What the!?

Aside from the model name, cosmetics and bundled software, can someone clue me in what the difference is between these two:

The first is my Keystation 49e, and the second is one of the new releases M-Audio has for NAMM ’07. They’re the same right? Even the pricepoint is the same for crying out loud. I fail to see the point of such a product. Why not just do it like Apple 1 Who perform major upgrades to their hardware/existing products while still retaining the model/line name and still call it a 49e?

I do like the darker color (gunmetal?) on the new unit though 🙂

Heaven

Just like the title says.

This song is dedicated to my girlfriend. The lyrics are really cheesy, but I thought trying to make it sound “ambiguous” would just make the message sound contrived – when what I wanted to convey was very simple and straightforward, and… well cheesy.

As usual, it’s already listed in the music page with the standard info, etc. You can also listen to it through this post.

Hello PSN listeners!

NOTICE

If you’re reading this post anytime after November 2006;
be sure to check out the music page in case new
songs have become available.
Most of the songs listed below have been updated/re-made.

I’d like to greet all the Project Studio Network Podcast listeners out there.

For all other people that have been reading this blog, remember that post I made which was in preparation for something? Well this is it!

I have been featured as an… er… “featured artist” in one of the Podcasts I love listening to. And it’s a very humbling [and terrifying!] experience to have a segment in a show which also had interviewed industry heavyweights such as Grammy Award Winning sound engineer Charles Dye among others.

For the PSN listeners out there, think of this post as a “supplemental” reading to the interview. I was really nervous – and in case you didn’t know, my thoughts can really go all over the place when nervous. Big Al promised to make me sound smarter than I really did, but just in case he didn’t have enough material to salvage, this post should set things straight. Read More

Casino Royale

Got to watch Casino Royale last night.

While I was never really a fan Mr. Fleming’s Bond series (I find Mission Impossible more fun to watch) I have to say that people should cut the new guy some slack. If you get past the whole stigma of James Bond having to look really good, I’d say this new guy did pretty well. Not that the movie had a lot of “acting” in it, but you know what I mean.

Anyways, I couldn’t get the theme song out of my mind. It was awesome. When I first heard it, I said to my girlfriend:

I think this is Audioslave, I’m pretty sure the singer’s Chris Cornell.

I still wasn’t sure since the musical style didn’t sound like Audioslave – it sounded more like Cornell’s songs during his stint as a solo artist. Sure enough, at one point in the credits, it stated clearly stated “Chris Cornell”… not Audioslave.

Anyways, here’s the song (which unfortunately isn’t released with the OST)
