Now here's something Vergel did that I highly recommend -- nearly an hour talking with Mike Huckaby about the ins and outs of current-day track production and how to make the music you want rather than the presets the computer gives you . . . and beyond that the broad context of where digital music is taking us . . . a lot of insights from someone who really knows -- and has made the effort to move forward without losing track of where we have come from . . .
http://www.lx7.ca/podcasts/Lx7.ca-032-07-04-20-MusicTheoryAndTheSilentPlanet.mp3 Best quotes from Huck . . . "the 'Art of Dummies Making Music' is over -- from here on out there's going to be a lot more skilled people influencing all genres of music . . ." "This won't be a silent planet . . . there will always be a need to produce music."
