Make “Home Time” Interesting!

How are you doing with your “Stay Home Time”? Recently, “Stay Home Time” has been increasing considerably. You would like to enjoy your " Stay Home Time", wouldn’t you?

So!

I would like to introduce some ideas to make your "Stay Home Time" more interesting!

1. Start a musical instrument

When you see your favorite musician performing, don't you sometimes think "It would be fun if I could play a musical instrument like that?" Actually, it's really fun! I think the acoustic guitar is the easiest instrument to start with, because you don't need an amplifier, cables, effect pedals, etc.; all you need is an instrument. Also, there are many online lesson videos.

PLAYTECH(ZENN）/ ZS18 Sunburst

Achieves amazing cost performance, and this is truly recommended for beginners. The shape, called Triple O, is easy to hold even for children.

2. Home karaoke

The next one is for those of you who want to sing, rather than play a musical instrument. However, you need to be a little bit careful singing at home. This item helps with this situation!

PROIDEA / UTAET

It mutes your voice by about 1/3 simply by singing it with the UTAET placed over your mouth. It enables you to sing at home! If you wear the earphone on the other end, you can hear your natural singing voice without the bone conduction that travels through the bones, allowing for more effective voice training. Also, it is expected to reduce daily stress and burn calories.

3. Podcasting

A lot of live concerts have been cancelled recently . . . I believe it is a very hard time for gigging musicians. And I think a lot of you have already started, but podcasting is the best solution in this situation! You can podcast with only an iPhone or smartphone, but sound quality is not that good. The Mikme enables podcasting with high sound quality!

Mikme / Mikme

It is perfect in appearance, sound quality and function! The large golden diaphragm seen through the cool black housing speaks volumes about how good the sound quality is. Pls check out the video on the product page (click on the image) to hear the difference between an iPhone microphone sound and the Mikme sound! The MIKME also supports Bluetooth, allowing you to shoot movies in high sound quality by syncing with the iPhone’s video function.

4. Create & record music

This is a big chance to create and record music! For those who haven't made or recorded music using DAW software, it is a good opportunity to start. It costs you a little to get the recording equipment, but once you have it, you can use it for a long time. DAW software also inspires you to better ideas during production. At first, you can just start with the minimum required equipment, then add other equipment needed along the way.

AKG / C414 XLS

For the microphone, I will recommend AKG / C414 XLS. It comes with a case, shock mount, pop guard, and windscreen. Equipped with 9-stage directivity switch, low cut, and 4-stage PAD, it can be used in a variety of situations.

M-AUDIO / AIR 192|4

For the audio interface, the AIR 192|4 from M-AUDIO is a good place to start. It has 1 mic input and 1 line input. Equipped with the Crystal low noise preamplifier and high precision A/D converter, the sound quality is also good. Since Pro Tools / Fist M-Audio Edition and Abelton Live Lite are bundled with the interface, you can start recording music from the day you get it.

AKG / K240 Studio

AKG’s standard headphones. The K240 has been widely used in studios all over the world. They feature a natural sound, covering a wide range. They also look gorgeous! They have been loved by many professionals even considering that the price is reasonable.

Now, don’t you think staying at home is more fun? I hope you will enjoy music during your “Stay Home Time”. Let's do our best to overcome this situation!
