MIXTUREcast #7: Give 5

Episode #7 of MIXTUREcast is now ready for viewing and features the guys talking about Give 5, which they've mentioned in several previous episodes.

...but this time, a few secrets are hinted at, and even mention is made of an upcoming CONTEST!

Of course, Tom's handwriting gets a good dose of "reality", some off-the-wall comments are made, and Joey reveals that the light at the end of the tunnel would do him no good.

The title is, of course, an oblique nod-of-the-head to Paul Desmond's famous tune "Take 5".

Yes, it was deliberate!

Mention is also made of the drum Miguel used on the track - a Rebolo and a Casa Vallenata. You can see pictures on Tom's blog at

Presonus Studio One FREE

Studio One is the DAW I used to record my last album Accessible Depth, and MUCH of the initial tracking for Joey Stuckey's album MIXTURE was also done using it. I really like using Studio One for music creation - the workflow is SOOOO much easier and intuitive than pro tools [in my humble but accurate opinion!].

So Presonus just announced a FREE version of Studio one to go along with the Artist, Professional, and Producer versions. The kicker is that there's only ONE installer for all the versions [including the Demo Versions].

It's a great way to check out an excellent DAW.

Here's the news release page:

Upcoming performances

This morning:
At the Macon Morning Music Club meeting [Wesleyan College, Benson Room, 10:30 am] to accompany Wil Dannenberg, winner of the Maerz Music Scholarship AND the Macon Symphony Concerto Competition. We're playing 2 movements of a Franz Straus horn Concerto plus a movement of a Mozart horn Concerto - and then Wil will play some jazz piano.



Tonight and Tomorrow:
Thur 4/12/12 at Georgia Southwestern University in Americus, GA
Fri 4/13/12 at First Presbyterian Church in downtown Macon, GA
Both at 7:30 pm

I am accompanying the combined Macon State Chamber Singers and Georgia Southwestern Singers in a performance featuring parts of the Mass from several different eras. Will include some Gregorian Chant a cappella Men, a 20th century version of the Mass as well as Gospel version. Pretty cool!

The fabulous Steve Chanin will be on drums for the Gospel Mass.


Thursday 4/19/12
in Jacksonville, FL with the Joey Stuckey Band
We'll be playing some jazz with a trio at a major convention-type function.
Should be fun!
