PC show

At the start of the 2nd half of 2009, PC show was organised in suntec again. The crowd wasn't to much till around late afternoons especially with students on their mid year breaks (how much i miss school only for holidays). Anyways, amidst the immaculate amount of people, stores on the 4th and the alternate higher level and papers that carpeted the entire grounds of the exhibition hall.

Epicentre this year decided to put up a stage to demo Garageband as part of their new products coming FREE! with mac notebooks and PCs. I didn't bring along my camera but there was a brief cover of Jason Mraz's number (you know which one) by just using a modelling instrument against the Garageband 09 version. The demo showed that the software was simple and they will sync in beat no matter wat kind of drums you mix with the guitar sounds.

Obscured slightly by the stage (which set up bowling pins and alley markers on the ground) was a small booth I supposed is operated by Citymusic. They were selling effect processors, miniature keyboards that can be hooked up to computers as well as using a normal guitar line-in to a computer. Very cool. Apart from a bunch of recording products and line 6's recording gear, i saw a series of Korg effects processor whereby you run your fingertips through the touch pad area and it alters your sound, similar to a expression pedal except in all directions. Not sure of the functions but be sure to see it's demo on youtube. Product details and check out related products.

Anyhows, the citymusic table has picks thrown all over, so my liking for free stuff made me grab abit.

The picks commemorate citymusic's 40th anniversary. Jim dunlop's pick was there to compare size. The white picks were actually glow-in-dark rather than what my crappy digi-cam took.

Do take some time to visit PC show, perhaps due to the downturn, prices might be really deep south to make you wanna boost the economy a little, ya?

After that, go to Marina Square to continue on the account of GSS.
