How to change plain photos to awesome banner images for Facebook, Twitter or Google Plus
You may have seen my Twitter profile and wonder how I get visual effects like that for a banner image.
I use nothing but free tools on the web. Yeah, I have image editors, but I find the online way of doing it is faster and easier.
Here's how it's done.
I've been a Weird Al listener for a long time, and something a lot of people don't take into consideration is just how damned good of a musician he is.
The way that I master audio files today for my songs is by using what I call a "smash compression" technique. Audio pros would probably consider this a really bad way to master an audio file, but I like the way it sounds and it works for me.
This is how I smash-compress a master audio WAV brought out of the Zoom R8 and into Audacity.
