DJraygun.com 2.0

So as you can see, I made some pretty major changes to
the site. My ultimate goal was to simplify the
process. I never updated because I'd have to load up
an HTML proggy, edit the index, upload it, all that
jazz. What I really wanted was a way to update from
my email program. (Cause I feel like if I had it at
my fingertips, I'd have a lot to share about my
exploits and adventures in audio and music
production.)

I feel like there are a lot of sites out there with
how to's regarding the industry in general. Those can
take you so far. But I had a hard time coming across
a log of professionals. Someone working in the audio
industry, in various facets, describing the different
tasks they perform, blogging about new insights on a
process, basically spilling the beans on what makes
them successful.

Now I am by no means a successful audio anything. I'm
an amatuer aspiring to become more. And recently,
certain things have come my way that have and continue
to enable me to make the leap from amatuer
into professional.

I got a job working as one of the lead audio techs at
CNET.com. I'm also scoring some episodes of a radio
show on NPR and XM. I'm also continuing my
composition of original electronic music, more along
the house music tip.

I've got my hands full, more so than I think I ever
have in the realm of this industry. And I feel like
I'm uncovering a lot of truths for myself. What makes
me successful in a project... what works, what
doesn't. I feel, for myself, it's beneficial to keep
a running log of these things. But I also feel that
for the person stumbling across this site, someone who
yearns to learn something about the inner workings of
an audio industry worker... well, there's a lot of
knowledge to be gained. I only wish I could have
found something to whet MY appetite while I was
finishing the Broadcast program at SFSU.

Anyways, that as they say is that. I will no doubt be
talking out to the empty space. Hopefully, you'll be
hiding in the corner listening.

Jason,

So...you've resorted to Blogging. Well, we here at the Pranayuga Baja Outpost figured out long ago (July 2005 to be exact) that using the services provided by Blogger (this is not an Ad by Google) makes a hell of a lot of sense (not AdSense). It's easy and it's free! How can you beat that (don't ask)?

We're glad to see you back in cyberspace. We'd love to comment on your new release, but there isn't a record store within a hundred miles of the Pranayuga Baja Outpost.
Maybe you'll be forced to take a vacation and bring us one of those new records personally. We loved the tracks you've had available for download...keep 'em coming!

Visit www.pranayuga.blogspot.com when you have the chance. Thanks for bringing righteous music to the people!

Dj Believe

P.S. What do you think of Underworld's new release?
