Hello and thank you very much for listening to this episode of The Billy Newman photo podcast. Today we’re gonna be talking about a couple of the outdoor trips we just got to wrap up for the Memorial Day weekend we really put a lot of effort into it Where do we go Marina?
0:31
We went to so Haley falls first to start off
0:35
Yeah, we did go to say Haley which is a really cool spot. I love that area and there’s so many cool waterfalls throughout Oregon and especially this time of year while the creeks are still running pretty strongly after a lot of the snow was melting out of the hill. Later in the year they started to get quite a bit weaker, especially in years where there was let’s say like a drought or you know, low snowpack or where the watershed is lower than it would normally be like, I guess I remember sometimes in years past when we went in late July August, it was really nothing but a trickle coming down some of those waterfalls so it was beautiful. Getting to some of those places in the upper cascade foothills I guess, in late May, while while there’s still like a ton of water coming through, but yeah, we went to say Haley falls first, which is really interesting spot when we did like a hike through there too, right? What was that other one called? I don’t remember. We said to
1:25
kusa, kusa
1:27
Sophos interesting spot Yeah, so that was a really pretty area and I don’t check that out we were trying to do the special project with 360 video there so I guess if you listen to this and you want to check it out, there’s going to be maybe soon as soon as we could get this stuff rendered and put out but bad I’ll put up a link sooner or later on Billy Newman photo calm to some of the interesting 360 degree footage that we’ve been recording which is all part of a special media project that we’ve been trying to put together for some of the I guess emerging technology trends of 2018 I don’t know 360 videos been around for a while but it’s interesting to us now so that’s why I mentioned that I suppose. It was really cool though getting out to a couple cool hikes this weekend. I had a great time doing it and then was the other one out there that we did proxy falls
2:11
Yeah, proxy falls also very beautiful and very full of water and your first time i impressive looking at Yeah, would you think it was it’s a beautiful spot it is really cool because there’s the huge waterfall that is pouring down and then that flows into a creek that washes around all of these trees and big rocks. Yeah.
2:33
The roots are just kind of dug into the ground but the water just seems to kind of flow all the way around it there. It’s really it’s not just a routed channel of the creek but yeah, it just seems to kind of flow out and around just through that section. There’s I don’t know what it’s called something there’s a term for that splash zone, the waterfall that blown out area at the bottom of the waterfall. I don’t know what it’s called either but that whole area yeah it’s all trees and all these root systems that are there outside of the rocks and stuff but it’s really beautiful to kind of see and and to walk through and look at and especially the recording 360 rendering out some of it kind of looking around it’s really interesting and immersive to look around and see wow that’s that’s how that ripple was that’s where that log was that’s looking up back up to the waterfall you can hear the the mist and you know the sound of the water coming down and crashing. It’s really cool, but just really immersive and really interesting. Going up to all those places and trying to try and record some stuff is cool.
3:25
Yeah, great time of year for waterfalls.
3:27
Yeah, it was really nice. So yeah, if you’re in the Portland area, or I’m sure anywhere in the northwest, you’ve heard of waterfalls before you should check one out sometime this month. I’m sure it would be a good time for you. But we had a good time hiking up into the the Mackenzie River wilderness area. I bet you guys would do.
3:48
You can see more of my work at Billy Newman photo calm. You can check out some of my photo books on Amazon. I think if you look at Billy Newman under the authors section there and see some of the photo books on film on the desert, on surrealism on camping, and cool stuff over there.
