WWW.WINDYCITYREVUPS.COM - YOU GUYS CREATED A MONSTER - SWING OUT CHICAGO!

DECEMBER:
THURS. DEC. 3 - MORGAN’S BAR & GRILL ON MAXWELL STREET - 1325 S. Halsted St., Chicago, IL 9:30PM - Special WCRU Acoustic Performance! All genre’s & lots of gutsy tunes - Classic & Latin Rock, Blues Standards, R&B/Motown, plus Cool WCRU Originals. The band will be performing the song titled “Maxwell Street” from their “Swing Out Chicago” CD on Maxwell Street, an ironic twist for a band that joneses for the blues! The show will feature the acoustic guitar virtuosity of both Dave Steffen (WCRU additional musician) and George Lemperis (WCRU lead guitar & backing vocals) combined with Rev’s soulful, fronting vocals (WCRU lead singer, harmonica player and rhythm guitar). This acoustic ensemble, sometimes referred to as “The Traveling DiMeola’s” perform with the mediterranean spirit and feel of the world’s most famous guitar trio - Al DiMeola, John McLaughlin and Paco De Luca. Don’t let the Halsted Street address fool you - Morgan’s is located on the corner of Maxwell and Halsted Streets in the old Maxwell Street Market area now called University Village Marketplace. The large, woody, window-filled room features a nice stage, copper ceiling above the 35-seat bar, vintage-style chandeliers, plus old-school black and white photos of the Maxwell Street area.

SAT. DEC. 5 - MAMBO ROOM - 25 W. Calendar Ct., LaGrange, IL 9PM - A special night of Latin Rock (Santana & more Santana), Chicago style blues, cool R&B and swinging dance music! Link: http://mamboroomlatingrill.com

Make very small changes when EQing, because an increase or decrease in one frequency range has repercussions elsewhere. For example, if you boost the treble, the bass becomes less prominent. It’s amazing how even a 0.5dB change can make a noticeable difference. Adjust EQ to what sounds right, then halve the amount of boost or cut you added. This gives your ear a chance to get acclimated to the change in sound. You can decide later whether you want something more drastic.
Always save and back up your original unmastered, 2-track or surround mix before you start mastering, and work on a copy.
Duplicators will often reject CDs if the level hits 0 for several samples in a row. Yet these very short overloads may not be objectionable to the listener. To get around this problem, after assembling the entire CD, normalize it to -0.1 dB. This leaves just enough headroom that the CD won’t be rejected for “overs.”
