stripping audio

So close and then....
Bridgett and i had a different audio opinion and though she had worked for hours to add variety to a the audio track (was two 30 second bits that we tried to loop through the greater part of 5 minutes -bad idea!) i had to say it didn't work for me.
OUCH!
Though the piece could be used for her private portfolio, i had to retain my fashionRIP aesthetic for all public releases. She wanted to punch me and i understood...oh i so understood.

Working with audio software and the copyright free allowed bits is either a fast and annoying to hear or a time devouringly slow, task.

As the original bits she had found in GarageBand were great for the piece (her first instincts were terrific) i told her i would try to find some music that worked with that ragtime-y sound; i felt semi-obligated after that dashing i had delivered.

And then it dawned....I have a piano man in the family who rocks the boogie woogie and i will record it today; it should fit in, it's copyright ok and release ez! and though he is modest he came to our rescue. Jack is the man!

The best of this story, Bridgett and i have learned we can totally work open, honest, out loud and get to deliver the goods, as we respect each others viewpoints. Ultimately we both understand more about working together and project development and are building a better friendship in the process.
So don't be afraid to have differing ideas, just know that you will!
