Hiling translated

I felt compelled to translate the song to English for an impending “event”… no, I do not intend to re record it in English. What it’s actually for, you guys will soon know in a couple of weeks.

Suffice to say that this is for those people who don’t know the language (tagalog), but took the effort to listen to the song nonetheless. I truly appreciate the time you took to listen to it – so I’m putting the same effort on translating it to english to make the song make sense to you, as well as show you how much more effective the lyrics were when written in our language.

To buy or not to buy

Nono had a recent post that prompted me [yet again] to qualify my “preferences” in something he asked advice about… namely audio stuff. More specifically, studio reference monitors for his “home studio.”

Sonar 6

Just like iTunes 7 introduced significant feature additions compared to the previous version, Cakewalk has rolled out some enhancements to their flagship sequencing sofware that Sonar users would definitely appreciate. If you’re a Sonar user and were always wondering when a good time to upgrade was, I’m telling you that NOW is the time!

And from the features I’ve listed below… I’m now escalating my view of the my previous post, from “I want this” to “It will be mine.” – last time I said that was for the T5… hehehe. It will fucking be mine!

I just hope it would be out by the time were in the US (they say it might be released Jan next year pa)

Temptation

I WANT THIS DAMNIT!


Frontier Design Group’s AlphaTrack compact DAW surface controller

Assignable motorized fader, touch-sensitive parameter controls, LCD screen, transport controls, touch-sensitive jog/shuttle control… it’s like a swiss army knife for MIDI control/automation.

More info here (Be sure to check the demo page) I hear it’s only about 200USD, if only I wasn’t getting a new laptop, I’d buy this in a heartbeat. I guess it’s racket time!

Rewriting history

Here’s a BukasPalad song arranged by my friend as performed by the Philippine Madrigal Singers.

Aside from being a splendid arrangement (and of course I always want to support any of my friends), there are a couple of facts I wanted to point out that merited it being posted on the blog. Read More
