Frozbyte Concert in Amigo Hotel Iloilo

We were invited in Iloilo by Brewsky's Bar to do a concert and it was held in Amigo Hotel Hall. We didn't realize it was a big concert because we thought or feel like there was not much of promotion for our concert.  Anyways, Jojo Lao, owner and manager of Mariano's Grill and Restaurant was the one who booked this gig for us and we are from Roxas City Capiz, that's why may be we did not know the marketing and/or promotion side of the show because we're from next town.

I can't remember exactly our line up but the band had additional members, Franklin was on percussion using bongo, timbales, cowbells and chimes. Then, back up singers, Jojo himself and Devon, where they did some songs themselves.

There were also loads of Capiznon who witnessed and partied with us during that gig who are studying in Iloilo that time, mostly from Central Philippine University and St. Paul's Iloilo because the school is quite near the hotel.

Our opening song was Sunchyme by Dario G but with a twist, Jojo was singing Life In A Northern Town and The Promise mixed together, then the rest of us were chanting just like the ones in Sunchyme.  I love the keyboards part and the percussion part of the song.  The crowd went wild that night, some girls were ledge dancing, screaming, enjoying the groove especially with the song Living La Vida Loca by Ricky Martin. Again same line up of songs, INOJ's Time After Time version and Love You Down, Hey by Fatima Rainey, Together Again by Janet Jackson, September and Let's Groove by Earth, Wind and Fire and many more like Buttercup, Give It Up, Tenderness, Celebration, I Will Survive, You To Me Are Everything.... Mike Francis hits like Friends and Let Me In and a lot more.

Again our instruments and amplifiers were Korg X5 into Marshall keyboard amp, RJ black strat copy into Fender Super Champ amp, Fender Precision Bass into Carlsbro bass amp, Pearl Drum Kit with Gibraltar hardware, Zildjan set of cymbals and Paste splash, Peavey 20-channel mixer and JBL PA system.

We stayed overnight in the hotel because they gave us a complimentary room.  It was fun staying in the hotel after the gig, living like a rockstar overnight. It was memorable to me that gig.

My first recording experience

I went to Norwich, a couple days back with my band, Crossedwind, to record our original compositions.  We've been exchanging on the net about ideas and backing tracks on our songs.  We made use of our celphones, recording our raw materials... pretty rough record but we managed  Then, I keep doing the backing tracks so that my bandmates can rehearse the song whilst Im away because I live here in Southampton.  To cut the story short, we almost managed to practise and finalised our songs virtually. We have four songs to record, so I arrived in Norwich last May 22 at around 6 pm, went straight to Earth Studio to rehearse.  It was like an overnight practise and then due for recording the following day.  We struggled a little bit, because backing tracks was far from doing the real thing with my bandmates.  There were changes made from intro, on how the adlib would sound, up to how we'll do the ending of the songs and so forth.  Even after our rehe...

EnergyXT comes with a flashdrive

EnegyXT comes with a portable drive or what we call flash drive.   In there are necessary files to run EnergyXT to any computer from a desktop or a laptop or a netbook as long as you got access to USB. The files that we need to copy are: clips presets projects samples temp\ energyXT2.exe energyXT.ini lame.exe libaam.dll xt.lck     energyXT2 VST.dll      energyXT.ini And paste these files in the program files with your folder EnergyXT then create a desktop shortcut or copy the shortcut onto your desktop.   The more you update your EnergyXT the more files will be included like rexloader, etc. You can now hop from one computer to another always make sure to keep your flashdrive safe and secure. This is what Im doing now, from Dell Inspiron to Sony Vaio to my wife's HP mini.  Really portable and handy.
