I've been in the live sound business almost eleven years. I originally started by taking sound classes so I could be a recording engineer, but fate changed that path. I worked for a nightclub for three years where I did front of house and monitors for many well known acts and a wide variety of genres I then moved onto a mobile sound company where I did more FoH and monitors for a variety of events for two years. I most recently did FoH and monitors for a church for 5-1/2 years and then I got layed off:(I originally started remixing my band's tracks back in '93, and then my friend's tracks using a RY30 drum machine with synth waveforms and a Kawai K1 II synth. I then acquired an Alesis MMT-8 sequencer which changed everything.Today, I use Logic to remix or create my own tracks under the DiscoiD (pronounced Dis-Coid) name. I use a variety of soft synths, plug-ins, and the internal sampler of Logic, but I use some external hardware as well. Lastly, many of my tracks have electric guitar that runs through pedals and/or the plug-ins of Logic.

Hey, thanks for the comment! I fully agree - which is why I always have extended versions/ endings without fades etc. to give to DJ's! I really enjoyed listening to My True Love...
Hey Robert Cashour, I am Allan Blanks and I luv your arrangement of "I'll be lovin u long time" remix. Great combination of thumping beats and rhythmatic instrumentation. By the way, were neighbors by way of Maryland ;) Back to the art, do visit my page sometime and take a listen. Peace and rock on, Allan Blanks
And just read your comment on the Health one- yeah I tried not to add a whole bunch of things because I have just the laptop for mixing and that whole song I did live! I will probably go back and edit it all it's just kinda on the back burner right now! I've been so deep into that PBS Music instinct (Loving that competition), but yeah- Thanks for all your comments they definatly get me thinking!
Haha Yeah I feel u I wasn't sure- just hours before the submitions were do in someone assured me that they were off beat so I went in and changed them- and now the vocals are just a mess haha! Well at least I have a mix where the vox are on beat! Sucks that my entry is all messed up, but hopefully the judges will hear the song and pick it (because they can re-align the vox)!
hey man, thanks for your feedback. i totally know what you mean, in fact...the entire track was "done" in 12 hours and impulsively submitted (oops) but at the end of the day, i didn't care for the rest of the vocals...i took what was important to me =)
hope you're well...
hey Robert - please check out our new submissson in the third eye blind contest "dont believe a word" if you have the time...we tried to make it punk, what do you think - if you like it please vote/hope the mixing is going well /chill FB

hey thanks for the comment...
good stuff on your page...
keep in touch!
Great stuff Rob.
Mariah mix is good, Volcano very good and I love Mind Blower.
Duran mix and Cesium not so much my thing but really like your "sound'
Looking forward to your input on the Nina remix ...thanks mate
Dig your work,including Mariah mix...Awesome beats!
Hey Robert,
I just listened to your .wav file Mariah ReMix you sent me and it sounds AWESOME! Your mp3 upload just doesn't do justice to your mix that it should deserve, unfortunately this is the case with most of the over compressed mp3 files, but the pure wav file sounds awesome!
CONGRATULATION!
I've added two new remixes from last year to show some more variety. The first remix, Cesium 137 from Philadelphia, was one of the hardest remixes I've ever done. What do you do when you already think the original version is perfect? And what do you do when all the stems are in MIDI format (except for the vocal), and some aren't labeled clearly as to what they do?
Duran Duran probably needs no introduction to anyone. "Nite-Runner" was supposed to have been the second single off of "Red Carpet Massacre," but it has not seen the light of day yet. I honestly don't think this is one of Timbaland's best productions, so I had to make it better. The original version was plodding and had no momentum in the pre-choruses which I changed. I also jacked the tempo up I think to 125 bpm.
hahaha!! ur halerious.. i know i know... the bass is too much but i have another version on my comp (a higher quality one) which was made after the comp which has less bass.. lol oh well! i'm 99th now.. but yeah.. its all good... :P there some remix which are so not supposed to be there but hey.. what can we do?? :P hehe
Hi Robert,I wanted to thank you for your support and inputs.I'm quite honored to be compared to Annell Drecker.So again thanks for your kind words and I would love to take part in some of your future projects...just let me know...Josie***
So I did cast my vote on your Mariah mix after all, due to its originality. For me originality and uniqueness is more important than many other things. Originality and uniqueness cannot be thought and are very rare and noble qualities! I checked out lots of mixes here and there were not many original ideas, especially good ideas among those I had the chance to listen to.
I cannot comment on the sound quality on your mix since I know the server where we uploaded the songs does a re-processing on the song file which makes the quality of a low bit rate mp3 sound file, but otherwise your mix is well balanced. Oh, and because I voted on your mix it doesn't mean that you are obligated to vote on mine, unless you really like it, but you do not have to inform me about it, unless you want to. It was my choice to inform you about my casted vote on your mix and that is why I wrote this comment and tried to be as honest as I could. May the force of creativity be with you! :-)
Thank you for your comment! yes, I wish too that my mix would be a little longer than it is, but I had only 4 days and basically this is what I was able to come up with.
I listened to your mix and I have to say that I like it. There are some nice elements and sounds in it I will listen to it more before I would decide voting on it or not, but again I like it so far. I'll let you know if I voted or not! Again thank you for the comment! :)
Hey man thanx for the kind comments. Lovin your beatz too well done. The speaker issue happened twice, basically it's new speakers (M-Audio Studiophile BX8a Deluxe) that have a great sound when they work and a reputation for not breaking down!! The customer service dude at the place I bought them thinks I'm the unluckiest man alive 8( Anyway they have a nice sound but a review I read recently said you may want to compensate for a lack of detail in the mids, and after listening to My MC mix in the cans a week or so after submission I think that there is maybe a little too much reverb in the high-mids. Unfortunately I didn't read the review til after submission and I only had 3 weeks to do everything due to entering late so couldn't digest and check again kinda thing til later. So there u go, a decent mix and a pile of excuses as to why it should've been better 8) In truth I'm actually delighted with how it turned out and think it bodes well for the future, first time i've ever really worked in such a disciplined fashion on a track and I learned a lot in the process, so soon the 2nd set of replacement speakers will arrive and I will be back in action. I'll stick you on contact dude, and i'll let you know when the next track is up, thanx again for listening B
Listen to this summer sound and vote.
thx Morefield & Bates.
