I Wanna Win The USB Memory Watch from Gobala Krishnan

As a person who makes music (or trying to), I tend to bring my ideas everywhere. I remember somewhat ten years ago during school days, me and a good friend will try various ways to capture our recordings. I was staying in a hostel. Me and my friend Ivan Roger Ongkili was his name, would arrange this big lockers into one corner so we would have like an acoustic room and be able to capture the sound better. We did this in the study hall and it sure upsets most of our juniors. We used a Sanyo ‘mini-compo’ and recorded on tape.

Back home in my parents house, I would try to do a so called ‘multi track recording’ all on tape. You folks still remember those double tape player thing on certain mini-compo models where you can duplicate tapes? Yes. that’s the one. What i will do is have two tapes. I will record say the rythm on one tape, played the tape on deck A, then press record on deck B for the other tape and played along. Repeat process until you have a complete song with all the parts needed. Of course at the time, I never bothered about precise timing and stuff. The sound quality will always sound nasty no doubt!

Just within a span of a few years, we now can do home recordings just like the pros. Now I prefer Sony Vegas Video software, which is a multi-track audio and video editing software. I am currently using an M-Audio USB Audio Interface which allows me to record crystal clear guitar sounds and microphone sounds as well. My recordings are being uploaded at lifedemo.com for the world to enjoy.

Talking about technology, one thing that I have to carry all the time is my external hard disk. This is where I backup all my song materials and demos. It makes a world of difference. I can bring my whole song or parts and do my work on my laptop on the go or back at my home or even at a friends house. But something really caught my attention today. Gobala Krishnan, one of my favorite wisdom source, is running a contest. It’s a post called “Win Any Of Our Six Crazy Christmas Gifts“. The reason I am so excited is that one of the gifts is this really cool USB Memory Watch. having this is just like having mu external hard disk only this time, I’ll be doing it in style instead of carrying some little box thingy. Imagine telling a friend in Star Bucks, “hey, check out this song I just composed last night, here have a copy” and u show him your watch and give him a USB cable…that’s phat like most people will say!

Should I win the watch, my musical journey will sure be more exciting. Thanks GK for giving this opportunity to us. That’s really creative of you.
