Personal
I’ve had a very busy year! Corinne and I married October 4th, 2014, and fairly soon after, we found out we were expecting! Since that time, I’ve been busy with house renovations and preparations for the arrival of our child.
October 15th, 2015, Alexandra Sophia Isabelle Adlers arrived! Mom and Alex are doing just fine. Now it’s a matter of learning how to function with less sleep. 🙂
As to the house renovations, I’ve learned so much in the last year, and our house is looking much nicer as a result. They never end, but at least where we are now is such an advancement over where we were at. Most of the work concentrated on the main floor interior. The music studio got some new lighting that has made it much nicer to work in.
Music
Jeremy Brendan Day & The Resistance EP has been printed, and I’m excited! Jeremy, Ron and Wayne really did a great job with this album, and I can hardly wait for the full album release. Very proud to be a part of that project. It has taken some time, but I love the results. See my May post for the tunes on Soundcloud.com.
Because of personal priorities, music has taken a temporary break while I readjust to all the changes and enjoy my new family. However, as things settle in, I’ll be back on the creative wagon starting on new projects and continuing existing ones. My mind has been racing with ideas that need some exercising.
One other hurdle I am still working through is taking my 2007 iMac to Yosemite and upgrading from Logic Pro 8 to X. I’m looking forward to some of the new features I’ve read up on, as it will fill a couple of holes in my studio gear. The Yosemite upgrade went much better than some other upgrade stories I’ve read up on. My MOTU 8PRE had some driver complaints initially, but those have been worked out. Logic Pro X, you’re next.
I’m rated in the Top 10 for Electronic for Kitchener-Waterloo on Reverbnation.com! Well, in the bigger scheme of things, I don’t know how relevant is this? But it’s somewhat cool to hear that anyways. Perhaps I should put up newer tracks.
YouTube
I have an awesome idea that I will be working on soon for my YouTube channel. I had to get some approvals done first, but that is clear, and I can go ahead. Stay tuned!
I have checked out stats from Google for my channel, and one of the key pieces of data I found interesting was the time people spent watching my videos (avg). 2 min 30 seconds! Beetle music territory! As an experiment, some of my future videos will be conforming to this timeframe to see if that helps with viewership stats and overall viewer happiness. Obviously content has to be of some value. I stay committed to the edutainment around synthesizers form for my RADLERS channel. My Auralplane channel has been sadly neglected due to life, but hopefully a couple of the project ideas I have for that will come to fruition.
That’s all for now until next post.
