We are proud to present a feed from Home Studio Corner. Joe graciously allowed to republish his blog posts on our Ableton Site. He has a lot of wisdom to offer and discusses ideas that are peripheral but very important to Ableton. With Ableton comes editing and processing – the studio.
His particular lean is the home studio. Check it out and enjoy. His site is located at http://www.homestudiocorner.com/

Full article on Home Studio CornerHave you ever done ear training? If you studied music theory in college, you probably did. I remember my Theory II class with Dr. Linton.

Imagine a clueless, 17-year-old version of Joe, hunched over an old PC in his parent’s living room, playing guitar and singing into the skinny little diction microphone that came with my parent’s computer. You know the mic I’m talking about, right? It’s [...]
