I often watch a show on Ovation called Iconoclasts. The show takes two well-known people and lets them interact. Once the had Maya Angelou and Dave Chappelle. It was beautiful to watch. Ms. Angelou said: "I believe words are things, and I live on them".
Anyway, one episode had Sir Richard Branson and Archbishop Desmond Tutu. The two of them got along like small children. They actually played and hugged and laughed and wrestled with each other. And I learned that Nelson Mandela started a group called "The Elders". Tutu, Branson, Jimmy Carter and Peter Gabriel are members, among other notable people.
Iconoclasts shows Celebrities in very real, human perspective. It's a wonderful thing.
Today is the first day that I've had to learn some of the new features of Steinberg Wave Lab 6. The first, without a doubt, is Spectrum editing. After perhaps an hour of exploration, I've found a 'technique' that I hope when polished a bit, will be of great value to performers; The people who put in countless hours in rehearsal for a performance, only to be disappointed when extraneous noises intrude upon a recording of the event. I present a link to a short clip. It is a sample of my new-found skills in surgical noise reduction, thanks to Steinberg. It is not perfect, but I'm quite excited that I can accomplish this much with so little experience with the product.