4:11
Really trying to do a lot of scouting stuff, which I’ve enjoyed to doing some scouting stuff through the summertime has been pretty cool. Where I’m really trying to go through some of these backroads I’m trying to like Mark spots in the map where there’s good campsites, which I hadn’t really done before. You know, it was a lot of places I’ve driven a lot, a lot of roads I’ve been on, especially, you know, like back country roads to Forest Service roads, BLM roads, and I know a lot of good dispersed camping areas. And really, I understand the context of how to find those areas so much better now that I’m older than when I was young. I mean, when I was young, and I go camping with my dad, you know, we’d go out to Eastern Oregon we’d find some spots and they’d known about this spot since you know he was a kid and he was going over there and hunting camps and stuff with his grandpa. So it’s cool for me to get to go over to those same spots and get to check out that area and stuff but I think there’s been or at least one out I was a kid, I didn’t really understand that the land, like the public land rights that you have, and really how those are organized, like how public lands are organized and what you can do on him and then sort of how it operates. I didn’t really understand the difference between national forest land and BLM land or national Parkland and state, Parkland, or wilderness areas, National Wildlife Refuge areas, man, there’s just so many different distinctions of different things and then also just private property. So I didn’t really have a clear recollection of any of those things. And really, a lot of time when it’s public land, you can go on it, but there’s some things you can’t do on it. Like I they maybe hunt in some circumstances, like a, like a national park, or I think you can’t discharge a firearm inside a national park. But for specifically permitted events, maybe probably national wildlife refuges, I think those hunting opportunities are are limited. Also, though, you can still do some things in those areas, I think you have to get permitted. And you have to draw a tag for that location, I think is what it is. But But yeah, it’s kind of interesting. So we’re learning about that learning how these things go and also finally getting some maps that you can use that you can kind of trust better, while you’re in the back country. I think that’s something that’s really helped me kind of understand where I can go and what I can do and i don’t know i mean, we’ve had those map books you know, like that, that 50 page or 100 page book of Oregon and you know, every every page is 25 mile map of that area is always super useful, how they kind of grid out everything and show you that you know, the mile by mile marking and the topography of the area, the different little roads and stuff that even those roads, those mapmakers still got things wrong. I remember to you know, back in like, was it 2004 I think we were out in an area in Southern Oregon near the Nevada border was the Druze reservoir somewhere South a Gearhart mountain and I remember we were on some some little, some little road I don’t even know if it was if it was a national forest area, I think it was just in between private and public lands as it kind of jumped back and forth in those pretty remote areas. All of it is just remote desert and forest and sagebrush and Juniper. But some of it goes into like ranch land, it’s more managed and some of it cuts back into BLM land as this as this little roads sort of meander through it. But I remember being out there and noticing that the map on the page was just totally different than the map or than the other real world ground truth of where the road went and I saw oh wow yeah, you can’t really trust the maps to show you the information that you want to see when you need it other times to you know, you’ll see like Oh hey, like it shows there’s a road right here. Good deal we’ll take that road Well, you know, it shows it’s on the map so you cut down there you get on the road and then it’s washed out like crazy or it’s super bumpy and like and just terrible, right? And but it’s the same green roads the same label, the same marking is the road next to it that was graded and, and
8:01
aren’t what is that paved, right? It’s grated gravel, they put more gravel down, I think is what I’m trying to say they’ve, they’ve made it an easier going road to drive on. But then you get those washboard sections out there. I don’t know if you guys have done that, where you’re driving around in the Forest Service roads and those gravel roads. And I think it’s a natural process of erosion that occurs that creates these waves in the material. You know, as I think as a rainwater comes down, it sort of naturally over time generates these, these little ripples. And that’s the washboard effect that you get when you’re driving. That’s also the thing that kind of kicks your car sideways when you’re, you’re going a little too fast on a gravel road. So I started doing today I think I kicked it pretty hard side or you know, like, it’s pretty loose on the traction and it was starting to tip sideways in my truck. And so I slowed down and threw it into four wheel drive after that, and was able to cruise around out here pretty freely. But yeah, I wanted to talk on this podcast about hanging out in the Fremont National Forest and I just got finished with a huge thunderstorm that came through it just really finished raining a little bit ago. We kind of I think when I arrived to today at this Meadows still a few hours before sunset, so I walked around and kind of went along the perimeter of the meadow and then and then I noticed that you know, I mean it’s cloudy. It’s been kind of cloudy today, and there’s been thunderheads that have been building up over the