Re: Re: Remix?

[Jim Goodin <jimgoodinmusic@gmail.com>]

On http://ImprovFriday.com we do a lot of 'mashing' which is in the remix camp though it's technique of layer different tracks together leaves possibly more to chance than calculated remix though there can be uncalculated remix I would think.

 

I co-produced a recent release of mashed work on my net label with 4 other mash producers from the community.  ImprovFriday - Mash Blue is freely available on Bandcamp at http://woodandwiremusic.bandcamp.com/.

I rarely have access to audio editing software, but when I do, it's Studio Recorder from APH
(www.aph.org). APH is the American Printing House for the Blind. I'm one of very few blind
loopers, but SR sure makes studio stuff easy. It can't do everything, though. I could jump on
ol' Audacity for a while!
