an almost birthday post
realising my birthday’s coming soon, (no, this is not some broad hint for a gift; i intend to request for one. haha.) i started thinking about my birthday last year, and all the instability in my personal life, new music being discovered—incidentally, the first girlyman album, and the second one just arriving last week—and i’m thankful for the relative stability now, the quieter birthday i want to have, the “new chapter” of life i’m in somewhat, for the first birthday i’m not in school during.
i do hope i have jody, jun and joanna with me next year. they’ve been in the US for all these years, and we’ve all grown accustomed to the phone call yelling happy birthday to each other. a slight stress i foresee for myself however is that whatever gets done for me this year, i might have to replicate in full force, doubly, triply impressively come early next year. being a bit of a worrier, i just know this will cloud over my birthday sentiments somewhat.
moving swiftly on. i wanted to get the zoom MRS-8 for myself, but the purportedly only shop that has it in singapore is out of stock till… who knows. the smaller model, the MRS-4 is coming in in december. my only niggle with it is that it doesn’t record in full audio; it compresses the audio at 32 kHz i think, because it’s supposedly lower end or something. not that i’d be able to tell even if it were compressed, i suspect, but it’s just the knowing it’s not at 44 kHz that’ll make me imagine it’s impeded.
happy birthday in advance! and about that mprx-4000 thingmabob…you’re such a geek
So have you decided whether you’re making me carry this ridiculous thing back from the States?
how about garageband and protools. they make a fine combination in my home studio. ; )
cakes> bite me :P
jody> umm… i’ve decided against you carrying it, in case you give up carrying it and it sits in your apartment for 6 months. hah.
yanfeng> no sirree… don’t want a computer based set up anymore. was using cakewalk for a long time and i think i want a standalone recorder/mixer thing… like this! :)
Yes, I’ve been thinking about my upcoming birthday too, which falls a day after yours. Contemplative mood, pondering upon the past, present and future…
*searches post for date of birth* kum hean> how do you know which day that is?
STALKERRRRRRRRR!