location that I’ve been ever since I kind of came over the past the Cascades had been in like a pretty solid string of a thunderheads that have sort of coalesced into big mass over the Cascades. Some of it here over the Fremont National Forest whatever mountains these are that I’m in and and yeah it seems like this section in Eastern Oregon was getting hit with a good Thunder a good summer August thunderstorm today which was kind of fun to sit through and go through. It was cool, but I got rained out pretty hard early when I was Driving over I thought I’d get out here and be a little bit more free of it but it seemed like that storm kind of drifted over this way and it was sort of drifting north from here and and yeah it is a new system but man there’s just a bunch of lightning that was coming through and huge cracks of thunder just big deep rumbles I haven’t heard Thunder like that and in years and years probably you know where it just kind of stays and like hangs and rolls for 10 seconds 15 seconds it seems like you know, you just really kind of like whoa is Can it really still be just cracking and rumbling and rolling. And, and there was enough activity and if lightning activity that was going on where you’d hear thunder, I mean, it was almost like 45 minutes there where there was just a crack and a roll of thunder almost continuously like it was a it was pretty intense. It’s it’s, it’s really I think one of the more strong lightning storms I’ve been in in a while but that’s sort of how it goes out here when you have these higher elevations I think I’m floating around up in the 5100 feet or so above sea level. And so it just means I’m up in the mountains where these, these thunderstorms get started, you know, they get there, they get there. I think that’s where they they’ll kind of coalesce over these big mountain tops and then float over in the hot weather. I don’t really understand the weather enough to say I know how a thunderstorm starts it doesn’t start now. I’ve just gotten cold enough I’m trying to throw jacket on. And now you got to live through it. I’m really camping. It’s been good. But I’m gonna be out here for two nights I think is what I’m going to do and then tomorrow I’ll cruise out and I’ll try and hit some of these Forest Service roads for a bit. drive around do some exploring mark a couple spots on the map as a as I’m cruising around. I think that’ll be that’ll be a good time but b i haven’t been out here before. I think I’ve heard of a couple friends that have been out in this area that have done some. I think they did a couple scouting ships for a hunting trip that they’re going on in the fall. I think this is an area where we’re one of my friends goes I think they try and draw a tag for not this area. I think it’s a drainage over from here but I think I’ve heard about this area a couple times from from people talking about it. So yeah, it’s cool. It’s cool spot it was out taking pictures earlier taking some photographs I’ve been working mostly probably for almost a year and a half now. I’ve been working a lot with this 17 to 40 millimeter wide angle Canon lens. And it’s a pretty inexpensive lens and you can get it for like 400 bucks, maybe a little less if you’re lucky and you get it on a sale time sometimes in the fall as we’re kind of ramping down toward
12:41
for Thanksgiving I think you can get some good deals on it but that’s it’s sort of in the the $400 range I think sometimes maybe it’s more around five or something but I picked it up a couple years ago when I was starting to do some real estate photography or was working for Airbnb for a while where they had hired me as a photographer to go into these Airbnb plus listings and get a new set of photographs I was interested in kind of learning about how specific they wanted all those. This photographs and this is really specific art style and and you know format of it and that was fine. It was interesting to do for a while but but what was cool is that I picked up that lens to get in and do that work. But really after that I’ve been appreciating how much I can do with that wide angle lens and then you know 40 millimeters isn’t way different than 50 millimeters it’s certainly different for the effects of portraits and stuff but when I’m out here doing landscape stuff and I’m trying to take pictures of a lot of this stuff is kind of sketch photos to where I’m sort of going around and midday I’m taking some photos of some different things I want some cat photos and my track and my my little cooler set up in the back here. And so all that’s been good in addition to that the the Astro photography stuff that I can do with it is pretty cool because it drops down to the 17 millimeters it’s an autofocus lens, it’s a sealed lens, it’s it’s pretty it’s it’s pretty good in most ways and I really noticed over time that I’m not as as absolute of a mandate for me to be shooting at a really wide open f stop you know from shooting in a wide open aperture almost all my photos early on were 1.8 or or 2.0 or two eight or something and I would do that really because I was trying to I was really trying to get because I didn’t have very many lenses I was really trying to get as much effect out of that boat k out of that soft background as I could. So I was really trying to lean into that and get some photos with it and I noticed with my camera and equipment at the time that it just it just looked better. They just did look better when it was at you know f1 eight I think I just had that nifty 50 Nikon 50 millimeter for the longest time that’s what I did. I did my early trips on and did a lot of my portfolio building stuff on that but but I’ve got a different 50 millimeter lens with me now I’ve got it on my film camera in my bag right now. I need to take out too and I’m trying to