Since 1983, I have been a front-of-house
mixing engineer, working both as a senior staff engineer for Maryland Sound
and as an independent. The last few tours I've mixed are: Seal 2004/2005, John Hiatt
2000-05, R Kelly 2001, R Kelly and Seal 1995/1999, Toni Braxton 1997/1999, Fiona Apple 1997, Al
Jarreau 1996, Steve Perry 1994 -1995 and Mariah Carey in 1993. Between
tours I have worn a variety of hats: recording engineer/producer, sound system designer,
midi programmer, music publisher, musician and songwriter and last but not least database
programmer.
In 1990, I became interested in database programming purely out of necessity. My music
publishing business, The Bridge, was becoming far too difficult to track using
conventional methods. For two years, on and off the road, I immersed myself in relational
database design. After completing the music publishing application, I designed LiveNotes
an engineering application that integrates show notes with midi program changes, on a per
song basis.
Over the years, many touring professionals have encouraged me to write "tour
industry specific" applications (I hope that encouragement was due to a lack of industry
software and not their polite way of telling me that my mixes leave a lot to be desired).
Whatever their motivation, they can now revel (or cringe) in the knowledge that I have
found a way to do both!
Since 1990, I have developed numerous personal and commercial applications in and out of
the music business. My initial applications were Windows based . Since my present focus is
aimed solely toward the music touring industry, I have had to implement a new, cross
platform database engine which allows me to write an application that "walks and
talks" on Windows and Mac. TourPro, a tour & production management application,
is my first such offering. It will be released commercially on or about the same time as
LiveNotes, Summer 2008 (if not before)
. Following soon after that will be several other touring
applications: LaborTools (a special events and labor management application); SongTools (a
song writing organizational tool) and WardrobePro (an application for professional
wardrobe personnel). |
