HATE...

cannot even describe the strong feeling I have towards iphoto and garageband right now. While reworking my soundslide, I opened the audio interview I had in garageband, made it louder and combined it with the picture slide on iphoto. However, this time, for some reason I cannot explain, the interview was only 4 min. long when it had been 4:30 min long before. I seriously don't know what happened because everything is there in the interview and nothing is missing. Now the pictures on iphoto are all out of sync with what is being heard on the interview.

I have had so many problems using iphoto that I will make sure to spread the word to everyone not to use it!

I could not upload the video to youtube.com, Iswear I waited from 2 PM until 4PM and nothing! I'm gonna keep trying, but this is the best I could do for now.

Getting a bit antsy!

So I finished my soundslide last night and have ben trying to upload to youtube for the past hour and a half. It says it's still uploading. Two PM and class is at 7 30, to close for comfort.

Music for the people

Nowadays it is rare to see local bands interested in anything that is happening outside of their "quest for fame" vision. However, take a listen to some of Casa de Calacas' most popular songs and you will quickly hear the bands desire and interest in sending a message to all of their fans to become involved in social and moral affairs. These musicians are not only proud of being well known in East Los Angeles, but they are also proud of the rich culture that surrounds them...and they want to whole world to know that.

A Look Into my Creativeness Using Audio

Last year, my first audio production class project was to mix all sorts of sounds together (i.e music, ambience, random sounds, synthesizers, etc.) to create a piece. I chose to compose a piece which would include movie audio from two of my favorite movies, The Crow and The Butterfly Effect, weird synthesizer sounds, music by performing artists Metallica and Scorpions, and just about any other sounds that I felt mixed well with the piece. This particular track has no definite meaning or message, but I believe that in some subconscious manner, I might have portrayed what I was feeling at the time. I advise you listen to this with your eyes closed. Enjoy!
