LP Aspire Cajon additional recording percussion beat

LP stands for Latin Percussion for those who wants to know. I bought this new instrument called Cajon or back home in the Philippines specifically my hometown Roxas City, Capiz.... People calls this as Beat Box because it's like a box and you can create a beat out of it.

LP Aspire is well made and has got a nice finish in terms of colour, texture and polish. The sound quality is fairly decent especially for its price and category. I did get a chance to play and compare the sound of the LP Aspire in Guitar Central Southampton. Thanks to the guys there most especially Gary. It was a big help from you guys to letting me play with the Cajon, compare and decide which one to buy.

There were two LP Aspire there that I tried one was £99, sounds more on the treble side and then the £119 which I got was more on the bass side. This one is what I needed as we will be playing with just Acoustic and no bassist so with more bass sound coming from the Cajon, it would rather blend and balance our instruments.

I have tried as well putting a microphone inside, I am using Shure C606 and it didn't sound great but using a mic stand and positioning it about an inch away from the sound hole of the Cajon and it delivers the sound I want. Alternatively, if you are a serious wood percussionist and wanted a great sound use Shure PG57 or 58 and Im sure you'll be very happy with its outcome.

All in all, the LP Aspire is worth buying especially with a tight budget, this Cajon won't disappoint you.

My Mobile Recording Studio

My mobile laptop recording studio This does not mean having a portable handheld recording device and also this is not the proper recording studio, which have all the complete amenities and gear but what I mean when I say Mobile recording studio is that this is something that can be transferred to any location and set up as quickly as you can. Like for example, in my case, I don’t have a proper recording studio or room to record so sometimes I’m doing it in our lounge or other times I will set it up in our dining area or sometimes in our bedroom. Also by saying mobile recording studio, in any case I’m moving to another place I can easily pack up things and bring it with me like for example I’m here in England as of now and if ever I’m going back home in the Philippines after my contract expires, I can easily bring my recording studio gear and equipment back home. So, this is not an on-site recording studio or a portable recording studio this is just my own mobile l...

One Love for Abra Charity Concert at The Star of Kings London

Had a wonderful time doing a charity gig for Abra, an island back home in the Philippines where children there are too eager to learn, however, they don't have a proper or decent school to study and no school supplies. The project was very successful. Port Mallilin and Carol Panday invited artists from Pilipino Musikero sa UK and loads pledged their support. Also among the acts were Arisxandra Libantino, the pride of Filipinos in Britain who was one of the finalists. I am the guitarist of Crossedwind and we are dubbed as the House Band during the gig. We opened the event and then we were the closing act. It was a fun night. There were some challenges though. Like for example, although myself and Ashley (sound director) were early to set up the amps and instruments, the pub's sound guy didn't like that we brought guitar, bass, and keyboard amps because it's going to be too loud. He just want us to use their monitor speakers and house spea...

Front Act on Introvoys Concert in Roxas City

We were invited to do a front act on Introvoys Concert in Roxas. During those time, Introvoys was a big hit especially with their song Line To Heaven and Will I Survive to name afew. There were a lot of bands that time who's going to front act and I can't remember exactly the names but there's one that I can still remember and it's called Freaky Deaky, not sure if the spelling is correct. They sang Nirvana, Offspring, Collective Soul, etc. where they almost consume the entire time for all the frontacts. We were the last band and the organizer asked us to cut short with our setlist and we ended up with just 3 songs. We were not pleased but anyhow, we still chose our 3 best songs and that were Only Wanna Be With You by Hootie And The Blowfish where I was the one who sang it, To Be With You by Mr. Big and our bassist, Dolores sang it then our last song was Hotel California by Eagles where Jingle and I blend together at the ending guitar solo and Louie sang it. The crowd...
