Freestyle Improvisation M-vave Smk-25 II GarageBand 8-bit Memories sound effects #mvave #smk25ii #garageband


(All links will open up in a new tab.)

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I'm really having fun with my new M-Vave SMK-25 II midi keyboard. I can use it with Apple GarageBand software, with the MacBook Pro M1 Pro I recently bought. I bought the MacBook Pro to easily edit the photos and videos I took with my Nikon camera. 

I tried other DAW but their free version kinda sucks. Makes me wary about the paid version. Some of them don't work with my MIDI keyboard. It was straightforward with GarageBand. I just plug in my SMK-25 and the keyboard works.


I have dabbled with Garageband on my iPhone, iPad, and MacBook Gold. I even made some music with it by using the virtual instruments available. Now, that I have the MIDI Keyboard, it feels much better with the tactile feel of the keyboard.  

I have wanted to learn to play the piano or keyboard for a long time. I also like listening to cool techno music. After getting the MIDI keyboard, I finally bought myself a cheap piano. With a keyboard piano, I don't have to plug into the computer to play.


I've been checking out the synthesizer keyboard and finally got my eye on the Yamaha Modx6+ version with 61 keys. At first, I was torn between the Korg Kross 2 and the Yamaha CK61 which was within my plan budget. When I saw the demo on the Modx6+, I was sold!

The guy doing the promo and demo played the sound I was interested in. That's why I believed that's what I really wanted. The problem is the pricing. In the end, spending more is much better than regretting later. You can always earn back the money. Lol. 


I chatted with someone commenting on one of my YouTube videos earlier and he was talking about saving money by selling old physical games he bought. I'm not saying he shouldn't but I always thought it's silly when you talk about saving but end up none the richer.

I re-sell stuff too and used part of the money to get new products. I don't consider it saving. It's just being smart. Getting rid of things you don't want and getting a new one. Money is there to be spent. That doesn't mean you don't save part of it. That's a different matter altogether. 


My philosophy is to be free of debt. Besides the daily bills, I don't have any debt. Okay, I still haven't finished paying my phone debt. Ending this June 2025. Just don't get into big debts that are difficult to pay or take too long to settle. 

Hoping to get the Yamaha ModX6+ and use it to learn piano and make music. I used to play the guitar in the 80s and make my own music. Stop playing after school. After a long time, I discovered my hands would numb and my fingers hurt. I can't even hold the newspaper or game controller for long.


Imagine dying in games because your fingers are numb and can't move. So far, I don't have a numbness problem while playing the piano. My fingers don't hurt too. Same as typing on this keyboard. My ultimate goal is to be able to make background music for my YouTube videos to avoid copyright!

I can sell my own background music with a license. I know some websites offer that.

a Singapore Vlog | Family Lunch Seoul Garden | Kodak Pixpro FZ55 #kodakpixprofz55 #singapore


(All links will open up in a new tab.)

Hey guys,

Check it out!

Yesterday, I went out for a late lunch with my family at Seoul Garden HarbourFront branch. It was a rainy afternoon, but we reached our booking time. While the rest of the family went to the restaurant, my nephew and I went to park the car. 

Parking spaces are always a problem in a shopping center, even during the holidays. We had to wait a while before finding a spot near the lift. Been a while since I last went to Harbour Front. We used to take ferries to Sentosa Island


We used to go to Sentosa to swim and picnics. I remember going there with my schoolmates to watch a rock concert. It's totally different now and they offer more for tourism. I haven't been to Sentosa since then. They have built part of it for the rich to live.

Singapore is a haven for the rich. It's not cheap to live in Sg. To live in sg, you need a job. Sound simple. That's why you have many foreigners working here. As a modern city, you need many workers to work and keep it running like a machine 24-7. 


I've wanted to test the Kodak Pixpro FZ55 camera that I recently bought. I'm impressed. I was afraid of stability while taking pictures and videos. You can set the camera to anti-shakiness. You still have to keep your hands from moving all over the place. 

