i got a new toy... KRK RokIt 6

2009-11-13T23:58:00.000-08:00

So... i blame SESB for my good fortune.
With the bad fluctuation of electricity lately, aside from my room lights dying every 2 weeks, my Alesis M1Active 620 died. 1 of it anyways. Its internal power board got FRIED. SMX out in KL, love u guys, didn't have stock replacement of the board so they helped me out by shipping in the KRK RokIt 6. Hey... i still have to pay them ok...

So how do these new toys look compared with the Alesis?
KRK's are the yellow ones. Colour wise they win! hahaha
Was actually surpriced to find out that the Alesis is actually bigger in size than the KRK's. Small issue. but....... as always a but...
hard to see from this angle but the KRK's are in fact much Wider depth wise. does that make sense? lebih panjang la kira. hahahaha
But... ahhh anoher but. 1 thing i miss from the Alesis
The small fact that u can adjust the highs n lows to "fit" the sound of the room. which now compared to the KRK's
Only adjustments are for highs.

Now on too how it works...
ITS FREAKIN DOPE. the low's are damn TIGHT! clear too... Highs are there just nice so are the mids. the lows are a lil tooo upfront but can't complain. overall this set of monitors rock! Now i'm wondering how i got thru with the Alesis.
I'm not saying the Alesis is bad or anything but for the type of music/bands i'm working with now... the KRK's match me more. Alesis i would use for Jazz/ Pop stuff. but for Rocks/Metal/hiphop even. the KRK's win hands down.

And it's taking me faster to adapt to the KRK than the Alesis. which is another surprise. Normally mau juga a month or 2 before my ears can get use to a new monitor. but these... damn... 2 weeks and its almost there.

SO if ur starting out a home setup or looking for a budget 6" monitor speakers.
1. KRK
2. Alesis

i'll do with both.

Peace One

for you Reakwon fans...

2009-09-17T15:49:00.000-07:00

Killer Lyrics.....

Ras Kass - Rassasination (1st verse)

You ain't got enough calcium
to have a bone to pick wit' me
Like a gracie I choke a nigga out wit' his own gi
on me, fuck they whole batallion
I'll chop ya head off and wear ya skull
like sophmore medallions, papi
I'm the one wit da million dolla' smile
and three dollars to my name
puttin black eyes in the game like mascara
Diabetic MC's must think shit is sweet
these venomous techniques, I leave heat
A nigga gots to have it in these streets
Bubble eyed G-S on they teams wit beats
Screamin, "I'll make ya famous,"
Write my rhymes in alien
and battle niggas in sign language
Cowards make a little cheese then enlarge
artificially, like Pamela Anderson Lee's double D's,
please
I'm bangin from Belize to Tel Aviv on the Red Sea
Racin' Saddam Hussein on Kawasaki jet ski's

Rage Against The Machine - Maria

The sun ablaze as Maria's foot
touches the surface of sand
On northern land, as human contraband
Some rico from Jalisco passed her name to the Boss
She stuffed ten to a truckbed, she clutches her cross
Here comes the exhaust and it rips through her lungs
She's off fast to the pasture, like cattle she'll cross
Degree 106, sweat and vomit are thrown
And she prays and suffocates upon the memories of home
Of Yanqui guns for blood debts on the loans
Of smoldering fields rape rubble and bones
Of graves hidden trapped up in visions of war
Of nothing, no one, nobody, NO MORE!

These are her mountains and skies and she radiates..
Through history's rivers of blood, she regenerates..
And like the sun disappears only to reappear..
She's eternally here...her time is near
Never conquered but HERE..

TO TEAR AWAY AT THA MASK!!

And now she got a quota
The needle and thread crucifixion
Sold and shipped across the new line of Mason Dixon
Rippin' through denim the point an inch from her vein
The foreman approach, his steps now pound in her brain
His presence it terrifies and eclipses her days
No minutes to rest, no moment to pray
And with a whisper, he whips her,
her soul chained to his will
"My job is to kill if you forget to take your pill"
Her arms jerks, the sisters gather round her and scream
As if in a dream, eyes on the crimson stream
Numb as her wrists spit shots of blood to the floor
I am nothing, no one, nobody, NO MORE!