finish a role of avatar film it’s been on there for a while and I’ve enjoyed shooting it it’s cool it’s a it’s a new Canon camera to me at least I got it used on kth and spent 35 bucks on it 10 bucks to ship it and it takes a weird battery to it’s one of those 90s film cameras it has this weird it almost looks like a battery pack this it’s like to almost like to double as if they were a little fatter but are bonded together and this little plastic pack and then you pop that in there and shoot for a little while I guess and it runs a meter okay so I’m I’m getting by with it but I’ve noticed the film camera stuff it’s it’s fun to have an awesome film camera it’d be cool to have a Leica and all the lenses I wanted but a lot of time with that you know the good lenses I have this this new or like canon l glass that I get to shoot through and for film photos and for the variety of images or the variety of lenses i have i can i can do telephoto I can do prime I can do really wide angle all with the modern digital Canon lenses that have you know chips in them that read well that meter well that make contact with or send information back and forth or at least from the lens to the camera I think xao works that works in the autofocus stuff for the digital camera this is this is autofocus yeah it’s an autofocus digital camera it’s sending information back it’s working Yeah, that makes sense yeah. So it’s it’s cool like that’s something I didn’t really have available to me for a long time you know I think what I’ve probably on this podcast if you go way back in the archives I’m talking a lot about film with a Nikon f4 you know i mean that just had autofocus I was the first camera like 88 to get autofocus period. So it’s cool to have that in a more flexible way now but what I remember talking about the past so that was that I had like limited options with glass all the time I didn’t really always have the lenses that I would have preferred and so I’ve kind of made a collection of that now with this canon stuff I got a Canon camera and so I can throw all those lenses on and have that same flexibility that I have with my digital set. But just with this, this film body that I get to shoot a roll through so I kind of say the film stuff for when it’s a thing that I want but what I’ve noticed though for a little while is that I miss a lot of those moments and I ended up just having the
17:21
the norm you know the regular digital camera with me with a bunch of my other gear. When I’ve been going out I’ve been trying to kind of just take the camera with me and then I’ll leave the bigger bag back at the truck so that I’m not really carrying as much stuff with me I’ve also started carrying like when I’m out here in the woods and stuff I’m carrying that binocular harness with me which is kind of cool you can get them in different sizes but it’s sort of like if you imagine like a backpack but what they do is they strap on to the front so it’s right on your chest. And what you can do is fill is put like a pair of binoculars in there so you can pull them out and then scatter around with your binoculars, do some glasses and then pop them back into your into your harness and then kind of carry on with whatever you want to do but if you leave that empty without the without the binoculars if you have a smaller Camera Rig probably like a mirrorless or a Sony camera you know like one of those Sony A 6000s man if you were a backpacker, and you had a Sony A 6000 and this this front carry like binocular pack, you’d be really sad that would be like all the camera bag that you’d need in fact really if I’m thinking about ever doing some like over you know some longer backpacking travel where I just have to pack everything in a way it’s gonna be something I’m more conscious of than I think that’s really like the way to go is I’ve kind of been thinking about it a little bit it’s like good to get a lighter camera. Or I mean it’d be great to like carry like a 360 camera you know if you’re going up someone else’s those are almost nothing as it is anyway but but if you carry like an SLR or something that you want to try and do some some more controlled photography was you had something like a an A 6000 from Sony or an a seven, seven or three or whatever it is something that size with a lens attached to it, you know, that could fit in one of these binocular harnesses harnesses and carry kind of route on your front and then you see something and we’ll take it, pop that open right on your chest, pull it right up to your eyes, got straps on it in the harness, pull it right up to your eyes ready to shoot and you can take photos, or take photos you know as quick as you want to so it’s kind of a cool process. If you’re out hiking a lot for what I’m doing. I have my binocular harness but it’s got binoculars in it and I’ve been kind of going around and trying to do some bird watching stuff while I’m out here and so cool Hawk was posted up who was looking at me, that’s about all I’ve seen so far. So I coyote the other day. That was cool. I’ll talk about that later that but
19:45
