What is true love? 

    Love is one of the world's most overlooked and overused words. Instead of being treated with more respect and meaning, people like to throw the word around the like they're in the Major Leagues. Love is more than the typical thought of hugs and kisses and more than what the standard tv series illustrates what love truly is. Love, by definition, is an intense feeling of affection or deep respect (for someone). 
 
The understanding aspect of love for a particular person, wondering why they make you feel a certain way? Why do you get butterflies in your stomach every time you're with that person, no matter how long you've been together. That connection and chemistry between two people is just the beginning of something that might last a lifetime or merely a couple months. You see, love is more than butterflies, more than the physical aspects, more than words. Love should be unconditional through simple action or being there for that person through tough times. Although love is confusing enough as it is, through time, the true meaning of love will always show through, whether for a significant other or for someone you are close with. 

Although my relationship with love has not been the greatest, I understand that some of my actions are not always the best when following through with a relationship and "falling in love," learning from past mistakes to become a better person not only for myself but for those I meet in the future. I've learned that one should never chase love; love will come to you with time. I've also learned that if you genuinely love someone, you will know when to let go, no matter the heartache it might cause. If they love you, they will understand the reasoning and be willing to accept the next steps.

 I will be the first to say that I'm not a stranger to falling in "love" too fast. Gaining feelings and allowing the amplification of those feelings caused by the honeymoon phase of a relationship to get the best of me. But in the long run, I find myself in a hole of regret and sorrow that I have climbed out of time and time again just to start recovering from heartbreak. It could be the choice of women to whom I decide to give my all, or it's the universe telling me that it's not my time just yet. Not knowing the true meaning of love just yet, I know that one day many others and I will find out and have and clear understanding of what is true love.

 Entry #10 Dont Sweat the Small Things life is hard, and there is no going around that. Many people throughout their lives try their best to be the best they can be, but that ultimately brings chaos to their lives. I say this as many people dwell too much on things that are out of their control, little problems, and overthinking. Sometimes when things don't go your way, you just have to let things go. No matter how hard you try, something will always hold you back, and you can not let that thing hold you back from being great. If you have no control over something and it makes you feel like it is the end of the world, take a deep breath and remember it is out of your control. Dwelling on things you can't change will make you feel helpless. Instead of dwelling on the problem, learn from it and remember as it may happen again later in life, but when it does, you will properly know how to handle the situation without putting yourself in a state of panic. Overthink is another thing...

 How to "Home Studio" - Room acoustics and room Isolation You are ready to record now that you have your equipment and DAW. BUT WAIT!!! What about sound Isolation in my room. When picking your room to have your studio, you have some things to consider; The shape of the room, the reflection of sound bouncing off the walls, and what you need to combat this. There are many ways to isolate your room to make it as non-reflectent as possible, but first, you will have to know the structure of the room your studio will be present in. You see, when sound comes from your monitors, it reflects off all surfaces in the room. It is best to have a studio room will no parallel walls, but it should be symmetrical.  This is necessary to get an accurate stereo image. This is so there are no great sound waves in the room when you play your music. But if this is not the case and you have a standard room, there are ways to combat this. Using acoustic foam (square foam panels designed to defuse...

Entry #4 How to "Home Studio" - DAW's (Digital Art Workstation)

How to "Home Studio" - DAW's (Digital Art Workstation) The last blog, we talked about recording equipment used for vocal use and the instrument used for home studios. But what would we use to record ourselves or others? Well, the answer to that is simple you would use a DAW(Digital art Workstation).  When choosing a DAW, you have to understand what you are genuinely going to use it for. You will have to ask yourself, am I a Beat writer? Do I only want to record people? Do I just want to mix and master songs?  There are many different DAWs out there; Logic Pro X, ProTool, and FL Studios are some of the most popular DAWs out there. Logic pro is more popular with the Beat writers and recording engineers and is my favorite DAW as I feel it is not as complex looking and is one of the easier DAWs to use. Logic Pro comes at the cost of $200. ProTools is more commonly used by Recording engineers as it is more studio compatible, but there is more than 1 version of ProTools. There ...
