Promotion Birthday request: give my music a listen 🎂🎶

1 Upvotes

September is my birthday month, so I’m making a shameless little birthday request 😭

I only have one original song and some collabs out right now, but I’m planning to release more music this year. I actually went on a bit of a hiatus from making music, and I realized…I really do want to keep doing this.

So I’m slowly getting back into it and trying to put my music out there again.

If you have a spare minute, I’d really appreciate you giving my song a listen. Even one stream means a lot to me. 🥹

Anyway, happy birthday to me I guess, and thank you in advance!!! 🥳

General Question Where to have left handed guitar setup?

1 Upvotes

I have a RJ stratocaster and my past guitars tend to break down cause of either humidity in ph or importing the guitar caused damage to parts. Its rare to see a fully setup guitar on display here in the philippines while in other countries they are already setup fine with no extra cost. I need to know luthiers or stores in metro manila that can appropriately and safely setup my left handed guitar well without overspending. Thank you.

Hello!

Can you recommend someone that specializes in bass-baritone voices? I am a long-time chorister but would really love to enhance my voice more and improve my singing techniques. I know I have a lot to improve upon but I would also like that person to make me more comfortable with my range and voice type.

Thank you so much!

General Question How do I get my guitar to my ears as cheap as possible

3 Upvotes

hi hope theres no judgement, gustong gusto mag start ng electric guitar just to play songs that i like (steve lacy, malcolm todd). im eyeing a clifton pioneer which i can get for around 4500 without the amplifier and 6000 if meron as a set from the same shopee shop.

however i just want to know my options kung if i can just get the guitar then buy something cheaper so i can save up for it faster and play sooner. not necessarily an amplifier since probably most of the time naka earphones ko lang sya gagamitin since at night usually ang free time ko, thank you

This is just my 2nd option. Tanong ko lang po kung worth it po ba yung gantong case. I'm already vouching for my hard case this year. And after that, I'm planning to buy another case pero hindi na yung very heavy duty. Kahit ganyan lang sana.

Okay po ba yan? 🥹 Or should I look for others?

Hi there! So I have a Yamaha PSR E453 keyboard na hindi ko magamit gamit kasi sira yung cable niyang ganito(I pulled this out connecting from my contact boards to the motherboard), hindi rin ako makabili ng replacement dahil wala akong mahanap through online shops. Is there any shops you can recommend na pwedeng pagbilhan nito? Though I prefer online para di hassle magpunta kung saan saan, any suggestion will do. Thank you!

Hello guys! I’m a 2nd year college student (19F) around Manila, and I’m trying to find people to form a band!!!!

I’m mainly a keyboardist, but I can also play guitar and do backup vocals. I’m not that experienced yet though 😭

I’m into pop-rock, grunge, alt, and OPM, and I’d love to find people who are down to jam, do covers, and eventually make original music!

Looking mainly for a vocalist, drummer, bassist, and guitarist, but honestly I’m open to anyone who’s interested. DM me if you’re down! :D

Sana makatulong sa mga naghahanap ng budget friendly acoustic guitar magagamit for gigs,busking or even gitarang bahay lang. Its not "the best sounding guitar" but for its price sobrang worth it na.

Size 36 inches (traveler size)

All mahogany body (laminate)

Cherub Gtone GT2 preamp with tuner

I'm using an audio mixer to record plugged in sound.

Equipped with D Addario XS (11-52 best strings I've tried so far, worth it for its price)

Instruments & Gear Talk Thoughts on Sennheiser e835 vs. Mojave MA-D?

1 Upvotes

I couldn’t choose between the two for recording both vocals and acoustic guitar. My former dynamic mic was a Behringer XM8500 and I find that SM58 sounds just as warm as the XM8500.

I need something more with clarity without paying an SM7B price!

Let me know your thoughts and suggestions!

General Question Any suggestions for gig productions in Cavite?

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I think this is the most appropriate channel that I could find regarding my concern. Can someone hook me up with a good gig productions that I can reach out to?

I'm a songwriter/musician that's been playing and writing songs for more than 10 years now, and lately i've been stuck with corporate and want to rekindle my lost passion.

I'm a home grown of Metro Manila and I've played several gigs, had decent bands that played around QC, Makati, and Parañaque through out my career. But given the life experience I had, I've settled in Cavite with my partner.

So suggestions would really greatly help. Many thanks in advance. 😊
