Shawn James: “Orpheus”

Shawn James: “Orpheus”:

Blues busking troubadour Shawn James turns to the Greeks on “Orpheus.” This is his take on the mythology of one who played lyre and had a voice no one could resist.

KCRW does it again. I have found dozens of artists thanks to shows like “Morning Becomes Eclectic”.

Each day I listen to the KCRW “Song of the Day” podcast. Today is one of the days I stopped what I was doing and went off the “the music store” to get an album.

Waveform Vertical Zoom x 8 — Logic Pro X keyboard command of the day

Logic Pro X keyboard command of the day. #LogicProX @StudioIntern1

  Waveform Vertical Zoom x 8

Normally I use the control buttons at the top of the tracks area — waveform, width, height. I would probably have a better experience if I used the keyboard commands to size the region and adjust the waveform size.

You can switch the waveform from its usual view to one that shows the structure of the recorded digital data. This view is useful when you are eliminating clicks and pops from your recordings, for example.

I’m not sure we should show people the “misguided” view of digital samples over time, but it is kind of interesting to look at it.
