NOKIA MUSIC LAUNCH



Clear out your evening's appointment on this coming Friday and get your party hat on! Why, you asked? Well, Nokia is going to throw a huge party to launch their Comes with Music service in Malaysia and they want you to come along…free of charge!

Scheduled to take place on 29 January 2010 at Bukit Kiara Equestrian Club Indoor Arena, the event will be headlined by the American pop rock group, Boys Like Girls. The band will not be alone though as Hong Kong soul flavour, Khalil Fong; together with local starlets such as Aizat, 6ixth Sense and DJ Nikki vs. DJ Goldfish will also be there to keep the music going whole night long.

Did we mention that you could also get your hands on the new Nokia X6 on that night for only RM 66? We can assure you that the deal is legit and your eyes are not playing tricks on you. Well, we are not going to spoil you guys further, so hit up this link (http://bit.ly/7ixJZG) to get yourself ready for the party in no time.

just use your PC!

Hello all..Today I would like to share one of my digital guitar rig tips

Software Used: Amplitube & Guitar Rig 4 (Google them yourself ya!)

Oh ya, If you do not support piracy, then you need to pay for the real thing, or just stick with the free demo (which expires after some time).

As for me, well, I have the full installer of both software - used on a learning basis (haha..thats just an excuse).

Well, that is just about the software. Generally, when you want to use this kind software, you need something to connect your guitar to the PC. You need either; sound card with multiple inputs(1/4" input, etc.) OR you can use a USB device that can do the trick. The USB device looks like this:



All PCs and laptops come with a 'Line In' 3.5mm jack (There are all 3 together - mic input, speaker output and Line in input). Line In input allows the PC to take any sound input and play it through the speakers. Well, this is where the RM5 is needed. Get yourself a 1/4" jack to 3.5mm jack adapter that looks like this :



Plug your guitar to your PC through this. When you play the guitar, you should hear it through the PC's speakers. (If it doesnt, well, don't panic. Try several setting in the PC's audio manager. If no sound also, again, dont panic.We'll save that for later.)

So how the hell could you use this software? This is when another free thing comes in. You need a special software that can re-route the Line-In jack, modulating it as if you are using a sound card. The software is known widely in digital audio world as 'ASIO'. The software is actually not free, but there are some bad-ass folks developed a free version of it. Get it from here:

SAKAI MUSIC!



野人音乐成立于2010年1月1日。音乐没界限,不管是什么性别、国籍、阶级,都可以喜欢音乐、享受音乐。因此,野人音乐的概念就这样产生了……

野人音乐是特别的。说它是一间音乐公司,倒不如说它是一间 音乐工作室,只要你有兴趣,都欢迎你加入这间工作室。

就像其他的组织,野人音乐也有本身的宗旨和概念:
1. 推广本地创作风气。
2. 提供音乐爱好者交流的平台。

由于马来西亚拥有太多喜爱音乐的朋友,而目前本地仍缺乏一些团体把这些创作人聚集起来,野人音乐希望可以扮演一个让马来西亚音乐爱好者交流的平台,有组织性的把这些人连接起来,不定期举办音乐性质的聚会和活动,提供音乐人发表作品和交流的空间。

基本上,野人音乐所涉及的范围如以下4项:

(A) 野人课室:开办音乐课程,让音乐爱好者更有效的掌握特定领域的技巧。
(B) 野人制作:制作个人纪念专辑、EP、毕业专辑、结婚专辑、广告歌、活动主题曲等。
(C) 野人娱乐:为活动&婚宴提供歌手与乐手演出。
(D) 野人部落:开设论坛,让野人们交流音乐,举办聚会和各类型活动。

野人音乐,就像一个刚诞生小娃娃,对未来充满期待。请大家给予野人音乐100分的支持和扶持,让野人音乐在这片土地上茁壮成长!

iPhone Piano Apps



Despite my disdain for the widely popular iPhone, the iPhone is still being sold like hotcakes in the Singapore market with aggressive marketing by the 3 telcos: Singtel, Starhub and M1. Almost everyone actually already own an iPhone or are planning to get one.

Well, the iPhone does look pretty interesting and their user-interface is something not even Nokia the market leader or the new Google Nexus One can emulate anytime soon.

This particular app from iPhone caught my attention recently and I thought it must be one of the coolest application ever designed for a mobile device. Check out the guy playing this lovely piece of music using the iPhone piano app on his iPhone. Wow!
