Apple Logic Pro /LogicExpress Discussion

AWESOME!  Thank you for the response and questions.  I fear that this
discussion may roam a little far from typical Logic subject matter, but
nobody ever posts to this list anyways, so hopefully nobody will be offended
by our conversation.

>Great. I don't see any MP3 samples on
>your site so I can't check it out.

There's tons of mp3s on my site.  There are entire albums of material free
to download.  To get samples of each song from the new "Jon's Candy" album,
please go here:

>Would you care to share some of the
>lessons you learned from the experience?

Sure.  Despite common audiophile practice, louder IS better.

Get yourself a PSP Vintage Warmer and rock on out!!!

Apply distortion to each drum track individually (as opposed to applying it
on a bus).

Stick other stuff in Space Designer other than reverb IR's...it makes for
some good sounds.

I've also found it helpful to watch DVDs of great movies while creating
music.  I have a portable DVD player that i sit on my controller keyboard.
I watch inspiring films (with the sound turned off of course) as i work.

Yes.  I am a fan of good comedy.  99% of the comedians working today are
disgraceful.  John Candy was pretty much the end of an era.  It was
originally recorded as an EP, but later lengthened to LP for the label
release.  Many of my previous albums contained special intro's by my
favorite comedians (Emo Philips, Brother Dave Gardner, Steve Martin,
etc...).

None of my music is family music.  And none of it is heart warming either.
That Disney stuff is evil.  Go listen to Elton John if you want that.
However, all of my recent material is extremely positive.  I worship heroes,
and make music that exemplifies my adoration.

Regarding "Negroes Only Breed (Positive Version) and hip hop music in
general, it is abysmal to the human spirit to regard tribalism, vandalism,
plagiarism, and nihilism as good.  Anyone who supports the destruction of
individuality, objective thought, and righteousness is certainly my enemy.
Therefore, "anyone who supports hip hop culture is certainly my enemy".

Regarding "Be the Power (Deathstalker Version)"....if you were into
underground fantasy films, you'd understand the homage here.  "Deathstalker"
is one of the greatest sword and sorcery movies ever made.

That's too bad that you don't understand.  Here are some links that will
help you:

http://www.jonzaremba.com/words/thesis.htm
This was the thesis to my old defunct site, Save the Universe.

http://www.jonzaremba.com/words/romantic.htm
This is my review of the Ayn Rand book "The Romantic Manifesto".

I am not a Christian or any other sort of mystic faith.  I am not a racist
or any other sort of tribalist.  And i haven't been in a fight since 4th
grade!

So how abouts buying a CD?  They're only $5 and they'll turn your frown
upside down!  I Guarantee it!  Just go to Lucky Unicorn at:

Thank you for the interest.  I sincerely mean this...

>tv with sound off is good too

The commercials would negatively influence my music.  I like DVDs because i
have complete control over what i'm watching.

>Isn't that true of elevator music and "hair band"
>rock too? Not very original.

Although i do not like either of those genres, i can not think of any
examples of tribalism, vandalism, plagiarism, or nihilism in such works.
Can you provide any examples?

As far as pop music goes, hip hop is certainly the most rotten thing we've
been subjected to yet.

Understood.  Thanks again for the interest.

Maybe, but we can't get to them because the links don't work.
