Forgotten Genre Productions

In the last month I have been working on a project with an old friend of mine Eric Lawrence. Eric and I went to school together in New Guinea. He is in a band named the Lyrebirds and they have been recording an album on there own in Canada. Eric also spends time over seas in Turkey I believe. I am mixing the album for him here in PA. What allows me to do this is an organization named yousendit. You send it allows me to transfer large files back and forth instantly. Let me give you some history so you are able to appreciate this. Back in the day if you wanted to work long distance like this you would have to mail your tapes or dat’s or DVD’s and wait for them to arrive. At best you could pay an arm and a leg to have Fed-Ex overnight them and then you could overnight the mixes back to the client and wait for them to get back to you with the changes. This was of course time consuming and costly. Enter yousendit. For a nominal fee you can transfer files instantly and get instant feedback to speed up the session. This has been a great tool for me. Eric will send me the individual wave files for the song by dropping them in my drop box. I will download them and go to work and send him the mix. This is great for all those guys that say there is not enough musicians in their town to keep them busy. Now you can work outside of your community. Embrace technology, move on, check out yousendit.
