write a review for anything. But this time it's different. As much as I hate writing, I want to.

The time I first ran into Saosin was about less than a year ago. Yes, it can't even come close compared to the time I've known Backstreet Boys(eww). But since then, their influence have been growing fast in me. I love Cove Reber's high pitched voice. I think his voice suits Saosin more than the previous Anthony Green. And don't even mention the drums...Alex is a prodigy! But I dont know how well will they perform live though. I hope they will make another trip to Japan. I was so disappointed with myself for missing their Tour in Japan last year.

Today, I spent almost an hour listening to all of the songs from their latest album. I've always been listening to their songs but today I think they deserve a little bit of my attention and time. My favourite songs are no doubt Voices and You Are Not Alone. The drums and the harmonized vocals can easily make one achieve orgasm (even guys). Of course the guitars are awesome too!


"Those who haven't listen to Saosin have no slightest idea about screamo/alternative rock music"


That's my line for their music~

And the marks of course!








*drum rolls*












*more drum rolls*





tada!

8.2 out of 10

No I don't usually rate above 8. So you see...It's really worth to get their original CD.(Sorry guys, I'll make sure I buy an ori for the next album) To show even more support, I've bought one of their T-shirts online~



And I want more! But heck no one's selling them in Japan. You can only find a few, and they dont look good enough to me. Maybe I'll just order from the states when I have more money in my pocket...

That's all for today, thanks for reading.

Lately I am so much into computer music. I mean not just listening to it but also I feel like composing a few pieces. But it's hard to get started, to be really honest. My busy schedule aside, it required pretty much motivation to finally install FL studio in my computer.

Ok, I got FL Studio icon on my desktop now. I can create music directly from my mind and make it visible. FL Studio is that good.

So check it out -> FL Studio

But still, even with all the tools needed to create a music piece, I have to go through all the obstacles like geek jargons and all the difficult-to-understand settings. But this time I am serious so it's just a matter of time before I compose my first music. Man I just can't wait till that moment!!

To start things off I've tweaked my audio settings a little. Instead of Windows DirectSound drivers I'm using the ASIO4ALL, which is a free ASIO(Audio Stream Input Output) driver.


Why?


Good question. According to FL Help,

"ASIO drivers give the better performance in terms of CPU efficiency. ASIO is also a prerequisite for audio recording. "

And that's true. I've tested both of them(ASIO driver and DirectSound). With music playing on the background, I tried to minimize FL Studio to my taskbar. When I set to ASIO4ALL there wasn't any lag but I can hear the lag if I switch to DirectSound. It was obvious.

That's just a simple example of the differences between both drivers. Another thing I like about ASIO4ALL is the buttons to switch between Advanced and Simple mode.





Besides that I'm thinking of getting a better sound card and headphones, despite my terrible financial status..

Yes! Another horoscope session! I can never get enough of it!


"Inquisitive and energetic, the Sagittarian is the traveler of the zodiac. Their philosophical, broad-minded approach to life motivates them to wander far and wide in the search for the meaning of life. Extroverted, optimistic and enthusiastic, it can be almost impossible to keep the Sagittarian down. They love change. In fact, change is essential for this sign to feel their best"


You know what, I think Sagittarius is the best sign out there!

Fat people have been blamed for consuming more food than they need. Some of them just eat like there is no Africa, thus contributing to the food crisis.

Now being fat is also a no-no because it indirectly accelerates the process of global warming, it seems.
