That moment where you run out of updates.
This week was not one of my good weeks. I have been going through a rough patch, which put many projects on hold.
I don't need people to advise me to get therapy. I just need time.
I have been getting lots of rest, and talking to those who will listen.
Everything will be going ahead with this album when I can.
Almark *and that's good, get well :)
we're very near to completion on Artist Directory it should be ready when you are feeling better yourself.
Another facebook outage!
LOL looks like someone is about to get broke!
Almark *ha, Meta it's a disaster
JuZ ShoWI reckon instagram is slightly more stable. Why can't meta make facebook's system a bit more like that.
Almark *because smart people made IG, they just bought it
B. HasemeyerMETA makes me keep Facebook Instagram X and Tik-tok apps the hell OFF my phone.

Jason NorwoodGood on you! I've recorded a handful of covers over the years but in my humble opinion they shouldn't see the light of day. ;)
JuZ ShoWThanks Jason. Just gotta keep on grinding. It's what I should be doing instead of chasing social media, and trawling youtube.
Facebook is officialy down...lol
Almark *so you slum when it is ;)
JuZ ShoWI dont know about that. But im not looisng my mind over it. It went back online earlier today though.
B. HasemeyerI created a new FB page with my actual name (Dan Pruett) and this pic of me wearing my ACollective "White Rabbit" mask sitting in a car (creepy). So anyway I did this only to contact a local who I was attempting to take on one (1) date. When she did not accept my friend request, not even 35 mins later, I felt this twinge in my spirit like "goddamn this fucking shit fuck never again I said never I meant never and who the fuck and why and who's business of it is any of this anyway??" so I spent literally the next 45 minutes on a "help mode" I had enabled to "help" me delete the fucking account I had just created. Fuck Facebook. #WEATNU
Jason NorwoodFacebook just looks to me these days to be one giant ad. Adbook, there it is.
Almark *horrible
What alot of people don't understand is that music and spirituality are a marriage made in heaven.
One thing I often do before writing a track is I meditate on it for a short minute - I sit at my studio, close my eyes, and invision the track being finished, and saved into my album folder. I take that moment to try to see or feel the connection between my mind, ears and the sound. Then when I get back into it the progress come naturally without me even realizing part of it.
Almark *it takes hours even days for me to write where I know i'm closed off from stuff. First I have to completely leave the internet alone, break away entirely so I can be in my cone of silence, then it starts to happen. I'm trying to do that by building the artist directory so I have a reason to release openly. I'm building it for myself first, because the artist already knows what they need, but it will move with the artist as well as you have a choice over placement, not dictated where you must put this box here or that one. I'm going to make it where you can move them around freely to a point.
Quick Second album update:
I am finally in the process of Audio mastering the first track.
Then I'll finish all my works in progresses.
#musicproducer #music #musician #album #Update #musicindustry
I have now been single for 2 years. Despite everything I have been though with my previous break up it has not stopped me from doing what I have been doing. Even when I procastinate - I kept going. Even when I dealt with all that legal shit - I kept going. The first album still got released, and I have Coco. Today is my self care day - I'll still keep going.
I still think about things. But it's only residue. A few weeks ago I had a dream about my ex. I heard him say on Whatsapp saying things about regretting what he did, In the dream I think he wanted me back. I think it is a sign I have trully moved on. This is MY journey - I'll just keep going.
On that note enjoy this throwback track from 2 years ago:
JuZ ShoWYep. Too many times. I dealt with it when I was drinking alot. Not jsut physically. But mentally. also had the same thing when i was in a psych unit after an abusive relationship. I know it all too well.
JuZ ShoWI was basically drowning in darkness.
Almark *loss is a evil fiend
Almark *a very good song and video.
JuZ ShoWThank you, Almark that means everything to me <3
Rant no 1: Seems like not many people care about what you are planning. But some of them care about your results.
Rant No 2: I realized lately that I love my job.
Being able to net work with fellow artists like you, along with all the connections I have in the underground music industry - It makes me feel so much joy that I can help others.
Rant no 3: Under Echo Pulse Music Australia I am about to do a big custom order for a client, who has so much potential. Due to my privacy policy I cannot tell you who it is (yet) . However I am excited about helping out with their project.
Rant no 4: I have made plans for my second album, and almost finished the first track.
Rant no 5: I have been creating a Hip Hop reel for my friend for social media.
Rant no 6: I am creating, editing and lining up new Episode of JuZ Reacts on YouTube every week.
Rand no 7: These Migraines are killing me.
Almark *when you add photos in here, do you have to click on the photo itself or can you copy paste? I tried months ago to correct that, but the plugin that works here didn't allow for it.
Jason NorwoodWhat's funny is that I use Izotope for mastering, but I understand the process and have never used what it suggests (often massive high-end, mistakes angel on fire for EDM, etc). It's nice to have all the tools in a single plugin, but with the growing AI industry, when I find my way back to music I'm going to look at a different mastering chain.
Almark *Ozone 5 is the only mastering plugiin I trust, because it gives you a transparent limiter bur that's what I use to use. I changed over the years, these days I use Weiss. and limitless.
JuZ ShoWI have Ozone 9 Elements for mastering vocals AND I have Ozone 11 for an entire mix, along with Izotope's tasty "Trash" plugin . I don't think I would have it any other way. We need to keep human in Jobs otherwise the economy will fail - FUCK AI.
Almark *26 years is a long time and around 2015 or so, LandR took that from me, I lost a client, and I'm sure others followed. There are things that no machine can do, like fix a mess of an artist who's music is so specific, that it needs human emotion. -