because I had those binoculars in there and I’ve been kind of going out on these, these shorter hikes and stuff that I’ve been trying to go around and like just kind of watch some stuff or watch land and kind of keep an eye out but I just had the camera on my longer strap on my side was That 17 to 40 millimeter lens. And that’s where it’s really good, it’s been a pretty flexible kit for me to go around and take a bunch of photographs with. So it’s pretty easy, pretty lightweight to work with. And I can kind of move back and forth between those things strapped around my neck, you know, it’s not everything just hanging around my neck with a lanyard, it’s all kind of put somewhere or packed in somewhere. So it’s been kind of cool. But it was good going out and taking some photos tonight, I was trying to get some of the i didn’t i didn’t get anything lightning in the camera, though the lightning stone kind of passed as soon as it was getting really dark enough to do like a long exposure kind of thing where I could, I could sort of catch something, something spark and otherwise, you know, you gotta you gotta beat the lightning bolt with your shutter finger. And that’s a pretty tricky task to do. I think that’s how they do it, you know, when you get those, you get those like magazine photos back in the day of a powerful lightning bolt striking, I don’t know, the center of a road or something like that. So they’d show, you know, some kind of power lightning bolt, but the way that they would do that stuff is I think, I think it was like he was dark out, you know, are pretty dark out. And so they’d set the camera up for just a cycle of long exposures, and then they would just kind of let it ride, you know, so they’d have a couple seconds to expose the image to whatever you know, would work. And then they’re just going to have that rolling so that when, when a bolt of lightning did strike, and it would be captured, and you could go through that collection of captured or, you know, how is it that when a lightning bolt would strike the ground, the camera would have already been exposing for a photograph. Because it’s just cycling the shutter on a four second exposure, let’s say something like that. And so you know, it takes a four second exposure stops, processes for a second, it takes a four second exposure stops processes for a second. So I think that’s how they did some of that stuff where they, they kind of anticipate. Alright, it’s been a couple minutes, let’s take a frame now. And then it’s just going to be an event in the future. So we don’t know if it’s going to happen or not. We’re going to wait for this event in the future when we boom, see a lightning bolt and then that light then exposes the sensor or the film and the camera and then you’re left with an image that has that lightning bolt represented in the frame when you’re shooting on a tripod or something like that with with like a short cycle, long exposure. And I thought that was pretty cool, but I didn’t really get a chance to get all that stuff set up before the storm kind of passed me by I did get a lot of cool handheld stuff that was that’s great if the thunder heads and stuff and really unfortunately just in the location that I’m at a lot of that and I guess maybe for the better but that lightning storm didn’t pass right over my head, it was still a little ways away. So I could see the lightning bolts cracking through the trees can out in the distance more, a few they stretched across the sky pretty good too. It’s just a big old, you know, from from east to west. It was like, you know, big old chunk of boulders crack all the way across the sky. It was cool. So I got photos of the thunderheads, the sunset, the the big field out here, it’s
23:11
cool, it’s a nice area. But I was also thinking about some of the other stuff that I want to be doing tomorrow. So I’m out in the Fremont National Forest. I’m going to be heading I think maybe south from here and I’m going to try and explore a couple areas that are still open. Or I guess it’s all open publicly This is like a pretty large contiguous section of national forest land here and really like that’s a big part of Oregon overall, right? It’s like 53% public lands it’s cool Yeah, if you look at a map, you’ll see the cities and you’ll see like the highways and stuff but if you have the right map it’ll show you where the BLM land is and where the different national forests are. And it’s cool this whole area the Northwest is just there’s a lot of public land that you get to use and there’s a lot of open area that you get to go to and and yeah now that I’ve got a good map of the outdoor off road, roads and some of the terrain and stuff with some good notes and I’m able to kind of move around and get out to a lot more places than I had before. So it’s been cool. The app that I’m using is the on x off road app it’s I think 2999 a year and so pitch that out picked up this app and then you can download offline these these really detailed off road maps that are supposed to show you all the trails you know even just walking trails, all the roads all of the like the pieces of information you’d need for kind of moving around in the back country and really as surprising as it is as remote as a lot of these places are people go here you know it’s it’s also public land is managed by the the forest department forest Forest Service. Yeah, I think a lot of stuff managed by the Forest Service, the BLM stuff managed by the BLM. That’s why these roads are as good as they are. Or maintained and that’s why I like when trees are down on these mountain roads you know someone has to go through at the beginning of the year and cut all those out, rip them out fill in the potholes, all that sort of stuff. So all these areas are are known about and you know, kind of managed in a pretty significant way. In fact, I think more so to come in the future I think they just announced yesterday or the day before that they’ve passed the great American outdoors Act, which I really don’t know the first thing about, or, or what it does or doesn’t do, or what it puts in or leaves out. But I think part of my understanding is that it’s supposed to change some of the funding mechanisms that go into supporting the the maintenance of these public lands that are out here across the country, but really significantly out here in the western states. So it’s, it’s pretty cool. I think, before that, it was like, well, we should spend you know X amount of money but there’s a more important place