These are her mountains and skies and she radiates..
And through history's rivers of blood, she regenerates..
And like the sun disappears only to reappear...Maria..
She's eternally here...her time is near
Never conquered BUT HERE..

I needed to see this...

The Recording Session off my "Need To Do List"

2009-02-17T15:20:00.000-08:00

ARTIST: JIAJA
STUDIO: UMS DIGITAL STUDIO
ENGINEER: yours truly!

Equipment: SSL 4000 G+ 48 Channel Analog Mixer. Recorded thru ProTools.

Instruments: Drums - Yamaha (UMS's)

Guitar Amp - Marshall JCM 800 if i'm not mistaken

Bass Amp - Jiaja's own Fender.

Instruments other than the drum - Jiaja sendiri bawa.

oh yeah Keyboard - Korg Triton (UMS's) only used as a guide.

Soooooooooo.... lets get techy!

Since UMS's studio has tons of mics... i went half all out! ahahahah...
best ni... buka 2 almari and all u see are mics... mics mics mics mics...
non of those cheapo stuff too! i think the cheapest would be their Shure SM57's

So lets kick off with the mic setups for the
DRUMS:

Overheads - Used to capture the overall drum kit sound with emphasis on the cymbals.
Since we had a 48 Channel mixer... i used 4 yes FOUR overheads.
2 x AKG C 3000 B and 2 x Audio Technica AT4050

Your basic OH lay out

Since i used 4 overheads. The next time you hire me to record at UMS. Then you'll see how i do it. hahhhaa...

Toms - Biasa loh.. Single mic on each. It was a clip mic... i just don't remember the model.
AKG something something... along the lines of this.

Kick - This one was kindda basic. Didn't mess with it much since they had a darn good kick Mic.
AKG D112. Just stuck it in the kick move here and there a bit. Chun.

Hi Hat - This one also didn't mess much... damn. can't really remembered what i used... hmm...
Should have been this Shure SM81. Where did i place it... at the hihat looo... hehehe

Snare - This one i had fun with. I was doing some sessions at RAM when
Roger Wang showed me a recording mag with a special section on Drum Miking.
Ok. The standard technique would be to just mic the top with a dynamic mic
and the bottom of the snare with a condenser.
With the option to phase reverse either during mixing.
Then the mag mentioned another technique with an extra condenser mic on the
SIDE of the snare.
Where? Cari sendiri! hahah... I used an SM57 for the top, Shure SM81 for the bottom
and an AKG C414 for the side. Use with caution, wrong placement might cause serious
phase problems during mixing.

All this was tracked thru ProTools going thru the killer chun every audio engineers dream mixer. The SSL!!! Only thing touched during the whole process was minor Compression and EQ. Both utilising the SSL killer chun onboard channel strips.

The GUITAR.
Nazri was playing on his Fender Strat going to the Head of the JCM Marshall before going to
the cabinets. Which was placed in another room for isolation. The whole band played together
and that Marshall is loud! Nice loud! Mic'd it using a Neumann TLM and a Shure SM57.

His guitar track was recorded dry with no efx as the Marshall's distortion was the sweetest distortion i've heard in awhile, his 1st chords out of the Genelec Monitors were grrrr! Only thing added onto the signal line was a tad of compression from the SSL's channel strip for both the TLM and SM57 signals.

Well... thats about it for now... the bass was a lil let down since the bass amp at UMS went MISSING! So miked up Naza's Bass with an AKG D112.

The keyboard? Since it was just a guide and Jim was gonna replay at iMotion Productions. Yeah my baby that. We just went line in to the SSL and took a feed out to ProTools.

3 Days of studio magic using and SSL... an SSL!

Now i can take - RECORDING USING AN SSL - off my To Do List.

Peace One

2008-11-25T21:03:00.001-08:00

Been busy LAH! what u think??? Scratching my balls and web surfing all freaking day ah? well... partly anyways.. hehehehe...

So let me introduce to you some new sounds coming out of KK City.........

