Today's session...I'm drained

Ok, I don't even feel like writing right now but I was once again convinced otherwise by a friend (BH...LOL). My day started @ 11 Am by a phone call from my girl group's manager. I was scheduled to record with them @ 1PM so he was making sure that I would be ready and on time. I really wanted to push the sesion back a lil but the members were travelling from out of town so I really forced myself to get up and prepare. I arrived @ the studio @ maybe 1:45 (thats the music industy on-time) but it was cool because everyone else involved in the session just got there too. It was about 200 degrees outside so I was more than eager to sit under the 60 degrees ac which is normal for the studio. Everything is going great, the girls are singing nice, my vibe is definitely there. 90% of the song is done and coming out way greater then expected, then guess what...................the damn power shuts off !! Bzzzbzz..... sucks !! Now the room is cookin from the heat creepin through the door cracks but thats not the main issue. I just hoped that all of my files had enough time to save onto my hard drive before the power failure. Now I'm sweating even more, It's starting to feel like I was joggin around the equator with a plastic sweat suit and wool hat on. 1 hr later, still no power or music. The ice pops that we put in the freezer from earlier turned into kool-aid from the heat. No lie, it was sooo hot in there that when I went outside to get some air I started shivering.. LOL I was like, WTF.. tune in tomorrow for the rest of the story, I'm too tired to finish right now and also, I have another session @ 1pm...goodnight..Sorry....For the series of events, Please Read the pics below !!








TO BE CONTINUED...........................

Yo I'm Back - Today is Fathers Day 2007

It's been a long time since my last entry but I'm back. This mission was the Hot 97 Summer Jam on June 3rd. Me and Puff were working on that particular show for over 3 weeks with the edits and stuff and also figuring out a nice setlist for the audience. That's the hard part, considering he has has a shit load of hits but we can't do all of them in our 30 min allowed running time. It rained heavily during the entire outdoor concert at Giant Stadium but I must say, everyone pulled it of. The line up consisted of Diddy, Chris Brown, Lil Wayne, Neyo, Swizz beats, T-Pain, Akon, Rich Boy, Mims, and....errr, I know I'm missing some names but I was working that day. As a matter of fact, I was working my ass off that day with my regular show routine of Pro-tools editing and operating, making sure Puff's sound is right during the performance, and the overall music part of his set. I actually video taped the process of putting the show together, from the ideas to the editing and rehersals so people can see the hard work and stress we go through just to entertain. Well, I was doing like 10 jobs on that particular day because we were having various issue from last minute set changes to video sync not locking to vocals but at the end of the day we made it happen. Our set was about 30 min including our special guests Elephant Man, Yung Joc, T.I. and Dro, Keisha Cole, The LOX and Lil Kim. Make sure to tune in later on this week to follow the video segments of this show.

Happy Fathers Day to all the dads . Today im doing a little BBQ in my backyard. I have some marinated jerk chicken, burgers, chops, and rice and beans waiting to sizzle up! I've been grilling almost every other day now that the weather is nice. I'm also making some chicken breats with my special secret dry spice rub so Visit tomorrow for the pictures and video to watch Mr Chef Dofat get busy on the grill. Food Network, look out!!! BAMM !!!!
