I got a new cool toy for Christmas from my dad, well technically it’s for both my hubby and me but it’s mine.

It’s an H2 sound recorder. It has 2 high quality mics and it can record in 2 channels or 4. I can hook It directly into my laptop and use it as an external mic or it can record directly to an SD card.

I used the H2 to record some music on Christmas when we had some family over and we jammed for a bit. I record directly into a program called Audcity. The program let’s you edit and export music in multiple formats. I’m pretty excited about getting to hear our progress as we continue to practice.

Well thankfully there is a whole series on how to dance to Dubstep! Let’s watch shall we?

This one is a little creepy.

I still like lots of other genres of music including rock, classic rock, trip hop, some rap, some classical, dance, techno, well just about everything but Country, ick.

However no one I know has heard of Dub. I’m not even sure how to explain it. It seems to be an infusion of many different musical genres, with a strong focus on drums and Reggae.

Give a listen.

The above video is from a website called Dub Session. They make their own mixes. There are several different kinds of Dub. I really enjoy this type of music when I’m reading or playing on the computer. I find the Dub relaxing but also lively at the same time.
Something about how they take music from lots of different sources and mix them to make a new kind of music. Unfortunately the misuse of copyright law makes it hard for artists.

Sometimes this little flash player works, sometimes it doesn’t. If it’s working for you, give it a listen!