CLASSIC AMP

This band rocks! well if they didn't they wouldn't be here would they? duuuhhh....

for me they have a very Smashing Pumpkins vibe but still hold on to the 80's funk rock guitar swagger! you'll get the idea... once i get clearance from the band to put a song up here.

Till then... enjoy my silence and let others "Bring The Noize"
Peace One

I call this....

2008-11-15T23:06:00.000-08:00

Most people would call it a Mixtape... only problem is its only a quarter of a song.
And its done over Jay'Zs - P.S.A. instrumental from his Black Album.

So i dubbed it.. DECIPHER's monthly RhymeOver ..

peep the link below and behold... this is for November

Decipher's November RhymeOver

Peace One

am i EVER gonna release my ALBUM?

2008-10-10T05:17:00.000-07:00

Its been what... 2 - 3 Years since the interview with Daily Express on me releasing my A L B U M

That like a 4 letter word for me now!

Till this day the track list on the "Album" has not really settled. Its slow moves in and out. Some songs i thought didn't suit the feel of the album was taken off then put back on again. Stuff like that.
Then the thought or releasing 2 Ep's popped to mind. 1st one should have been out in June! I got engaged in May so my err... "excuse" is that it err... slipped my mind!

But in all seriousness... The split EP thing makes sense and CENTS! its more affordable for me to do it that way since both EP's will only be a 100 units and wait.... think my calculations if off... f*uck it! hfoewhfovh398ry717r2137t-9uoewfd-2948y98y2g9vyhpwHGWVBwrpb mjerpjhb

Damn... anyways i'll be releasing another single on Suria.FM by end of the month and i might post a link for download. Till then i'm trying not to crack my pigy bank to release my EP's

God Bless

Mixing Session(s)

2008-07-26T00:06:00.000-07:00

Holla peeps!

Have to put some of my production duties on the back burner for a bit. Massive mixing session!! An album's worth of songs i previously mixed (that secret project) has to be re-done. Executive heads voiced out that its a bit on the heavy side and needs to be commercialized a bit. Dang it. Means i got to pull back on the guitars and up the vocals.

In doing so i realized i got to redo the drum mixes as well, which basically re-setting all the tracks back to zero and starting fresh!

So back to that zone where u have to envision how the track is going to sound before its done and guide it to that direction in the mix.... hence the reason i love my job... i llluuuurrrrrvvveee mixing!

Hell its tiring and at times confusing... but when u get to here the end process versus the beginning stage... Magic mutha *uckas.

Peace One

ps. big ups to the band for having the patience for the magic to work...

Ladies and Gents, esp those kind enough to read this here Blog. I thank you for your attention.

You read the title kan? OK... SOMETHING ANALOG

Its a combination of talents... yours truly and Rainer Yong!
hhahahahahaha... eh... seriouly.

I'll be handling the beats and efx while Rainer will be manning the Guitar and Vox.
How will we sound... Err... take a listen to Team Sleep and you'll get the idea.
Quick 411 on Rainer will be up once i refresh my memory.

We should be starting work as soon as tomorrow! ahh.. bless the internet and e-mail. Even tho we're both in KK, we're tired of looking at each others ugly face!

On other news... i'll be playing Chill out and Laid Back music for the Sabahan Blogger's Gathering! (Will post more info on this later too)

I DO IT USING...

2008-04-22T07:15:00.000-07:00

Softwares. A blessing and a curse. For those who can't play musical instruments... i couldn't play shit 3 year back. Software is everything.
I "use" to live on samples. For those who don't know, its snippets of audio, a bass line, a keyboard playing 4 chords. I use to take bits and pieces and put it all together as something new. Shit i still do that, just not as dependent as before la...
The 3 songs you can here from my blog and the one i put up for download were all done on SONY ACID PRO 6. 100% loops...

Anyways just to sum things up since my mind suddenly just went blank... now a days i use multiple software to create a song... i finally pieced the flow of linking softwares when i was working at RAM Production. Now i'm working at a iMotion Production. for those who are using softwares like Cakewalk or Cubase for production, try using the ReWire function. even Fruity Loops has it.

