  1. Name: Cezar Born: 1980-in Manila Philippines, raised in Sydney Australia. I started off singing or trying to anyway. Ok I wont lie, egos permitting, I happen to think my vocal chops are pretty good. Anyhow, in the initial stages backing tracks came in the form of Instrumentals found on CD singles. Therefore NOT A great variety of songs to pick from. Amongst other limitations, (songs key, arrangements, etc). I seeked to find out just exactly how these backing tracks were made. Of course then the MIDI fixation began. That was mid 2000 and I cant believe how much Ive picked up since. Well I still dont play keys terribly well and my drum programming only works if I play everything individually (hi-hat going one and two and 3 and 4- then kick and snare with fill overdubs)but I now know how to do some basic programming. Im working on a demo to send out in search for a deal. One question- If Im trying to showcase my vocals and songwriting, will production be a heavy factor in my demo??? Anyhow my style is Rnb. Difficult to liken to anybody as I so badly try to innovate. Sometimes try too hard and the general sound is just too wack? DOes that make sense? I mean sometimes conformity is a good thing. EG Dangelo's second album VOODOO great album but a little to left of the middle in my opinion. Anyways I bought a Technics KN 1400 in 2000,not knowing a damn thing about keys, all I knew was you needed some type of sequencer to capture the instruments. Im still using those keys, but am now saving desperately for a module. FYI ive decided I will get a Roland JV used obviously. I heard Savage Garden used it on their entire debut album. I record with a PC 1Ghz 256Ram running Cubasis 3.7 (cant wait for the CUbase 5 upgrade). Does anybody know what I will miss out on if I get the Cubase VST version and not Cubase VST 32??? I have cheap multimedia speaker, a DVD ROm to watch my Stevie Wonder DVDs, a Creative 32x Burner, a Tandy (which is the Australian version of your Radio Shack) mic and im perfectly happy it. It beats purchasing an Usher CD single and singing along to the instrumental and recording to a tape deck. Oh my soundcard is a GUillemot ISIS 8in. Motivation comes from my everchanging Desktop wallpaper. The rotation includes Alicia Keys, Jessica Alba, JAss or Jlo, Christina Aguilera, and a Yamaha Motif.
