Korg Blog Feeds

vantan — 2007-08-03T12:45:19+07:00

I'm moving all my feeds to Feedburner. The old feeds won't be updated anymore. I'll post the new link, but tentatively it should be: http://feeds.feedburner.com/vantan-korg....

Distractions

vantan — 2007-08-03T11:39:15+07:00

It's been very, very quiet on the Korg Blog front. I'm wondering if I should change this to a general music technology blog. But then again, my knowledge beyond Korg, Apple software and Macs is a bit limited, so maybe...

Which microphones?

vantan — 2007-05-02T01:16:08+07:00

Which microphone to choose? Answers here. Another article here. Guess I'll be hanging on to the old Shure 58 for now....

Hitting a different note

vantan — 2007-04-29T22:19:28+07:00

I wonder if the jazz music I write is generally not suited for loud, rock-style concerts. My style is much like Miles Davis and Bill Evans - cool and understated, with the 'less is more' concept. This is because the...

Songwriting time!

vantan — 2006-11-04T19:55:11+07:00

Things have been quiet over here at the Korg Blog. I had a lot of work to complete today, and am ready to rip and roar in my music studio once again!!! Mr Rambling Librarian will be gracing my little...

Band in a Box

vantan — 2006-09-25T23:05:59+07:00

I succumbed and bought a real easy-to-use piece of software, Band in a Box. I used to secretly scoff at it when my piano teacher used it to generate accompaniment music for my jazz improvisations. However, realising that I could...

Famous Logic users

Just found a list of famous people who use Logic....

Over the moon

vantan — 2006-09-24T00:58:55+07:00

An update on my recently-formed jazz band, the Moonjumpers. Let's just say there's one less guy jumping with us now. At least that's what I heard. I'm trying to verify this with the guy in question first. Being the band...

Bringing back the Korg Blog

vantan — 2006-07-15T01:08:17+07:00

Yes it's been ages since my last post. That's because it's been ages since the last development. I now have a new band, tentatively called the Moon Jumpers and we play fusion jazz. I have not worked on a Logic...

Rehearsals and revivals

vantan — 2006-05-03T00:42:36+07:00

The new band is meeting up this weekend for our first rehearsal. I also have a worship team rehearsal on Thursday for church on Sunday. I've grown to like playing Sade's Punch Drunk on our Bosendorfer. Especially late at night,...

Logic Pro 7.2 Universal

vantan — 2006-04-04T22:11:09+07:00

Logic Pro 7.2 Crossgrade is Apple's latest release of Logic Pro, suitable for use on older PowerPC and newer Intel processors.At only US$49 for the upgrade, it's tempting for me. However, I don't see the point in buying it yet,...

Reason 3.0.5 beta

vantan — 2006-03-27T23:41:54+07:00

On one hand, it's exciting to hear that Propellerhead is seeking beta testers for its new 3.0.5 version of Reason. On the other hand, Propellerhead is going against Apple's recommendations and NOT producing a Universal (both PowerPC and Intel-compatible) version...

Reason 3.0 updates

vantan — 2006-03-04T18:26:51+07:00

This will be my log of all extensions, upgrades and Refills to Reason 3.0. I'm downloading the Electromechanical Refill 2.0, which is free for all registered users of Reason 3.0. I'm also installing the Mackie Remote, since we have a...

Reason 3.0 installed

vantan — 2006-03-04T18:07:45+07:00

I took advantage of Propellerhead's offer in Nov 05, and bought the award-winning Reason 3.0 with Drum Kits (for the price of only the main software). It arrived a few days ago and I'm happy to report that it's all...

Reason 3.0

vantan — 2005-12-27T14:54:08+07:00

If my order gets through, I'm gonna upgrade to Reason 3.0 with Drum Kits thrown in. Fingers crossed....
