As a blind or partially sighted person have you ever thought about setting up your own recording studio and producing your own music? Well RNIB Connect Radio's Toby Davey caught up with Shaun Hayward, a blind musician and ballroom dancer who in the early 2000s set up a basement studio in Leeds with his blind musician friend Joe Kenny which was very much an analogue studio recording on to a Windows PC with JAWS and the audio software package Sonar. After working and producing music with Joe for almost 10 years Shaun took some time away from music making but recently decided to get back in to music again and this time has gone down the route of setting up a home studio using the digital audio workstation Pro Tools on an Apple Mac computer.  Shaun began by giving Toby an overview of the studio he and Joe set up in Leeds, a bit about how they worked together producing and making music and why he decided to step away from music making after almost 10 years. Then to what made him want to get back into music again and what it was like having to get to grips with not only learning to use an Apple Mac computer but also working with Pro Tools.  Shaun also gave Toby an overview of his home studio, the kit he has for making music at home along with some helpful tips and advice for other blind and partially sighted people who would like to go down a similar route and make and produce their own music at home.  Some useful online resources for blind and partially sighted people who want to get in to recording and music making: Sound without Sight - an online community hub that has a wide range of information, articles, blogs and podcast about getting in to recording and music making which can be found by visiting - https://soundwithoutsight.org If like Shaun you are thinking of using Pro Tools on an Apple Mac computer there is a great online Pro Tools tutorial produced by a number of blind musicians and producers in America which can be found by visiting the following link - https://ptaccess.github.io (Image shows RNIB logo.

Every podcaster needs a reliable set of tools—and Descript is one that deserves a permanent spot in your workflow (official website: https://www.descript.com/). In this episode, I highlight why Descript isn't just for beginner editing, but a powerful utility tool that can streamline your production process. From transcription to rough cuts to soundbite discovery, Descript acts like the Google Docs of podcasting—perfect for solo creators and teams alike. While I still recommend finishing your audio or video edits in tools like Pro Tools, Audition, or Premiere, Descript helps speed up those messy middle stages—especially paper edits and team collaboration. I also share how I use transcripts to pull quotes, repurpose content, and even feed into ChatGPT to generate titles, tags, and summaries. It's not a replacement—it's a power tool.

'69 AND THE CRIME ETCHED IN TIME -"When I Was 17, It was not a very good year"Rich BucklandWell. Here is something I've yet to get over in all the years since I first read the grisly details of Sharon Tate's murder in the Sunday newspaper's Parade magazine when I was just a wacky hippie teen and beach Boys fanatic.Cult-leader and killer Charles Manson and Beach Boy drummer and surfer Dennis Wilson were friends. For a while, at least. Good enough friends that Manson and his “family” of young women lived with Wilson for several months. Good enough friends that Wilson convinced the Beach Boys to include a song written by Manson, who had musical ambitions, on their album 20/20.Which brings me back to the main bad guy, Charles Manson. I knew as early as the Parade magazine article that Manson and his “family” had gone to Sharon Tate's house looking for Terry Melcher, who did not live there. And I knew that Manson's actual target was this Terry Melcher, who I also knew was Doris Day's son. As it turns out, he was an important producer in the music industry.Yes indeed gand. The 60's was not all Peace, Love and Understanding. In 1988, Melcher earned a Golden Globe nomination for co-writing the song "Kokomo" with John Phillips, Scott McKenzie and Mike Love. Recorded by the Beach Boys, the song was featured in the 1988 Tom Cruise film Cocktail and hit No. 1 (the band's career fourth overall) on the Billboard Hot 100. The single was certified gold with U.S. sales of more than one million copies.[18] Melcher later co-wrote and produced the band's 1992 studio album Summer in Paradise, which was the first record produced digitally on Pro Tools.Charles Manson- The White AlbumOne of the two great influences on the thinking of Charles Manson, along with the Book of Revelation, was the musical group the Beatles. According to Family members, Manson would most often quote "the Beatles and the Bible." The two influences were linked, in that Manson saw the four Beatles members as being the "four angels" referred to in Revelation 9. Revelation 9 also tells of "locusts"--the Beatles, of course--coming out upon the earth. It describes prophets as having "faces as the faces of men" but with "the hair of women"--an assumed reference too the long hair of the all-male English group. In Revelation 9, the four angels with "breastplates of fire"--electric guitars--"issued fire and brimstone"--song lyrics.Manson believed that the Beatles spoke to him through their lyrics, especially those included in the White Album, released in December 1968. Several songs from the White Album crystalized Manson's thinking about a coming revolt by blacks against the white Establishment. He interpreted many of the songs idiosyncratically, believing, for example, that "Rocky Raccoon" meant black people and "Happiness is a Warm Gun" was a song about getting firearms to carry on the&

Guest and HostGuest: Precious Perez, President at RAMPD | On LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/precious-perez-a0548915b/ | Website: https://preciousperezmusica.com/Host: Sean Martin, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine and Host of Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast & Music Evolves Podcast | Website: https://www.seanmartin.com/Show NotesThe intersection of music, technology, and accessibility is shaping how artists create, perform, and share their work. In this episode of Music Evolves, host Sean Martin speaks with singer, songwriter, and educator Precious Perez, a Berklee College of Music graduate with degrees in music education and vocal performance. As a blind Latina artist and disability advocate, Perez shares her journey in music, the role of technology in her creative process, and how she works to increase opportunities for musicians with disabilities.A Life Shaped by MusicPerez's passion for music started early, surrounded by the diverse sounds of her Puerto Rican household. From salsa and reggaeton to R&B and pop, her exposure to various genres helped shape her identity as an artist. She recalls her first songwriting experience in fourth grade, when she transformed a poem into a song with the help of a music teacher. That moment solidified her desire to pursue music professionally, leading her to Berklee, where she refined her skills in both performance and education.As a blind musician, Perez explains how she interacts with music differently from sighted artists. She describes her early experiences learning Braille music and how tactile memory plays a role in understanding composition. While she primarily relies on her ear, her knowledge of Braille notation helps her analyze rhythm and structure in a unique way.Technology as a Tool for InclusionFor Perez, technology has been both a gateway and a challenge. She demonstrates how she uses a BrailleSense note taker, a device that allows her to type lyrics and read them in Braille while composing. She also shares how screen reading software enables her to navigate recording software like Logic Pro and Pro Tools, ensuring she can produce and edit her music independently.Beyond the studio, accessibility in live performance is another key consideration.

In this episode of CLIPPED, Eric's breaking down the ten thousand hour rule and why so many agency owners, freelancers, and online coaches struggle to find success. If you're not seeing results, it might be because you haven't put in the reps—yet. This episode dives into what the 10,000-hour rule really means, how mastery requires time and effort, and why so many people try to skip the hard work. Eric also shares his own 10,000-hour journey—from running errands at recording studios to building a podcast production company. By the end of this episode, you'll understand why cutting corners leads to failure and what you need to do to actually get good at your craft. A Word From Our Sponsor: This podcast is sponsored by Riverside.fm—my favorite platform for recording high-quality remote podcasts and videos. With 4K video recording, AI-powered tools like Magic Clips and automated transcriptions, and seamless audio syncing, Riverside makes content creation easier than ever. Try it out at Riverside.fm and enter promo code CLIPPED for 20% off. The 10,000-Hour Rule: Key Takeaways What is the 10,000-Hour Rule? Popularized by Malcolm Gladwell, this concept suggests that true mastery takes at least 10,000 hours of deliberate practice. Becoming great at something requires repetition, failure, and continuous learning. Professionals don't cut corners—they put in the work and develop real expertise. Why Are Agency Owners and Coaches Struggling? Lack of Real Skills: Many jump into business without actually mastering a craft. Selling Theory, Not Experience: Too many coaches sell courses or strategies they've never implemented themselves. Shortcut Mentality: AI tools and quick hacks can't replace the years of experience needed to develop true expertise. Eric's 10,000-Hour Journey in Audio Started interning at 17 Hertz Studios in North Hollywood—running errands, setting up mics, and learning the ropes. Worked at Paramount Recording Studios, recording, editing, and getting yelled at (a lot). Transitioned to podcasting in 2015, building The Podcast Haven from the ground up. Cold-emailed hundreds of podcasters, landed clients like Kimberly Snyder and Paychecks & Balances, and grew a sustainable business through years of hard work. How to Actually Get Good at Something Do the work before you sell the solution—learn by doing, not by theory. Master the tools of your industry—whether it's Pro Tools, Google Ads, or video editing software. Go through the struggle—get used to high-pressure situations, criticism, and iteration. Test, fail, refine, repeat—real mastery comes from constant improvement over time. Listen To Past Podcast Episodes: How To Record a Video Podcast On Your iPhone: Easily Podcast In 4K!

Get access to FREE mixing mini-course: https://MixMasterBundle.com My guest today is Case Newcomb, a recording and mix engineer/producer and winner of the Music Expo Mix Critique for his live remixing who is currently working out of the historic Hyde Street Studios in San Francisco. After seizing the opportunity to go back to school and switch careers, Case's audio career has been consistently on the rise. In the studio he turned Intern to staff engineer at Hyde Street Studios in just 6 months.  Case rose up the ranks in live sound astonishingly quickly as well. From mixing in small clubs to mixing at 1000+ capacity venues within his first year of doing monitors and FOH. He has recently put live sound on hold to focus on a full time studio career. We met at NAMM at our Recording Studio Rockstars, Working Class Audio, Mixdown Online, Audio-Issues meetup which was a blast!
