		<description><![CDATA[Had a fun experience tonight &#8220;debugging&#8221; something that turned out to be a simpler problem&#8230; I mounted the mic wrong!  Cardioid microphones, as most folks know, pick up sound from most angles except directly behind them. Thus, if you mount your mic 180 degrees away from where your noise source is, most of what you [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m a definite believer in cleaning house in order to be more creative.  For a composer, this means lots and lots of computer work.  Perhaps its setting up backups, cleaning out files, installing a new PCIe card or hard drive, updating (all!) your software programs and sample libraries.  Maybe calibrating your monitors.  Whatever it is, [...]]]></description>
