A Blog Taking Shape

When I started this blog, I had a general idea of what I wanted to use it for - To keep record of my experience in audio production for myself, my friends, and anyone else interested in reading about one guy's particular career track in the audio industry. I really believe that radio, television, and film is a very exciting field to work in. Additionally, recording musicians in a professional studio can be a real thrill and leave the sound engineer with several interesting stories and anecdotes to tell. This also goes for live sound reinforcement - from small crappy bars, large stadiums, and full-scale music festivals - nearly every music event offers something worthwhile that a "sound guy" could blog about from a behind-the-scenes/production side of things.

My purpose for this blog is to educate and entertain readers about the world of audio. I'll write in such a fashion that it can be understood by individuals in this technical field, but also the layman. From my experience talking audio, people who aren't versed in audio terminology and "the way everything works" will typically not understand what I am trying to explain. Therefore, if I make each blog entry "universal" to the readers, it's more likely that anyone who reads it can understand it regardless of their level of experience. I can do this in the same fashion of most literature and textbooks. By leaving a symbol by a term or phrase that may be considered unfamiliar to the layman, I can reference this term or phrase at the end of that particular blog entry.

I suppose you could call this entry the preface to my blog. With more than 100 million blogs available out there, it's nice to provide a sort of explanation for my blog's purpose. I hope you enjoy my future entries. Please feel free to ask me any questions you may have about anything I blog about.

Have a nice day.

:)
