Hardwork Mulitmedia | Audio

Not many people know but I’m also interested in audio engineering and production.  Much of my work is contracted through freelancing auctions and I took a stab at this one that caught my eye in the listings.

The company is Hardwork Multimedia which does different types of software engineering for applications and/or game development. The idea was to create a sound that would be unique and easy to remember. Much like EA Games for you all of you gamers out there. I’m sure just about everyone has heard their intro. “EA Games…challenge everything..”

My friend Kyrie was kind enough to come over and do the vocals. She did a fantastic job following my directions as well as putting her own little fling to it. We had planned on finishing this up in a day or two but the client approved our first few takes. Not a bad job considering it took under 20 minutes.

Hand Tool stuck in Adobe Photoshop

Hand Tool stuck in Adobe Photoshop

No matter what tool I selected, I would always have the hand tool icon. Not a single tool would work other than the locked hand tool. This happens occasionally to me so I figure a short article is due. I can’t be the only one, right?

Here are a few solutions to the infamous adobe photoshop hand tool stuck or froze problem… more…
