DIY tip #1

Once you've dove into DIY electronics and collecting parts, one thing you may face is organizing all of it to see what you've got. Here's a little trick for resistors (inspired by user Thomas_H)

-cut paper strips
-fold the paper in half and use a permanent marker to write ohm values
-organize them by value in any old box. An unused looper enclosure worked well for me

Jonathan Robinson-Developed, Framed, and Clean EP

 Here's the latest project I've engineered, an EP with local acoustic pop singer/songwriter Jonathan Robinson. The whole project started as a set of demos to send to the student record label but the songs wanted to grow all by themselves. We finished the whole thing pretty quick--in about a month. In my humble opinion, Into My Life is the catchiest tune...you'll get a bonus demo version if you download the whole album. Check it out if you like Rob Thomas/Matchbox 20, John Mayer, etc
