Partly because of the inspiration of Whitney H’s incomparable voice, I started creating some music this evening on Cubase LE5 and enjoyed the experience tremendously. After a lifetime of loving music as my favorite of all the arts, I’ve made a promise to myself to try to return to it in earnest and devote time to exploring it all over again- but now in the digital realm, instead of with a piano and a shelf of woodwinds.
Here’s to MIDI!
I am deeply saddened to have heard of the death of Whitney Houston, one of my all-time favorite vocalists, at age 48 at the Beverly Hilton hotel in southern CA this afternoon. Cause of her death has not yet been determined.
I have to say that in all honesty, I’m in mourning. Tomorrow afternoon will be the Grammy Awards presentation, and I intend to watch for the tributes paid to Whitney. In my lifetime I don’t think I’ve ever heard greater vocal talent than she and her cousin- Dionne Warwick- displayed. It ‘s at least a comfort for me to know that Dionne is still be able to create her magic.
First time in a while that I’m having trouble seeing straight, because of the tears that won’t stop….
From what has been initially posted regarding this new machine, it appears that I will be trying to get my hands on one sometime this spring if possible- the video capability of the D800 seems very comparable to that of the D4 at about 50% of the price.
For those like myself who already have an 11 FPS FX Nikon (the D3s), pairing with the D800 could be a very efficient way to shoot both stills and video for action and landscape/studio applications!
Now I need to decide whether to sell my right lung or my left lung.
