One of my favorite songs ever from Enya…

This is not music-related per se (although the music in the video is definitely beautiful), but as a longtime believer in space exploration in general and NASA in particular, I simply had to post this concerning NASA budget cuts…

This is nothing short of impressive, both in terms of music and the visuals

Ever since I heard that Vocaloid Miku would be released in an English version, I have been keenly interested.  It had been a while since I last heard any news on this front, so I went searching for info and came upon a demo of her voice at 70% project completion.  While the mixing of the demo (see video below) has some definite issues in my opinion, what I can hear of the English Miku voice is sweet!

I fear that the English version of Hatsune Miku will be quite expensive, especially if a Vocaloid 3 voice, but from what I hear in the demo, the expense would be quite worthwhile

I have previously mentioned Groove 3 here, and thought I would mention them again, in part because they released a new video today on why Groove 3 was started 10 years ago.  So as to not steal their thunder, all I will say here is, “Watch the video!”

I can personally vouch for Groove 3 videos, especially the Reaper 3 Explained video.  I had just decided to jump from Music Maker to Reaper, and a few days later discovered Reaper 3 Explained and gave it a try.  I learned so much in that video series that I very quickly mixed “3AM on the Mulsanne” far faster than I would have if I had tried to learn Reaper entirely on my own.

Although it has admittedly been a while since I bought anything else from Groove 3, I do keep my eyes on the site and their occasional e-mails so that I can jump on new videos of interest, and I suggest that others do the same – the financial investment is definitely worthwhile!
