Once in a while I write Logic tutorials on this site. Lately I’ve been thinking of doing some videos. This video takes a look at how to quickly create a Favorites folder for setting aside your favorite Audio Instrument presets. Reason has a great way to do this – you just drag and drop to [...]

From the New York Times

It was May 2005 when I first started BBAH.
A few things happened around that time. For starters, while I graduated college in December ‘04, most of my friends graduated in May ‘05. There really wasn’t anything like a Facebook 3 1/2 years ago (and I hate MySpace, so that was out), so starting a blog [...]
