Wow!
What a manic 3 weeks this has been.
I’ve now finished my recording obligations here in Ventura, and have 2 days to kill before my flight home tomorrow night.
I’m sitting in my hotel room, where I’ve been slowly going crazy for the last week.
I don’t think I’ll ever do a 3 week trip again.
It’s just too long without Cath and Max, and I know they’ve been really feeling it, just like I have.
Don’t get me wrong, I love the States, but there’s only so long you want to be living out of a suitcase, eating at restaurants (or worse, take-out) for every meal, only so much of all that you can take.
I can’t wait to get home.
Not sure what I’m going to do today (Friday)…. certainly don’t want to be hanging around Ventura all day. Seen enough of this place in the 2 weeks I’ve been here!
If I had thought about it early enough yesterday, I’d have booked out of the hotel here and headed up to Big Sur, which sadly, we missed in November. I suppose I could head up there today, and drive back tomorrow.
Mmmmm, maybe.
Anyway, so that’s the state of play here in California.
I’ll be back in Sydney at 6am on Monday morning (local time), I’ll have 2 days to recover, and then on Wednesday, I’ll be back at MIX106.5 as one of their Commercial Producers.
Sunday is our 6th wedding anniversary and I’m going to miss it. I pretty much lose that whole day due to the vagaries of the International Date Line.
So, on Tuesday, I would imagine that Cath and I will go out somewhere nice for lunch.
Oh great, ANOTHER bloody restaurant!
   Some recent listener feedbackShutters Inc Firstly let me start with reference to something that Bruce had mentioned, I think in episode 137. You were quite concerned with the audio quality that you were able to present to listeners from the portable recorder used at Echuca, the audio on that episode was fine. I have recently dabbled with other podcasts, and have since canceled all of the downloads except Shutters Inc. Bruce the quality of the audio delivered by you leaves all others far behind, keep up the good work. Thanks for the great pod casts not only in the information passed on but also the technical quality. Mark Chapman Sine Language Bruce, I can only say, in my opinion, that the services you are providing are greatly appreciated. J. R. Building the pod I've only recently decided to get back into music production after a prolonged absence. So, when it came to choosing a DAW, it came down to a choice between FL Studio and Audition. Dollar wise, quite similar although FL Studio does offer more in the way of virtual instruments for this price range. But I chose Audition for two clear reasons. 1. I really like the look and feel. The layout is just easy on the eye and made sense to me very quickly. 2. I knew I had a great teacher. I discovered Building the Pod through the Adobe web site and soon found Sine Language. I have to thank you sincerely for your weekly tuition. It has turned a somewhat severe learning curve into managable bite size pieces. I simply can't overstate how thankful I am of your weekly podcasts. Bye for now. Ross Huntley |
