Kinect hack turns you into a punching, waving MIDI controller (video) -- Engadget

http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/03/kinect-hack-turns-you-into-a-punching-waving-midi-controller/ If you're looking for an awesome, impractical way to make music with your computer (and who isn't?) please direct your attention to the following Kinect hack. Shinect, the brainchild of a YouTube user named Shinyless, uses motion detection to turn you into a MIDI controller! The current implementation gives the operator two virtual pads that can be activated by the old Jersey Shore fist pump -- and if that ain't enough, the sounds can be pitchshifted by raising / lowering the other arm. Pretty sweet, huh?

Mixing Tricks

Mastering is perhaps the most mysterious part of the recording process and can sometimes be the most frustrating. Just about every engineer and recording musician in the world has at least one nightmare story about a bad experience getting an album mastered. We've heard it all before; "I made the a really great sounding recording and paid some audio jedi guru to master it and when I got it back, it sounded horrible. When I told the mastering engineer I wasn't happy, he/she acted like/said I didn't know what I was talking about, kept my money, and there was nothing I could do about it.” What can you do to avoid having your own mastering nightmare? Here are a few simple things to keep in mind when shopping for a mastering engineer:
