Get Ready For MixBytes With Wil!

We will have a new daily segment on the Guam DJ Blog called MixBytes With Wil.  Wil will give you the deep insights on mixing, pc and equipment.  This is something cool and new with Guam DJ! 

I’ve been Dee Jaying for a greater part of my life. I actually started working with the first generation of belt driven turntables and mixers. You remember the Tamon mixers or the Pioneer mixers which had no cueing system? I had to reroute the turntable signal to a separate amplifier just to cue a record. You remember records? Those black circular things we use to play. Well that was about 40 pounds ago. Oh by the way this is Wil from M.E., Music Energy…..




For about 10 years I’ve dabbled with digital music production from remixing to premixing. Currently I’m working on music productions with singers and musicians. I’m also working with some of the most talented Deejays on Guam. Wassups to Doctor D and Ron G!!!



I’m telling you these are exciting times. With a very small investment you can have a decent home recording/remix studio. That’s basically what I’m here for. Let me help you put your ideas on paper so to speak. Like me, I’m sure a lot of you had melodies, rhythm patterns or maybe vocal enhancement ideas and didn’t know how to achieve that right sound. I’ll be sharing with you some of the basic/advance techniques I use to get that right sound.



These techniques can actually be used with any sound editing or DJ remix software; however I must tell you now I am a Sony Creative Software power user.



This is what I use:

1. Sound Forge 10.0-Sound Editor

2. Acid Pro 7.0-Multi-Track

3. Vegas Pro 9.0-Video Editor

4. DVD Architect 4.5-DVD Burner

5. CD Architect 5.2-CD Burner

I use a S%^t load of VST plugins, these are a few:

1. Antares Bundle-Auto Tune

2. Orange County-Vocoder

3. Sony Plugins

Check back periodically for updates, ask questions and remember have as much fun as you possibly can but be careful.



Peace Wil
