VLife 2.1

So It was inevitable that I was going to cover a Taylor Swift song. Hopefully next time I can round up my random “Lonely Hearts” band line up to do a cover with me. That will be fun. Anyways, I’m going to dedicate this to my future girlfriend… I haven’t found her yet but whatever still dedicating it to her DDDD. I hope you guys enjoy it!

Techincal details:

If you’re wondering, Taylor plays this song in regular tuning capo’d at 6th. I play this in DGCFAD (full step) capo’d at first so it’s like half step down.

Equipment:
-Ableton Live is my DAW of choice
-SM57 to record my amp (Fender Princeton Chorus)
-DI with Art & Luthrie Acoustic
-Fender Standard Stratocaster loaded w/ Seymour Duncan Invader Pickup.
-AudioTechnica Condenser
-M-Audio Fast Track Pro

I’m pretty down and having a pretty bad day. So I decided to record a song before I go off to work. I hope you guys like it! =) Please enjoy. If you feel like it, leave me some feed back and what not. For all of you tech junkies, I recorded everything with an M-AUDIO FastTrack Pro w/ Ableton Live Suite 8, AudioTechnica Condenser and an Art & Lutherie Acoustic. If you would like the settings I used feel free to leave a comment and I will email you the compression settings and what not. <3.

One of my favourite things to do is to sing songs when I’m driving. It helps out a lot when dealing with the emotional stress that I have to deal with on a daily basis. Yes, you are seeing correctly… I am singing along to Keith Urban. I’m a sap. Anyways, I hope you all turn this off at the amount of awkward in this video =). Enjoy. <3.

This week’s mix comes courtesy of my bro “The Korean” Ryan Lee. Yes he’s actually my brother because we’re Asian so that must mean we are. Once again as soon as I get a track list I will update this post. I will continue to bring more DJs and mixes! It’s been quite hectic for me these days! Crank up the volume and enjoy! Pandas for life.

Ughhhhhhhhhhhhh…. so I should be producing. Instead I’m just soloing to “Cortez the Killer”. Now I’m posting it and wasting even more time instead of producing. What’s wrong with me? Sorry, I will post a real video soon.

Ok, so this week’s minimix comes courtesy of my bro TJack. Yes we’re actually brothers. Anyways, I will post the mp3 file and tracklist as soon as I get access to it! Next time Ryan Lee and Jay Kelly will be on the decks. Enjoy this mix folks!

<3.

Yes, I did get new equipment! I haven’t put one of these up in a while so I decided to make one for you all to listen to or rather, I decided to just record myself practicing. It’s a bit long so you can put it on as background music . I’ll update this post later with a track list. Enjoy!

Hey guys! Guess what? I’m posting a video! Impossible right? Well not really… I was without a camera for a long while and that’s probably no excuse to stop updating but I will start to get back in the groove of writing more often. Anyways, I decided I wanted to test my recording equipment and my camera so here is a vid of me covering one of my favourite summer songs. It is hard to see the smaller picture-in-picture shots because of the size of the embed. Sorry about that. Anyways, I hope you enjoy!

Ok… here is a new minimix featuring the some of my new and old vinyls. I’ll do a longer one when I move into the new apartment! Until then I will not be posting much on this blog. Keep yourselves out of trouble and hopefully you’ll see me around soon. Peace, love and Tennis.

The lot of you have been bugging me for months to release another mini mix so here it is. The transitions are a little rough and I forgot to turn off the gain correction in Torq. I think a few of the transitions I could have done a lot better… Oh well, beggars can’t be choosers.

Before you all start with your hilarious comments, yes, that is a hat I’m wearing. Yes, I was checking my Blackberry so I would forget later which would have happened. Anyways, enjoy!
