The last few months, I’ve spent some time on and off looking for a new DAW. I don’t need the power (or expense) of ProTools; and Logic, while great, is out of my budget. Really, I have fairly simple needs for my application. I want to be able to edit a few tracks quickly, apply [...]

Multi-Track Audio in QuickTime Movies
This year for Good Friday, we need to run some video. But not just any video; it needs to have two tracks of synth/pad and music stuff, a sound effects track and a click track. And each track needs to be discreet so we can mix it with the live music (not to mention send [...]
Producing The Webinars
I had a lot of questions about how we produced last week’s webinar on IEMs. It took a bit of testing and several different bits and pieces of software. The tricky part was getting both audio and video routed to LiveStream in a way that didn’t cause weird internal processing delay echoes. I was able [...]
Automating Sermon Recording
It’s happened to me far too many times. The band finishes up, the pastor gets up to preach, and in the middle of the transition, I forget to hit “Play” on the CD recorder to actually start recording. Or I’ll hit “Play & Record” thinking it’s going start recording, forgetting that you have to hit [...]
Flying Without A Net: Running ProPresenter 4 Live
This year, in the midst of putting together the most ambitious theatrical production we’ve ever undertaken, I decided we needed one more challenge. We have been running Keynote as our primary presentation platform for some time now (since long before I arrived) and I love Keynote–but not for this application. I have been planning a [...]
Google Wave
The other day I was completely sucked into a preview of Google Wave. I heard about it on Twitter, went to the site with the full intention of watching the first 20 minutes or so then going on with my day. An hour and 20 minutes later, I was staring at my screen, shaking my [...]
Run Windows On Your Mac–For Free!
If you’ve read this blog for more than a week, you’re probably aware that I’m a pretty hard-core Mac user. In fact, I’ve been using them longer than some of you have been alive (23 years, and counting!). As much as I love my MacBook Pro (and my MacPro) and the latest version of the [...]
Some Useful Tools
As a certified Mac geek, I enjoy collecting new applications. I just checked and I have well over 150 applications on my MacBook Pro. A quick scan through the Applications folder tells me I should probably clean a few out. There have been a few bright lights over the last few months, though, and I [...]
Be Still…
Those of use who proudly claim the moniker “Geek” are a rare breed. We’re different from most people around us. Almost every geek I know surely has input as a key strength (if you’re not familiar with StrengthsFinder 2.0, check it out). We’re constantly listening to music or podcasts; watching TV or movies; reading or [...]
