No matter what (or where) you are recording, organizing your files will save you hours of time.

A well-organized sample library is crucial for musicians, producers, and sound designers. It enables smoother workflows, saves time, and nurtures creativity by providing easy access to the perfect sounds.

Greetings, and welcome! Last month, I began the first of a multi-part Dojo series centered around field recording and making your own sound libraries by focusing on the recording process. This time, Iā€™m going to show you ways to organize and create a library from the recordings youā€™ve made. We discover things by noticing patterns in nature, and we create things by imposing our own patterns back into nature as well. This is exactly what youā€™re doing by taking the uncontrolled, purely observant recordings youā€™ve made in the natural world and prepping them as raw material for new patterned, controlled forms of musical expression. Tighten up your belts, the Dojo is now open.

The voice of the guitar can make the unfamiliar familiar, expand the mind, and fill the heart with inspiration. Donā€™t be afraid to reach for sounds that elevate. A host of great players, and listening experiences, are available to inspire you.

In late fall, I had the good fortune of hearing David Gilmour and Adrian Belew live, within the same week. Although itā€™s been nearly two months now, Iā€™m still buzzing. Why? Because Iā€™m hooked on tone, and Gilmour and Belew craft some of the finest, most exciting guitar tones Iā€™ve ever heard.
