Come join us this Friday, April 27, 2012, at 5PM for a vocal workshop and showcase hosted by Cat Wong of CatWongStudio.
“How can I help a singer achieve vocal success? How can he or she find their own unique voice?”
These are some basic questions Cat Wong, Honolulu vocal coach & instructor of Cat Wong Studio, must answer every time a client comes in for a session. Equipped with knowledge as a certified Speech-Level SingingTM (SLS) Instructor (Level 3) combined with 20+ years of off-and-on performing, 8 years of college-level teaching (Public Speaking & Critical Thinking), and a degree in Communication Studies, what better path is chosen than to pass on the right information to up-and-coming performers, musicians, and people who just want to sing. Period.
Speech-Level SingingTM (SLS) is an effective vocal training method that has been widely endorsed and practiced by over 120 Grammy Award winners, Broadway performers, and actors. Artists such as Stevie Wonder, Luther Vandross, Linkin Park, and Kelly Clarkson have used this method. Now this same method and wisdom is accessible to the local community as a way of helping others sing in a relaxed, healthy, effortless way all those songs that are “out-of-reach” or just seem too difficult to sing. If you have had your struggles or need more help, vocal lessons may be the key.
Cat has been mentoring voices since 2005 and has done commercial work, voice-overs, and is a community advocate for affordable housing.

The Roland Octa-Capture is one excellent piece of gear. Providing one with almost everything they might need for a start up studio. For one, it has very high quality converters allowing one to record at sample rates up to 192k on four channels. The unit itself can record up to 8 analog and 2 digital channels all at the same time using any of the other sample rates besides 192k. The most interesting feature of the Octa-Capture is its auto-sens feature. Essentially what it does is automatically adjusts the input to the optimum level. So when recording the levels are not to soft and they are not too loud. So in the end you’ll have tracks that are easy to work with. Then on top of that this interface can double as a live mixer. It can run as a stand alone unit or it can work with the computer and record the show at the same time. On top of that, to make thing easier, Roland included 40 bit DSP into the unit. It has a compressor for each analog channel for giving extra punch to kick drums or making the bass a little smoother live. They also included reverb for every channel to give vocals or acoustic guitars more depth. So if you need high quality solution for the stage and for studio the Octa-Capture is one of the few that could fit that bill. Something worth seeing.

For those of you out there who already own a straight style microphone stand, check out this Top-Mount Tele-Boom attachment from On Stage Stands. The MSA7040TB offers you the option of getting a little more height or clearance from your straight microphone stand. It fits onto all standard 5/8″ mic-stand threads and allows adjustment for angle and length. The telescoping portion of the boom collapses to 19″ and expands to 32.5″, allowing you to place the microphone further from the base.
Get the most out of your microphone stands by adding the MSA7040TB Telescoping Boom attachment!

Get great vocals for the keyboard player. Create vocal harmonies with just a microphone and a midi keyboard.
Human Voice type: Female Choir, Boys Choir, Gregorian Choir and Jazz Scat. Vocal Designer type: Duet, Trio 1, and Trio2. The vocoder has 3 different types.
If you are a keyboard player and want to help with the background vocals, try this box. Want to step out front with some Zapp & Rodger talk box effects without the tube in your mouth, try the vocoder. It sounds great with built in reverb and phantom power for condenser microphones.
The Roland VP-7…Like most of my posts, I want one. I think you will want one too.

Last month you heard the Avantone CV12 mic in action on an acoustic guitar. This month, please check out my demo with the Avantone CK1 microphone on an acoustic guitar. This is a great mic and is priced to sell. It outperforms a lot of higher end mics for a lot less $$. It is very affordable, and I’m sure you won’t be disappointed with the sound quality this mic has to offer. Check it out!
