Anais Mutumba....and my HTC Sensation

What's better than having a good phone to take pics and videos? A decent act to actually record LOL

So 16th April was the day HTC stood up and said look at our new toy that will record 1080p hd videos with stereo sound. They even showed a promo video of someone recording a live performance. So i figured I'd upgrade my HTC Desire and give this a go. So my dear friend Anais was performing at Milo club in Leeds, perfect to test the sound quality and picture/video. Anais is an unsinged singer that's performed all over the UK making a name for herself. I'll upload a video of her performance later but here are a pics from last night.

Got my vrm

Got my vrm. Not used it yet. But can't wait. Vrm is an audio interface by focusrite that allows you to use your monitor headphones to model different speaker and environment settings. Like bedroom settings with krk rokit speakers. Perfect for late night mixing.

Palm Sounds: Alesis StudioDock for the iPad

Palm Sounds: Alesis StudioDock for the iPad: "iPads at the Apple Store"

Its been called the game changer and for me it is. For £140 (please dont raise the price) It will let you input/output midi and sound as well as charge your ipod. meaning? I guess its like having a fast track or novation nio for your ipad. it'll work with what ever audio apps you have.

VRM Box Audio Interfaces Headphones monitoring system, featuring VRM – Virtual Reference Monitoring

VRM Box Audio Interfaces Headphones monitoring system, featuring VRM – Virtual Reference Monitoring



Was sceptical about this until I checked the recommended retail. In a nutshell it simulates well known monitor speakers. Its also good idea if you are on a budget (like me) and those KRK's are a while off. The main benefit is that you get to switch from speaker profiles such as hi fi speakers etc. Which is what mixing down is about especially for me when I test my mixtape. Last one I did I had my mate play it in his car as well as getting my wife to play it on my x-box. I'll wait for the reviews but at £60 (hopefully) i'll be keeping an eye on this.

Palm Sounds: Su-Preme MPA - BETA - Android® OS Sample based mus...

Sunz Of Man (Wu-Tang)Member Su-Preme has an android beat making app call Su-Preme MPA (think MPC on an Andoid) I cant comment on how good it is because i didnt take the time to learn how to put sounds on the pad. just seen the video Su-Preme just made and ill have another stab.

Its mainly a Hip Hop app. Im gonna have to try it out. Im hoping you can chop samples up onto pads. I didnt find that feature but to be fair i didnt notice the keyboard until I saw the video. If you are thinking of  getting this then check out this video. It makes alot of sense trying to set things up and getting your own beats on there.

Future Decks on the Mac App Store.


Seen this on the the mac store, and like ive mentioned before (last year) It a good program. Im taking this is the normal version and not the pro version but it has video mixing. Its the only DJ app on the mac app store but its worth the price. If I hadn't already got 4 dj apps.

1st Midi Controller for the iPad


Im not too bothered about the controller. But more the fact that it works on Djay which is the best ios dj app going. Wish the controller didnt look like a toy and cost more than my hercules mp3 e2.

Pop Vox - Acapella Samples Loop in WAV, Apple Loops Pop Vox - Acapella Samples Loops for Garageband and REX2 formats.

Saw this and was sceptical until i listened to the demos and tried some of the samples on my own track. Some catchy hooks. Got my wife singing along already. This is on my buy list.
