I had bought iMic during the last visit to Australia. My PowerBook G4 does not come with an inbuilt microphone and for recording purposes I had to get this little gadget. Since then I have used it extensively for recordings, skype, etc. However, it was only yesterday that I optimized its full potential.
In 2001, from my first savings, I bought an Enbee music system. It consisted of a second hand amplifier (1977 model), a modest tape player, and brilliant speakers. The speakers were the most expensive of the lot. All three of these contraptions have their own lives, characters, and personalities. Since the very beginning, I just loved the fact that music wasn't a button away. The system is such that is requires constant engagement, to think about the wiring, the balance, the modulation. Also, because it was essentially a tape player (CD could be attached seperately), we (my flatmate and I) when we initially got the system and had no other social life would ponder over which tapes to play, in what order, what sides. We would have long discussions to and fro from work about which tape to pick out when and in what sequence. We sometimes even made long calls from our respective offices about the music we would play when we got back.
I am not sure it was since then or I had always been like that but I just love the old tapes. Don't get me wrong, I have a decent CD collection and a more than decent mp3 collection populated through years of begging, borrowing, and stealing. However, I still like to think about which music to play when. I like the whole process of going through tapes or CD's for that matter, reading the listings, the biographies, connecting with the memories that particular tape/cd evokes in me. It is for this reason, I will never buy a iPod or similar mass music storing and playing devieces. I can never listen to music casually, while on the plane, driving, reading, etc. I need to have the right seat, right book, right frame of mind, cigrattes on the right, ash tray in the flicking distance, a drink.
However. The point about iMic and Enbee (I haven't been able to find any relevant links for Enbee) is that yesterday I used my iMic to add stereo input to my computer. The brilliant thing is that through their software, Final Vinyl, I could record my old tapes in digital formats. These are the tapes/collection which are difficult to come by these days. If you get them, they are in the collection of thousands of mp3 all hurdled together.
It's nothing dramatic but I am just so kicked anyway for those small moments when I can sit with my enbee, plug in something, and breath new life into old songs!!
