I bought a very sexy thing the other day. A multi-effects box for vocalists. Wow! I can not only be a cyborg, wizard, alien or monster, but I'm learning how to programme it to do vaguely sensible stuff as well!
I have completely neglected my family and chores since I've got this thing. In fact, apparently, (according to the man who sleeps beside me) I was making sound effects noises in my sleep the other night. I didn't really understand that, but I have been working on a spooky breathing effect that makes me sound like a hyperventilating old witch, so I don't really want to probe any further as to what he meant.
But they are great, better than telly (not difficult). It's going to properly complicate my music making though, it's hard enough remembering whether I'm supposed to be singing or playing the melodica at any given time, let alone pressing the right button and avoiding some of the sillier sound effects whilst on stage! But I shall use it, dammit! It is my shiny new toy, and the icing on the cake is that it is sparkly and purple! I have yet to practise with it with actual other people - this might be a sobering experience as I'm sure, like most things, it's going to sound best in my own head, and not neccesarily the ears of others!
