Hi! I'm Lee. Welcome to my blog. Here we talk music: news, reviews, interviews, tips, tutorials and more. I'm also working on the upcoming podcast Influenced as a guest, writer and researcher alongside music aficionado Mark Williams and friends. Watch this space! I have been a lover of music for as long as I can remember, an amateur lyricist for 25 years, a music writer for 15 years and a hobbyist musician and blogger for almost 10 years. My tastes range from jazz to house to hip hop and I love helping artists from all genres develop their sound. My music, videos, reviews and interviews have been featured in a variety of magazines and websites, including: B-Boy Tech Report Gimme That Beat Humanhuman Audio Skills Dream House Beats Where Did the Road Go Beat Tape Co-Op Push Power Promo Drum Magazine You can find my music on Bandcamp: Monkey Mind Sounds AKA LeeTNB And you can find me on Facebook: The New Beatmaker page Lee's personal page
I'm a big fan of Graham Cochrane's excellent therecordingrevolution.com, so I'm really happy to see he's brought back the hugely popular and very informative '5 Minutes To A Better Mix' series this month.
'5 Minutes To A Better Mix' is the perfect way for musicians, beatmakers and mix engineers to get a lot of practical advice in a really short time. Graham cuts right to the chase in clear and concise language and I always come away from these addictive, bite-sized videos feeling more knowledgeable and inspired.
Here's a couple of recent videos:

'One Stereo Track'
It may seem counter-intuitive to restrict yourself to one stereo track in order to make your mix sound bigger. However, this is a great tutorial explaining why and how the 'One Stereo Track' method works:
'Keep it simple' is one of Graham's mantras both in terms of technique and - of special benefit to new musicians, beatmakers and engineers - equipment. As cool as having it would be, you won't need the budget for Michael Jackson's 'Bad' to make your tracks sound that much more professional, just The Recording Revolution and five minutes a day.
