Please help! A guide to vocal warm-ups?

Posted on April 30th, 2011 by admin

It’s been a while since I’ve sang for anything but the dust in my car, but I seem to have landed a singing gig. Can someone give me a refresher on how to warm up for rehearsals and performances? Thanks so much!

Congrats!!! Here are some great warm up videos!

I need a 10 GIG TRANSCEIVER, to connect two switches?

Posted on April 24th, 2011 by admin

2960S switch has got 10 Gig Up-link and I need to connect it to an existing Cisco 3750 E series Switch.
What connector should i use? BTW my budges is tight and both the switches are going to be on the same rack, so i do not need a fiber based connector. I prefer a copper or any other connector but a 10GIG TRANSCEIVER.. can someone guide me as to what connector i should use.

You are saying transceiver, do you mean the GBIC ?

There is a Cisco compatible 10 GB GBIC for sale on Ebay

http://cgi.ebay.com/Cisco-Compatible-XENPAK-10GB-LX4-GBIC-Ethernet-Module-/120568163806?pt=COMP_EN_Networking_Components&hash=item1c126c2dde

At $100 this is about $600 cheaper than buying one from Cisco. I have not seen any 10 GB copper type of connectors. You might also have to have an attenuator on the transmit side of the laser so that it does not burn out the opposite sides receiver.

I don’t really see why you would need 10 GB, likely you could just use etherchannel and group together 3 or 4 of the 1 G ports and create a 4 GB connection between the switches and then use short lengths of CAT6A cabling.

How do I wipe a HD totally out for use as a slave drive?

Posted on April 21st, 2011 by admin

I have found one of my old HD, 140 gig’s and I want to use it for on pc as a slave drive. How do I wipe it clean and have it clear? It has a old windows on it and lots of other junk. I tried to hit format, but it says that the system is using the current files. And I just can’t straight out delete everything one by one. It says files locked or being used. Please guide me through this. I am using XP.

Thank You!!

It won’t let you format it if you’re using it to boot. I suggest booting into a live/install CD environment because then files run from the cd and you can format

gparted is a good one: http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php

have you ever been on your period for a festival/gig? (pad users..) and tampon users too thats fine?

Posted on April 19th, 2011 by admin

ok so i’m going to the reading festival this year (woo!) and my period is VERY irregular so knowing my luck i’ll probably be on for it.
thing is i’m struggling with tampons atm. just wanted to know wether i should just keep trying with them until i succeed or just wear a pad..
stories? what am i to expect? what shall i take etc?

tampons for most people are really hard to get the first time. even after you get it, you still have those moments when it just won’t go in. if, when the festival comes, you’re still having difficulty with tampons, just use a pad. you don’t want to have to worry about leakage or the string breaking or anything else instead of having an AWESOME time. if you’re not sure you’re comfortable wearing the tampon, don’t. just wear a pad. it’s not like anyone else will know. Kotex tampons are easy to put in and super comfortable by the way (they’d be good to try if you’re really struggling with putting one in). and if you’re worried about the pad showing I’d suggest always infinity pads because they’re really light and you won’t even notice that it’s there. I hope I’ve been of help and I hope you have a good time at the festival :)

Is a live magic show for a "first date" lame?

Posted on April 14th, 2011 by admin

Met this hot chick speed dating last week and she want to catch up for an official first date. Now the only days she was available this week was Wednesday and Thursday nights, so I checked the gig guide and the only thing thats on in the city is a live magic show. We’ve both never been to one before so it might be fun, but is it too informal? Didn’t wan’t the cliched dinner and movie date. Thats lame! Need some opinions. Thanks.

A magic show could be romantic, especially if the performer’s any good. Hey, why not look up a few simple card tricks or something to show her too. At least you’ll stand out.

Posted on April 13th, 2011 by admin

I’ve been using a Yamaha PSR-3000 for about 5 years now, I also use the M-Audio Axiom 61 with Ableton Live 8 for home studio use…but i want a new keyboard for live gigs…I need something hands on and something with really nice tones/patches especially in the area of Pianos,E.pianos,Organs,bass and clavs (I’m into Jazz,blues and rock basically)….I want it to be portable as well..and not too expensive…something below 2000$. ( i want something below 70,000Rs actually)
So if you’ll can please help me out the some keyboard models and at least the company i should lean towards for the hands on approach and the good patches and all that..! I’ve been trying to search a lot but i’ve started to get frustrated now because all the good ones seem really expensive..off course i do not know all the keyboards out there, so please help me and point me in the right direction ! Thank you soo much !

Roland Juno-DI would be a good choice

How to get gigs as a high school (underage) band?

Posted on April 11th, 2011 by admin

I’m in a band with 4 people (a lead vocalist/rhythm guitarist, keyboardist, bassist, drummer). We live in Mississauga, a town close to Toronto Ontario. We are all currently underage so we cannot play in bars right? We play indie pop. What would be good gigs for a band like that?

All-ages venues, skateparks, local high schools, talent shows, battle of the bands competitions, churches, etc. Plenty of choices for you. Sometimes bars offer all-ages shows, but the drinks and stuff are only for 21+ people, so you could technically play bars if they offer all-ages shows.
