Project Talkbox. Episode 1.

Ok, so today I started to make my own Talkbox.

A talkbox is a vocal effect tool which you hook up to your instrument and with that, kinda controll your voice and pitch. Real talkbox's also have effects like extra vibrato but because I'm making my own, I won't have that.

Ok so what do you need? First of is a sound source, a pair of old computer speakers is enough. Some duct tape, two bowls (the other one a little bigger then the first one) and at last a tube!

Today, day one, I'll go through the first step, the audio source.

1. I found this old speaker in our basement which works perfectly. So first disassemble the speaker.


2. Ok, now it'll look like this. Ugly I know, so how do we get rid off the big ol' white plastic box? Well, just cut the cord in two.


3. Now, make the electrical pins visible so we can make the cord whole again, just use a simple now.



4. Now twist the pins back together and then tape it. Just like the picture.


5. Ok, now it's done! I also taped the two cords together after I taped them for themself. Just to be sure they won't fall apart.

That's all for today.
To Be Continued...

It's not an Iphone-killer, it's a small laptop.



Next friday, the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 is being released here in Sweden.

Alot of people talk about "Iphone-killers" and I'm so tired of hearing that when it comes to the X1.

The X1, is not an Iphone killer, it's more like a small laptop. With everything you need.
Touchscreen, full qwerty-keyboard (and no, not a fake on like Iphone, a REAL ONE), 3,2Mpix camera with support for video recording in 30fps, internet, gps, Microsoft Office and the list goes on and on.

On top of all the specs, it's beautiful, it's stylish and butch. It's all you ever need.

The interface is beautiful and very simple, through nine panels, which you can customize all you want (and download new ones, like appstore from apple, but now, panelstore from SE), you have a direct controll of what you need to make your life easier and more fun.

On the release, you will get the movie Hancock on the phone, isn't that just awesome!
A real media experience!
