My bible study leader send us emails once in a while and I just found this interesting article he forwarded to us. It had a photo and a short article on Abortion with a photo of women in a rally to keep Abortion in California legal. Here’s an excerpt from the article…

“How many of them realize that life begins at conception.  People argue over this, however in California, the Condor – a bird that is on the endangered species list – is protected and destroying a Condor egg would result in criminal charges.  In California if you cut down an oak tree you are subject to fines and jail time.  However, in California we can kill as many babies as possible.  I find this a fulfilment of prophecy that tells us, woe to them who call evil good and good evil. Save the Condor and the Oak tree and kill the babies……”

It is indeed interesting and the same time very sad how twisted now it becomes when it’s such a big deal when it comes to birds and trees but it seems to be just some minor thing when it comes to human life.

I know this entry is way off about my blog about being a dad but in trying to post this, there really is some connection as how would be dads/moms downplay abortion as a choice when in fact there is a living child inside already. Shouldn’t it be that the choice was supposed to be made “before” they acted on making the baby? Reminds me of this twisted shirt I saw earlier today, which read “Make love not babies”

Having your own child is a feeling I believe nobody can ever describe fully or even make anyone feel unless the person experiences it for themselves. It really is something. The way I see it is God has locked in an emotion inside all of us that can only be unlocked the moment your baby comes out into this world and you see them for the first time and your life changes forever.

I was surprised to see this new product in the recent announcements at NAMM. It’s a really different product especially considering Alesis has been early in the game with the Studio Dock type of interface products for the ipad. Seems now the only limitation is how many drum triggers you have. My only question now is how authentic the drums sounds are and if there would be more professional drum apps that can be used with this.

Got too excited when I saw this online for the updates about new releases from NAMM. There are actually a ton of things that got me excited but this one particularly… a true modern analog synth for $550? What’s not to like!? I especially like how they also added the CV to control external analog synths as well! :)

I want one now :)

I guess since everyone knows I’m a huge Reason user, this fits the bill perfectly! This is the only thing that has made me think of selling my Akai MPK49 :)

If you’re a Reason user, I’m sure you’ll love this!!! It maps automatically with all the devices. It’s a controller specifically made for Reason!

I hope I can order one of these soon when it’s made available!!!

Here’s something that many have dreamed of to hold in their iPads and I guess it’s now a reality. It even supports VST!!! Awesome. It’s interesting coz just yesterday, I was reading an article talking about the possibility of VST in iPads and I thought to myself, “That would be awesome if that happened” and here it is :) 

Auria is a 48 track recording system for the iPad. Now the only thing we all have to remember is interfacing. For all the other peeps out there who may watch this and say “THAT’S AWESOME! I WANNA GET ONE NOW!” We all have to remember that they’re not showing how we get the recorded stuff INTO it. So for that you may DEFINITELY still need to buy an interface like the Apogee, or the ik multimedia or line6 interfaces. But personally, If you’re already goin this route, best to get the Alesis IO dock as it seems to be the perfect fit for this app.

What are your thoughts on this?

I imagine this to be the music making platform on Tron and perhaps see Daft Punk fooling around with it. 

But seriously… The whole vid is a trip but the fun begins around 8th minute up and the track at the end is freakin awesome!

Looking forward to the development of this thing!

Read this just now and found it funny being a musician. Not sure though if everyone will be able to relate hehe

Deep in the African jungle, a safari was camped for the night. In the darkness, 

distant drums began a relentless throbbing that continued until dawn. The safari 

members were disturbed, but the guide reassured them: 

“Drums good. When drums stop, very bad.” 

Every night the drumming continued, and every night the guide reiterated, 

“Drums good. When drums stop, VERY bad.” 

This continues for several days until one morning the drumming suddenly stops 

and all the natives panic and run screaming. The man asks the guide what’s the matter? 

The guide looking very frightened says: 

“When drums stop, VERY, VERY bad,” he said. “Why is it bad?” asked a member of the safari. 

“Because when drums stop, bass solo begin!”

I was surprised to see this new software about to be released. I read it’s also developed by some of the early developers of Ableton so I wasn’t surprised to see the similarities. But somehow it’s an entirely new DAW despite the similarities esp with the look.

People are interested to see how this goes against Live since a lot of people have been having issues with the syncing of Live and some hope that this is the answer… a new Live-like DAW but with better sync. And on top of that, Linux users can now rejoice because they’re included!

Good thing I haven’t upgraded Live yet. I’m also curious with this thing :)
