MusicTechSkills - Creating Negative Bars In ProTools
When it comes to music and technology I have learned some things that others may find useful. So I want to begin a series of videos highlighting handy tricks that I have picked up over my years using ProTools. Here is one such handy skill.
Book Review: The Voice Bible
The Voice is a new Bible translation that aims to update Biblical language and maintain the authors original intent. Contributors to the translation consisted of a team of 120 scholars, authors and artists. I was fortunate to review the New Testament portion of The Voice and have since been enjoying the Old Testament portion too.
The translation features italicized text that brings out the original points the authors were making. The italicized text flows seamlessly with the standard text and I I found it helpful. The translation also includes sidebars with cultural, historical and devotional thoughts related to the surrounding text.
I definitely recommend this Bible to anyone looking for a modern Bible that they can easy understand. I greatly enjoy using this Bible for daily devotions. The language is discernible and easy to understand. The italicized text is still my favorite part of this translation.
I received an ebook copy of The Voice and it has a poor system of navigating between books. I hope that in future editions they will find a faster way to navigate through the different books of the Bible.
I plan on continuing to use The Voice translation for my daily Bible readings. I enjoy reading familiar passages in it's contemporary language. I am glad to have both the Old and New Testaments in The Voice.
Book Review: The Voice New Testament
The Voice is a new Bible translation from the Ecclesia Bible Society that connects more readers to the Bible through contemporary language. Formatted as a daily reading Bible, The Voice features italicized text explaining ideas the original readers would have intuitively known. The Voice also features a screenplay format for dialog-heavy portions that eliminates the redundant "he said" or "she said" throughout dialog. Lastly the Voice also features in-text commentary notes and book introductions.
I greatly enjoyed reading The Voice translation. The language reads easily as if it was written in 2012. One of my favorite examples of that is Ephesians 4:28a which says "If you have been stealing, stop." The Voice is contemporary like The Message translation but more succinct. It feels like a cross between The New King James Version and The Message.
The italicized information that sheds light on what the original readers would have known intuitively is my favorite feature. It is threaded seamlessly with the text and helps bring the words to life.
I plan on using The Voice as my primary New Testament because the updated language refreshes my perspective. I enjoyed the ebook format. I recommend this book for those who have had difficulty understanding the Bible in the past and want a more contemporary translation that doesn't read like a kids Bible.