Ok enuff is enuff... my production is something like this, work flow wise

- Start thing off with the drums on Fruity Loops
- Rearrange it and add elements with Acid Pro
- Add MIDI and more stuff on Sonar 6
- Export all the Fruity and Acid stuff to individual wave (Satu channel = Satu Wave file)
- Bring it all into Sonar and record vocals and Mix in Sonar 6
- Edit and Master the wave file in Sound Forge 8

now my secret is 50% exposed. the rest is 40% pure luck / skill and 10% my sample and sound library

LYRICS: Bring The Heat Back

2008-04-15T05:47:00.000-07:00

Bring Back The Heat

Chorus
I Bring The Heat, i Bring The Heat Back,
No need to look forward, if u still moving back x4

V1
The time has come to distinguish fans from critiques,
wannabes and pure addicts,
posers and microphone handlers,
consumers and abused users,
the intellects and those trying to connect,
the movement supporters and those stuck at the moment,
those who emcee to spark dead cells,
and those who emcee just to sell,
a thin line bordered by a bombastic gap,
welcome to the sounds of backpackin rap,
the pure essence, not just words,
but poetic sentence, the reason rewind buttons were invented,
check the vocab of this local vocal,
within the system like Ghost In The Shell,
the one u love to hate,
since 98, spittin future wisdom u couldn't relate
so i had to bring the heat back,
show u how hiphop is hiphop,
not something u cud pick the mic,
switch ur name and just start to rap

V2
I create beats that bangs,
if u head noddin, peep'in the lyrics,
i can put away the mic and stop lettin my head hang,
stop dancing for a moment and let ur head think,
the music's been the same for the past 10 years,
same voices same faces, same music just different covers,
still sellin thousands of tapes, dumb luck,
or they've got 4 leaf clovers,
but thats it, its stagnant no movement, thats why we are where we still are,
and not crossing oceans,
its called playing it safe, why u wanna change if the people is still buying,
people are still buying coz they gave up on change,
only a handfull believe in moving forward,
the rest are stuck in time,
since they came out in the 80's, their fans are still making babies,
stuck with the same melody, same progression and same production
thinks i'm stating the obvious and killing a nation?
when was the last time u saw a Sabahan's video clip on TV stations

V3
yeah i bounce it back to the days,
when mc's spit for reason,
now its just spittin for vengeance and spitting for venom,
but that be a different topic for a different day,
back to the present,
what u hear in your ear ain't logical mind play,
i look far forward, sonic soundscapes,
that explains your minds flat escapades,
Digital Licks mutha*,
Pioneers of the new age,
Loosen up ur ear drums, let ur mind out of its cage,
1-3-5 mentality ain't good enuff for musical dexterity,
i say it sincerely, the music is good, its just done poorly,
how we supposed to move ahead, if u ain't wakin up early,
they say talk is cheap, but lets face it,
you ain't running since talking means that u ain't spending,
u wanna say i'm fuckin up the culture,
i say i represent the culture since no ones seem to have seen the culture.

Whut up peeps of all creeps of nature!

It's been 2 years since the article of my album came out. And guess what? Still NO ALBUM!

Waaahahhahaha... freaking sad i tell you.

Here's a quick rundown on why it ain't out yet.

- Got involved with a new production company: iMotion Production Sdn. Bhd.
- Found the girl of my dreams and getting engaged!
- Setting up the studio in iMo and getting the software n hardware to work properly
- Found out new ways of doing chord progression
- Working on Jiaja's debut album
- Working on Sasuka's EP

and on my album side:
- Deciding which tracks to keep and which to put in the "Useless" or "Maybe" bin
- Filtering my lyrics. Basically redoing most of it
- Than realize it might be a good idea to just release 2 EP's in a year.

oh... and also trying to get money into our company!

Now for better news... Sabah's very 1st HipHop compilation
So far the people / group thats gonna lace the album is:

SOUL CHAMBER

RAPSOUL

A.U.R.

DECIPHER

trying to get Kinabalu Kings into the fold... if i can find where they are at the moment.

all in all life's still messy as usual.

peep the link to my amp page to hear my stuff
