I absolutely love this series as Julie and I have many of the same questions. And, your answers are so thorough (yet concise), touching on all the key points and exceptions. Thank you for sharing!!!
Thanks @mariechmura7867! I'm glad you found it valuable.
Hey Lenny B, I love your videos so much. What a great way for us to eavesdrop in on your coaching process. I've been a big fan from the beginning.
I better understand Julie's previous comments about hearing things and being very sensitive to audio blips when she mentioned using Reaper. I had to stop using Reaper because it made me hyperaware of every little noise and thinking it was my error to where recording was tense and the perfectionism came into play. I went back to Audacity, but I need more Reaper lessons to understand the DAW better.
Hey, man. Just discovered you today, and I really appreciate your tips. So I'll offer one in return :)
In your timestamp links in the description, CZcams wants a colon between the hours and minutes in order to create a link. So "103:40" should be "01:03:40."
Looking forward to checking out more videos.
Cheers!
Thanks for the catch!
