You Never Stop Learning

As my album 'MIDNIGHT' is due for release very soon i've been trying to create my own website. Now i have to say i've never created a website before. However after a lot of thinking about how was going to achieve this i finally came up with an idea. I now have a website (which you can see here: www.lawmusic-online.co.uk ). This has been another learning curve. Another skill. All good experience.

As well as the website i've been looking at artwork. I remember a quote that i heard years ago "The artwork is just as important as the music".
I'll be honest there has be times when i've have come across an unknown artist & chose to listen to their music because i really like the artwork.
An example of artwork that i really liked from a band (that i had heard of before) was: "Deloused In The Comatorium"- THE MARS VOLTA. This artwork was designed by one of my favourite artists 'Storm Thorgerson' A very inspiring artist.
I will never be as good as Storm creating artwork. However i will try & learn different techniques to improve my artwork.

So whatever you do in life there will be times when you find a challenge in front of you. Do you give up? Or do you keep on? If you keep on you will learn something.

You never do stop learning

CUBASE & LOGIC PRO X- BYPASS ALL PLUGINS!

A few weeks ago someone posted in Facebook group about how to Bypass ALL plugins in Cubase 8.5. (As some of you may know i use Cubase 8.5 in the main studio). It's a lot quicker than turning off each individual plugin. Here's how to do this: CUBASE- Go to File Key Commands Mixer (Section) Bypass Inserts Type in box a key (e.g. B etc) Assign OK When you press that key all plugins should be bypassed on the mixer LOGIC PRO X- As far as i know at the moment you cannot just press one button/ key & turn all the plugins off simultaneously. You can row by row. Here's a quick video tutorial : Hope this helps Until next time Law Official Website LW Music Services Twitter Facebook (Law) Facebook (LW Music Services) Youtube Instagram Soundbetter
