All excited about my Numark(did not receive yet)

without comments

Just today I paid off the credit card bill of about 13 grand something tha tI spent towards the Numark total control and DJIO that I shipped to Rachel. She said she is arriving in Hyd on 26th Feb. I just cant wait anymore. I think I will start taking this practise seriously as well. Its better to doing nothing but drinking.

As a band(DTuned) we have stopped jamming. The others dont find time at all although I have all the time. But I will come up with something and record the guitars, bass solos and drums myself. All that Shoheb will have to do then is sing. This way, I am sure we can come up with an mp3 that is worth distributing to people.

Later we can think about composing some more. But as for now, my music is on a low profile. Buying a house if on a higher priority. The next would be getting a job that pays me at least double of what I am getting now from Google(that is what my market value is). My fingers sucked today when I sat down to play. I feel like selling away all my guitars stuff and sticking to serious DJing,. At least I can make some money on the weekends. All the people who have heard me mixing house and electronic said that it sounded awesome. So I think its time to make some money.

When I get my Numark, I will start a range of videos demonstrating the lessons on Traktor with Numark. I am sure there are quite a few people who would be interested in watching them.

Might be some new people in the band

without comments

After Arvind left the band, we never thought that we might get a drummer but Tillu seems to be quite interested in playing the drums for us. Also trying to get Sandeep(Sujith’s brother) to play the bass for us. This Saturday we started working on another song that we wanted to be a lil heavier and lil more on the complex side. Tried a few riffs and not bad at all. We are trying to keep things on the simple side but build complexity in it as well.

Coming up with a few other originals

without comments

Things have been going real tough on us these days. We are practising almost every Sunday but there are a few things that we are always lacking. The biggest factor of this being time. None of us find enough of this. In the past 2 weeks we have come up with another 2 originals but unfortunately I am not finding enough time to create the drum sequences not buy equipment like microphones. I am the only one who knows tohandle the software so kinda stuck with that. Shoheb is doing his best with the words ans Sujith with some innovation but i guess things are just not going our way as for now. The only solution would be all the three taking about a week’s leave and working on things.
