MTV LAUNCH FIRST DAY SATURDAY 12:01 am AUGUST 1st , 1981 1st hour Part 1
Ladies and Gentlemen …..Rock and Roll…. On August 1, 1981, at 12:01 am, MTV: Music Television launched with the words “Ladies and gentlemen, rock and roll,” spoken by John Lack. Those words were immediately followed by the original MTV theme song, a crunching guitar riff written by Jonathan Elias and John Petersen, playing over a montage of the Apollo 11 moon landing. With the flag having a picture of MTVs logo on it. MTV producers Alan Goodman and Fred Seibert used this public domain footage as a conceit, associating MTV with the most famous moment in world television history.[5] Seibert said they had originally planned to use Neil Armstrong’s “One small step” quote, but lawyers said Armstrong owns his name and likeness, and Armstrong had refused, so the quote was replaced with a beeping sound. At the moment of its launch, only a few thousand people on a single cable system in northern New Jersey could see it.

2 commentsMy first composition in Ableton Live Lite 8 (movie soundtrack demo)
My first composition in Ableton Live Lite 8. I made this music in less than 4 hours on 12jan2011 This Ableton Live Lite software came with my Behringer UMX-61 keyboard which I have for some years now, I had never used the included Ableton software though, so I thought lets give it a try… because it was the first time ever that i used Ableton, I quantized everything maually, because I didn’t know where the quantize-button was
E-piano, synths, guitar, drums I will eventually buy either Steinberg Cubase or Cakewalk Sonar, however because I have Roland hardware and Sonar is cheaper I think it’s going to be Sonar Update: I’ve bought Sonar
iPod Nano (2010) first hands-on! [HD]
Here it is, the new (and completely redesigned) iPod nano. Super thin, super light, and really, the capacitive multitouch works very well. The screen is crisp and top menu navigation is smooth, but can’t say we have great feel for moving back out of sub menus (via swipe or holding down the screen). We’re going back for seconds and thirds, peep the initial gallery below! Update: Okay, we’ve gotten much more quality time with the nano, and we’ll admit that after some brief practice, the menu navigation is nice both going in and out of menus — holding the middle will take some getting used to, if only because you gotta avoid any other on-screen items that beckon for your digits. Probably due to the small size of the screen, there is no pinch-to-zoom for photos. Instead, we’re using a simple double-tap motion to a fixed zoom in / zoom out distance. The clock app has a very easy-to-read analog style to it, and swiping across the screen will give you a stopwatch and timer. There is no alarm clock, however, which as the Apple rep explained to us was a design decision given its lack of an external speaker. Bummer, as it’s the perfect size to strap on a band and use as a wristwatch — a fitting thought, too, given one of the settings will let us see the time every time we wake up the screen. Check out our video tour after the break. via engadget.com forosadvance.es