for that money to go so it wasn’t like a guaranteed amount, sort of what I understand so if I understand it correctly, there’s like I think they’ve said $3 billion a year of mandated funding for projects. I think here in the back country, BLM land Forest Service land and like national wildlife refuges and stuff so pretty cool. Yeah, I think that’s gonna, well, maybe we’ll see a change in that I think it’s supposed to better fund the operations of BLM and forest service people as they’re going through and trying to get these areas ready for, for the public to be using more regularly. So it’s cool, I think it’ll mean a lot over the next few years, or what maybe we’ll see how it, how it kind of transforms some of the way that these these areas are managed, I think maybe it’s more for mine, I probably shouldn’t even speculate. I’m not sure at all, but it’s pretty cool. I’m excited about being out here and doing some camping and stuff dealing with this thunderstorm. I think it’s one of those things where by the morning, you know it’s going to be or at least I was looking at the weather it should be mostly cloudy, partly cloudy, mostly sunny tomorrow for a while. So I think that’s pretty cool. I’m excited to be hanging out, do some cabin stuff, do some podcasting. I’m in the back of my truck right now. Like I was saying it was rain in early after this thunderstorm so I got that canopy on my truck. And I’m nice dry, nice warm. kind of feels like I’m just inside somewhere so it’s it’s a cool cool rig having the foil drive having the canopy on the back having your staff and your sleeping area just kind of set it back there and I’m ready to go. So I’ve been having a good time being out here and
27:43
it’s been pretty good. Pretty good trip so far. I so appreciate you guys checking out this podcast from me. I’m gonna do a couple more podcasts while I’m out here on this camping trip. And I’ll I’ll try and try and set up a little backlog of them on my website. I think it’ll be a good idea and kind of take their breaks and stuff. I’m sure no one no one keeps listening when it when it is there. But hey, if you listen to this and the podcast, shoot me an email time for the plugs. It’s Billy Newman photo.com.

29:11
So I wanted to talk about the training stuff that I’ve been doing. I think I’d mentioned I had done a good bit of work with, you know, other programs in the past. But this is really the first time that I’ve gotten into spending time learning specifically about some of the features and the controls in Logic Pro. And now Roger president by five. So what I’ve done is gone to now what’s called LinkedIn learning. LinkedIn learning com. There used to be a website called lynda.com and lynda.com was these these screencast video tutorials of how to use different types of software and how to be trained and you know, just training for different types of most of the time computer related skills. So I’ve used that service For a number of things over the years, specifically, I think Chris, or wigs, Lightroom tutorial is probably like a standard for a lot of photographers that have been interested in and learning about photography editing. And so all of those courses that have existed over the years have a lot of a lot of good information in them. But so I went back to, to what would be lynda.com now as it has been purchased by LinkedIn, through Microsoft, it’s now called LinkedIn learning. Right on. So LinkedIn learning has all of the old Lynda videos, including all the updates to the videos that they’re still continuing to produce. So I went on and I tried to find some training videos about Logic Pro 10. There’s a number of videos for like Essential Training for Logic Pro 10. But there’s nothing because now this new update Logic Pro 10.5 is really only maybe two weeks old or something. It’s, there’s no there’s just no new video training established for it. So I think for Logic Pro 10.4, there’s a full Essential Training Video that was produced by was Scott Hirsch, a music producer out of New York and he just kind of goes through the controls and the the system and stuff and you get you get a good feel of like how to how to make changes, how to use different features, how to use the mixer versus like the linear tracking system, you know how to use different controls and stuff. A lot of this stuff is similar if you’ve used GarageBand, like I was mentioned, or another digital audio workstation that does multitrack in the past. But it was cool. Yeah, learning licks and techniques about how to apply different different compress, or how to make the settings of a compressor do more specifically the types of things that I’m wanting to do in a mix, I think was some good information for me to be learning about through the the Logic Pro training stuff. Also, in addition to that, if you don’t want that, so LinkedIn learning is a paid service, you can get a one month free trial at that too, which I’m taking advantage of at this moment to get to get some new information. But what you can do is go to YouTube and look up similar, similar training videos. And there’s a lot of people a lot of music producers out there that have done their own screencasts of kind of walking through different services or different techniques that these digital audio workstations provide. So as looking at a guy, guy’s website, I think it was why Logic Pro rules calm and that had a lot of good training videos on it too. He had a lot of information about how different pieces of it work and just how to how to make use of a lot of the techniques that you’d have to apply in a certain piece of software to make it more effective. And I thought that was really cool. I really appreciated some of the stuff that he’d done and thanks a lot for checking out this episode of The Billy Newman photo podcast.
