New Gear and Gadget

New gear and gadget!

Gear:

I need a D.I. (direct inject) box when performing live and recording at home. The Samson S-Direct Plus does the job with additional perks. Most notable is that it is a stereo DI box, very rare for these kinds of gear. This was specifically m

ade to cater to instruments with more than one output signal like *ehem* keyboards. This way, you can go stereo outputs with just one box. Also, it has optional phantom or battery power.

Gadget:

After a lot of persuasion from myself, i finally bought a new mp3 player. I admit, it's cheaper than your usual players, and it's not well known either. But hey, it gets the job done, and since it has customizable EQ, i have no problems with sound quality. And where else can you find an 8gb player that's half the price of it's counterparts?

Takipsilim, Twilight Filipino Version

Now i'm not a rabid, die-hard fan of Twilight. Just heard this around and checked it out. This is just hilarious. 

Can't our local TV networks create anything that isn't a rip-off of something? Wow, whatever happened to the so called creativity of Filipinos. We boast about having talented and creative minds, and this is what those minds come up with? I have seen short film projects by students and even the special effects are better than what we see on our teleseryes and movies. And i haven't even mentioned the content (theme, acting, script, etc.) yet.

This issue has already caused an uproar among the book's/movie's fans, and so far, i haven't seen a positive comment. There's even a petition here .

side note: This goes the same as well to our music industry
