Ok guys..... to liven things up, I purpose a little experiment/challenge to all the Low Yat Musicians here.

What I purpose is to meet in a public area, say The Apartment or something, and then we all bring our laptops and whatever equipment needed to compose, perform and record and original composition.
With the easy availability of desktop recording, beat making, emulation on decently powerful laptops, I think this shouldn't be a problem whatsoever.
By say 2 or 3 hours time, we should be able to produce something that we can be proud of and be part of a great experiment.

So in order to speed things up, we shall put the cut off point at the end of August to have this session. I purpose 16th of August, 12pm at The Apartment at the Curve.

We each have to list down the equipment and software we are using that day, as well as what we specialize in I will start first:

Hardware:
Acer Gemstone 5920G with OS/X Leopard and Vista Dual boot
Line6 UX2
Epiphone Zakk Wylde Custom Les Paul

Software:
Adobe Audition 3.0
Line6 Tonelab
Amplitube 2.0
Guitar Rig 3.0
Garage Band

Skills:
Guitar Playing
Multi-Track Recording

So, if you're interested, just list like the above, and list the date that you can make it.

Hope to see you all soon!

this is interesting.

u forgot we need speakers and alot of power plugs.

since u're already playing guitars, i'll opt for something else.

Hardware:
Asus laptop
M audio firewire 410
M audio Axiom25
M audio finger trigger
Roland headphones

Software:
Reason 3.0 (with lots of refills)
Pro Tools 7.4 M powered
Adobe Audition

Skills:
non existent

holy sh*t...

so means you guys gonna be seen playing / recording with your guitars at the curve ?

good good i like ...not shy attitude

Can non-participants just come and hang out?

Can. But if anybody can "drop some beats", that would be excellent.
Bassist also welcome and can tumpang my UX2, as that has dual inputs.

Vocalists are also invited. Best if they can bring their own mics as well.

And echo, I'll just file you under guitar playing, because you can pwn me any time!

where or what is 'The Apartment'?
and aug 16 is elvis anniversary...

The Apartment is a restaurant in Curve which has a decent outside area (smoking) with electrical sockets for laptops and stuff. Probably decent WiFi too. Serves alcohol, so that might contribute to the creative process

And if it's Elvis's anniv, we should make it an Elvis theme
Maybe a remix of an Elvis song?

where exactly at the curve? since got smoking area i guess outside somewhere?
i go the curve most sundays and dont recall seeing any The Apartment

yeah, it's right beside TGIF

bringing teh SGs? <3

if i do come, it will either be the orville or classic...
the double neck is tempting tho, but i think i will die halfway carrying it

be a good chance to test out my Boss micro BR tho.

dude..you are getting old

the apartment is famous for their ikea looking concept ..

so.. let me get it right.
you guys are gonna play guitars in front of your laptops, with your DJ-earphones on, outside a cafe ?

that's kinda geek, isn't it..? wouldn't a studio be more the place to do that ? i dunno..

A studio would just confine us in a single room with loads of readily available equipment.
My idea, is that since it's all laptops and semi-portable equipment, it's POSSIBLE to make music in an open environment then a sterile studio environment.
We'll probably hook it up to a small 4 channel mixer and a speaker.

Also, I just realize that if it's a big group, the owner's will most likely kick is out if we order only one cup of coffee
So if there are any other ideas for venues or perhaps someone could sponsor us? That would be great.

hmm, doing it at the public will definitely invite undesirable stares. The worst part came when some of them asked to 'fondle' ur beloved instruments.

But it does sounds interesting to do that in a cafe.

delay this to early september...

that time , my music school / jamming studio will be open in ss2 ..(opening most probably on sept 1st) ..

not only you will have a bunch of equipments , free internet ..you guys get to rape some of my guitars ..and my next shipment ( looking @ Jackson Stars )

how does that sound ? its right above a mamak too ..

September I'll be in Europe.
From 12th until the 5th of October.

Unless you can set up shop by Sept. 6, I think it's August or October onwards.
