I wonder how the ASEAN integration will affect the Cebu guitar industry in the country. For one thing, the financial crisis doesn’t really affect the businesses significantly in the past year because of the continuous demand from local and foreign tourists. I am sure that history will prove favorably and the fact that Cebu was known for its people, its guitar craftsmanship, affordability and quality of products, and that the lead guitar remains to be the number one thing to buy in Cebu especially by the tourists. This is in spite of the availability of some China-made guitars and new companies emerging such as the arturia at Guitar Center, for instance.

Edward Bulwer-Lytton said that “music, once admitted to the soul, becomes a sort of spirit, and never dies.” In the advent of new technologies such as the internet and social media networks, music ranges even from long play, cassette tapes, cd’s and now mp3s along with other music formats. They are still playing and remain part of our everyday lives. From the record bars to online music stores as they are today, music will remain and last forever.

Today’s age makes sound mixing as easy as a walk in the park because of the availability of launchpad novation performance instrument. My grandfather used to manage a band during the 70’s and they performed live almost every week.  A complete band are composed of more than five members. This consists of a lead guitar, guitarist, base, drummer and keyboard player. But classic band groups even have more members, even though the Beatles influenced bands having only four members. Today, with the help of this Launchpad, you can have live sound support with just a snap.

After I saw Eraserheads’ latest advertisement for a telecommunication company, I realized that I am, after all, one of those millions of their fans who have been really wanting to see them performing together again. I just want to see them maybe with angus young sg guitar playing their iconic song “Huling El Bimbo”, “Pare Ko” among others. Although they already had their reunion concert previously, I believe they deserve a repeat. It would also be great to launch another album together especially these days. 

We been searching for the best yet affordable microphone for recording. As many may be aware, there’s a lot of microphones in the market today but the question is, which one will really serve your needs? There’s a microphone for professionals like rode microphone, and another microphone which is considered as the best and the finest in the industry. But in buying one, we must consider the microphone’s other features such as impedance, phasing, output and sensitivity. Sometimes, being the best comes with the price but for as long as it is perceived to be valuable, then it’s worth can be justifiable.