Although there is still shakiness to the videos, it makes the videos edgy. I preferably set the mode to Auto. I like to concentrate on taking the pictures instead of dabbling with the settings. If you go out with people, they can be impatient when you're trying to use a camera to take that perfect picture.

People are so used to using their phones to quickly take photos that they forget the process. When I first got my Nikon Coolpix P950 camera and learned to use the camera, I started to enjoy taking pictures. I even started using the technique when using a mobile phone camera.

I began to notice things around me. I began to look at things from different angles and perspectives. I delve more into what I do with my camera and mobile phone camera. I like taking pictures of my food and posting them on Instagram and Facebook. 


Yesterday, I didn't take photos of my outing with my phone but concentrated on using the FZ55. Because the size is small, I just keep it inside my pocket. When I wanted to take photos, I pulled it out of my pocket and clicked!

In fact, I mostly use it to take videos. You can watch the videos here or on my YouTube channel. For the price, the FZ55 is definitely a bargain. You can use it for basic everyday photography and videography. And, I love editing videos using the free Microsoft Clipchamp software. 

I enjoyed my lunch and taking pictures and videos with the Kodak Pixpro FZ55!

my new m-vave smk-25 II midi keyboard and BandLab online daw #mvave #smk25ii #bandlab

 

(All links will open up in a new tab.)

Hey guys,

Check it out!

Have a quick listen! (The link doesn't work as I've deleted my account. They deleted and banned the music I made while using their sounds in the daw? You can listen to it on my YouTube video though.)

I've been testing some of the available DAW aka Digital Audio Workstation and finally found one I like for my Windows PC. 

What is DAW?

DAW stands for Digital Audio Workstation, and it's a type of software that allows users to work with MIDI and audio in music production: 

MIDI

DAWs can sequence MIDI data, and most allow MIDI controls to tune parameters during live editing. 

Audio

DAWs can record, edit, and mix audio tracks, and then bounce them into a single audio file. DAWs also host virtual instruments and effect plugins for processing and manipulating sounds. 

Workflow

DAWs have similar core tools but differ in their workflows and specializations. Audio engineers often develop proficiencies in specific DAWs based on personal preferences and needs. 

Some popular DAW options include: 

Ableton Live, Logic Pro, Pro Tools, FL Studio, GarageBand, Reaper, Reason, BandLab and Cubase.

To connect a MIDI keyboard to a DAW, you can: 

Download and install the MIDI keyboard's driver software.

Connect the MIDI keyboard via USB.

Configure the DAW with the MIDI keyboard.

Click here to get the latest deals on Midi Keyboard controllers on Amazon!

My new M-Vave SMK 25 II is connected to my Apple Macbook Pro m1 Pro and uses GarageBand. It comes free with your MacBook and there are so many sample music, virtual instruments, drum pads, and drum kits you can use to create your own music.

If you edit videos using iMovie on the Mac, you can create music for your own video without copyright problems. I did that for some of my YouTube videos. I didn't have a MIDI keyboard back then but just using the iPad. I also record videos using my iPad

Click here to check out the latest Apple product offers on Amazon!

I also have a Windows PC with a good sound system, so I looked for any free daw available. I downloaded and tried many but there are problems connecting to my midi keyboard. It was easy on the Mac and Garageband. So, my midi is not the problem.

I found an online site for a MIDI keyboard. I found one site named muted.io/piano It's a site for learning to play the piano. You can connect your MIDI keyboard and learn to play. But, it's not daw. you can't edit or record music. That's when I found BandLab.

Update:

I just found out that my first project on BandLab was banned and deleted for copyright infringement. Like what the fuck? I created music using the sound available on BandLab and they deleted it. I don't even understand their logic. The claimant is the company Bandlab itself. Lol.

I was planning to create another song but now, what's the point if they're gonna ban and delete it without even allowing me to contest the ban. I had to send an email to enquire about the ban. This is stupid and what's been happening to the Internet. Everything is ban ban ban. Wtf!

You won't be able to hear the music I uploaded to their site now. I've deleted my account. But, you can listen to the video above. Oh yeah, Garageband does have problems with copyright infringement too. I created music using my iPad and somebody claimed copyrights on it. Ffs!
