Lazy Saturday!

I do not know why I am feeling so tired today!

Had brunch session at Waterloo St with mom, wifey and Cait for the great Katong laksa and nasi lemak after praying in temple. Decided to head up to Hung Brothers to get Sony MDR7506 headphone padding, thanks goddness they have it!

It is weird that this model of headphone often went out of stock! That goes for 7509 too! Costing 200+ and 300+ respectively.

I am looking for small compact mixer until Haw told me about Focusrite soundcard with volume control. That is exactly what I want.

I hate using onboard M-Audio volume control tho. It is useful if you have the volume control knob which enable you to adjust it swiftly. Anyway, Haw also recommend me Motu too. I did a check on both of them, they are great stuff.

If you ever want to have legalized program as well, go for M-Box (M-Audio) whereby they include Protools software as well.

Focusrite


Focusrite Saffire PRO 24 DSP

Good thing is that they come with headphone volume control too! Of course, there's MIDI I/O for you too.

Motu


Motu UltraLite-mk3

Very similiar to Focusrite.

These 2 are good brand and worth the money too! I had no idea which to get in future.
But if you are looking at high-end soundcard, do look at RME!

RME


RME Multiface II (PCI & Cardbus Series)

RME is very well known and lots of great producer are using them. Somehow, I did not see any volume knob for main mix.  I reckon you got to adjust onboard volume as well. In face, my company is using RME soundcard too, but not this range.


Protools

Digidesign M Box 2

If you are holding on to M-Audio soundcard already, take a look at M-Powered 8.

M Audio



Personally, RME is in my list but due to cost, I reckon I might go for either Focusrite or Motu. If I ever like Protools software, M-Box2!

What's yours?

Oh yes, just to share that Flock finally fixed the issue using their uploader to flickr site! Work flawlessly! At least there's no large image in my flickr account! At least I can set to 640 by 480 when uploading.

Damn it... I posted when I have not even finish typing!

After getting the headphone padding for my office, both my wifey along with baby went home after sending mom to work. Seriously, I do not know why, but I just doze off on the chair while watching TV! At least I am feeling fresh now.

I am suppose to do some simple photoshoot but I end up lazing and resting! I am suppose to work along with a girl for her TFCD but I have nothing in my mind! *banging my head against the wall non stop!*

Love Flickr!!!

Apart from using Flock for uploading to flickr, you can also consider this tool by flickr. It is external program from web, whereby it is almost similar to flock.

Not only that, it also allow you to upload video! Yes, read! Video on flickr! I had no test it yet but I am really anticipate for the usage tho! Great work from flickr!

Yes, I will still prefer flock for uploading because there's media board for me to view every photo that I had just upload. It make easier for me to view all the photos at one go, mainly because of blogging tho. :)

With $400...

I told myself today about if I have $400 now. I can separate into different usage!

With $400,

I can spend on new PDA phone (HTC Touch Pro). Trade in for $400 and $100 extra for recontract promotion. Cost price from Singtel: $888. Paying $388.

I can get arm rest for my car. Costing $480 I reckon.

I can have my brAun shaver which is rechargeable. Better then using the gillette fusion which I had no idea why the blade tend to turn rusty so soon. I often got slight cut on my side of mouth which cause some peeling! Hate that feeling.

I can save the money for rainy day.

My verdict.

I can live without HTC touch pro since I have my TyTn II but nowadays it just get cranky.

I can live without that electric shaver since I have the gillette fusion shaver, just endure with the rusty blade.

I can live without the arm rest since I began to use to it.

I cannot live without money by my side for rainy days.

Thanks to Daph as she told me that my flickr photo sets suddenly want disappear when she wanted to browse around.

Great that flickr giving me extra 3 months free if I sign up before end of this Sept. Gonna act real soon! Mean time I am renewing the account.

10 mins later
