Never forget your first band

My first band back home in the Philippines was and is Frozbyte. As the saying goes, "Never forget your first band" because that's where you first experience the hype, the thrill and the endless energy and effort of doing something from one sacrifices to another especially money and time.  Most of us were Nursing Students when we started to re-group and make Frozbyte a serious band and booked gigs from one after the other i.e. School gigs, special occasions, birthday parties, etc. and that’s why members keep changing and adding up coz after we graduated most of the original members worked abroad.

Louie, a nurse, our lead vocals and is now in New York. John2x, a nurse, our drummer and is now in Florida. Dolores, accountancy graduate, former bassist that became our second female lead singer after Anelyn... and is in Roxas City, Capiz happily married with two kids. Jingle, a marketing graduate, is our famous lead guitarist that sounded like Steve Vai and/or Joe Satriani is now in Manila, a call center agent. Shane, electrical communications engineer, is the youngest in the band and is our very best bassist by far who plays like Flea and even sounds like Flea. He loves RHCP (Red Hot Chili Pepper) and RATM (Rage Against The Machine) and is in Roxas City, Capiz. We had two additional vocals when Louie went abroad and Dolores got married. They are Ruby and Rommelle. Ruby, a nurse is now in the Middle East while Rommelle is a nautical graduate who concentrated more on his band and is doing well in the Philippines as a singer, guitarist and keyboardist. Derrick Ray, a Management Accountancy graduate, our sessionist keyboardist and also sessionist bassist. As for me, I’m a nurse myself who still loves music, plays the guitar, keyboards, drums and a little bit of this and that, and now working in England as a Senior Health Care Assistant. Lastly, a special member of the group named Blue does the research for our songs and is also our critic in our performance and sound.

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.
