Since it is Friday and because I’m admittedly curious about tumblr reach, I am giving away a signed copy of John Mayer’s “Inside Want Out” to one lucky person who reblogs this post. You must reblog this post by Sunday, 3/18 at 11:59 PM EST to be eligible. I will literally pick someone at random and will contact you afterwards for your details.
Please note, this is a signed copy of the re-release of Inside Wants Out distributed by Columbia Records.
Good luck and spread the word!!-RY
PS, international people outside of the US will be eligible!
Thought it might be time to talk a little bit about Maison Studios. I’ve tweeted a few links here and there but am yet to explain the idea behind it. The premise is an online, professional audio mixing and mastering service that is both simple to use and affordable.
I am currently part way through a degree program that allows me access to the knowledge needed to mix and master. The idea behind the website is to attract some business which allows me to practice my skills whilst offering this service at a discounted price.
Obviously i’m keeping costs low so i’m attempting this all myself; everything up to writing the website so it’s been an interesting process. Currently i’m looking at a summer release depending on how much I can get down between now and then.
I’m not expecting miracles but whatever I learn from this will be valuable. So far there has been a little interest and I can see it working so long as I keep the pricing right and can get it to the right people.
The next few months will be important in getting things done. I’ve already worked out about 75% of how it’ll work, there’s just some small tweaks that i’m still trying to figure out.
I’m under no illusion that this is going to work but it’ll be worth trying!

The AC-7 Core App costs just $7.99… significantly less than the $1000 Mackie control surface that it’s modelled on.
Took a pre-order gamble on the new iPad. I’ve seen them used in so many different ways which I find exciting. I’ll have a 1080p HD video camera, DAW controller, photo editor and computer for £479.

Just discovering Sound Cloud - I’m going to try and upload something here every once in a while. From what I can tell it seems like a great community to share songwriting with.
Found this great interview with Don Was where he talks about the various artists he has worked with throughout his career.
