No more earl grey either.... Please welcome AHMAD - English tea No. 1. By drinking this liquid substance i'm sipmly going against all the values of mine... What does it say about a person's condition? You know, I'm also going against my values by missing so many days of writing in the journal. It can mean either a nice slippery way down the dumps, OR a firm and confident way up (i'm talking about the roller coaster of life, in case there are uncertainities in the crowd). I can assure, this time it's the positive sign - going up. One important lesson, which i learned on my journey is that actually, the expensive pizza that everyone's talking about is not that good, and doesn't really worth much spending. Another one - books are nice. And the third - DAMN!!! I feel helpless about the wehike website!!! I need nice web design in action to be ready just about NOW. This is where the temporary version is located: www.wehike.net/polygon ...OK, so now i'm educated with those three lessons...

Don't read the following paragraph if you have no interest in the music recording techniques:
It's completely stupid to apply compressor to the main output of all the tracks in sonar. And I did that. You know what compressor does??? If it's set on one of the tracks - it just evens out the volume of the recording. For example - if you move closer and farer from microphone while singing - the volume changes. Well, compressor makes quiet parts louder, and loud - quieter. So now your recording sounds even... Good, huh? Now what if compressor is applied to the main output of the whole project? It then 'listens' to what's playing, and if for example only bass + drums are playing, it makes them loud... But if voice joins, then the compressor makes drums and bass quieter to give the voice some room. So we end up having smoothed out song. And the more instruments join, the quieter each one becomes, so that everything is even. But it's actually extremely stupid. Here's why. NO FEEL. NO AGRESSIVENESS. Everything becomes one big porrige. Instruments don't have defined clear sound. So, once i turned off the compressor on most of my projects - they appeared as if newly reborn. Except one - the light one with symphonic instruments. That one sounded better as 'porridge'. So now, after some remastering done, even the last song, the one that some of you heard recently, became more alive, and impressive.

My parents decided to give a bit of a remake to the apartment... Painted walls, touches of nice interior design, complete clearing and dusting - all included. But there's one thing that sounds more appealing to me... the TABLE. The big table that's going to be built up for that little room of mine. We'll see. I'm kinda looking forward to that (obviously).

Don't ask me about the job.

I miss my hiking out-of-state friends.
I also already miss friends that are going to hike out of state soon, to go to college again...

That's all folks! (c) LOONEY TUNES HAHAHA
