success."

logic wave burner saves folder problem.

The latest update for logic 8 to 9, corrupts wave burner's saving function rendering it useless to save your work.

Here's the problem.

when you save a project, it saves it as a folder.

to rectify this issue you need to open the waveburner application by right clicking it and select "show package contents"

Then go to folder ...WaveBurner.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj

Open the file infoPlist.strings and change the line
"WaveBurner 3 Document" = "WaveBurner 3 Document";
to
"WaveBurner 3 Document" = "wb3";

Save it and now you can read the .wb3 again.

Also, add the extension .wb3 to previously saved waveburner folders to reload them.

There's more info here.

Look at the Manley Reference GOLD shining through at Orange Lounge.

I thought this mic is gorgeous. Gorgeous enough to star in the Main page of Organge Lounge. The mic is a $5k tube condensor from Manley Labs, USA, named Manely Reference Gold.

so much mic if you know how to use it.
