The songs of our life, or is it life is a song?

Emotions are what makes us the unique creatures that we are.  We cry when we feel sad and we laugh when we are happy, and one of the things that shows just how emotional we are is through this thing called singing.  Call me a hopeless romantic, but even Boy Bato who is known for his cold-heart and seemingly lifeless stare will hum you a tune or Annie Batumbakal has her own tune to dance to.   Yes, in fact, think about it, when you broke up with your very first honey, was there not a song that constantly played in your head that either made you run to the bathroom or run out the door with the excuse that you just “need to go”?  Or how about that song that made you feel that tingle run up your spine when you met “the one”?

Yes, singing has been our way of celebrating our moments in life, or under the circumstances, has made us mourn over what we consider that “oh my God, why me?” moment.  Singing in fact has been one of the better ways for us to express our repressed emotions.  Singing is a therapy for the brokenhearted, and singing too is his own special way of making the words “I love you” even more meaningful.  There is nothing in this world that cannot be better expressed with a melody and tune, and we are the only creatures in the earth who can croon with a beautiful melody and words that truly touches the heart.

With the advent of the Age of Karaoke and Magic Mic, almost everyone has found their muses and realized that they are singers.  Emotional creatures that we are, we have found ourselves releasing every single strand of frustration and every ounce of happiness through the songs we sing.   In my terms, except in rare occurrences, singing has been our non-violent reaction to what life throws our way, stones and bread and all!

As I have found out, our life is a song.  Like the tunes we belt out, it has its high notes and low notes, but the ending is that smooth finish, happy or sad.  This is how life truly is depending on the choices that we make and thank God for songs, there is a choice of what songs we would like to sing all our lives!

In this generation of multimedia communication, high-definition gadgets, broadbands and wifis, computer-operated machineries and ultra-modern gizmos, one thing comes to mind—high-technology. High-tech, meaning the technology that is at the cutting edge or the most advanced technology (thanks Wikipedia), is the ultimate description of the progressive advancement of everything we use and operate. Of course, karaoke microphones are of no exception. Since the birth of karaoke in Japan, it has evolved into this equipment that is indeed high-tech. And Magic Sing is the fairest of them all. How? Let me tell you.

1.  Karaoke microphones nowadays are wireless. No more primitive wired mics in which your mobility is hindered and in which you worry about tripping over the lines. You can even use it in an open site with its 35 feet wireless distance.
2. They come with a remote control. No worries with convenience. Just use the remote control as you sit cozily in your sofa.
3. They have improved picture quality and clearer vocal sounds. All-In-One digital karaoke indeed.
4.  Songs are built-in, and there are thousands of them. You do not need to use CD or DVD players.
5. Besides having built-in songs, you can even upgrade with song chip expansion slots. The current model even has four slots.
5. They have a built-in USB interface and battery charge status indicator.
6. They contain different melody instruments for background music, and even have the ability to change your voice/pitch to male or female.
7. They mean entertainment to the highest level with team game and competition functions.
8. They include a singing tutor function. Green color if you are too fast or too slow. Blue color if your pitch is too low. Red if your pitch is too high. Black if you are in perfect sync.
9. Full karaoke functions including adjustable key/tempo/echo are included in these fancy karaoke microphones, plus 20 song reservation while in play.
10.  There is a built-in memory for 8 minutes recordings & playback, built-in external video background input (VCD, DVD, Video Camera) and audio output mode (Amplifier or TV).

In case you didn’t know, they are the built-in features of Magic Sing models, including the latest Enter Tech Magic Sing ET-18000. Undeniably high-tech!

Down Magic Sing History Lane

Ever wonder how Magic Sing became Magic Sing, being the most innovative piece of entertainment equipment there is in the market? Well, of course, Magic Sing’s history began with karaoke (kara for empty and o-kesutora for orchestra) being invented in Kobe, Japan. It became a sensation in Japan and eventually the craze extended across other parts of Asia including East and Southeast Asia. In the following decades, karaoke finally reached different countries all over the world as it turned out to be a global obsession.

Karaoke initially was bulky and heavy, but as developments in technology emerged, developments in karaoke also emerged, making it compact and lightweight for the further comfort and enjoyment of consumers. And thus, this handy, convenient singing machine was finally branded as the “karaoke magic sing microphone.”

Magic Sing Karaoke Microphone ultimately became THE household entertainment gadget, replacing videoke CDs and karaoke DVDs due to its upmarket features such as having micro chip slots if you want to play sets of songs under a specific genre by inserting song chips (and get this, you can choose from hundreds to thousands of songs!), voice features like changer and recording, real time scoring elements and plenty more, besides already being efficient and convenient in size and weight.

Enter Tech was the pioneer designer and creator of the first Magic Sing. It was called “Magic Sing,” designed in color black and contained 800 built-in songs. Being the foremost Magic Sing, it lacked the capacity to work with a second wireless microphone. Soon afterward, the second model was introduced to the market, designed in color black and silver, having 800 songs in a chip and already had the sub microphone and mic stand unlike the first version. These models of course became a hit, and almost every family who loves singing has one in the entertainment areas of their homes.

The third version was then launched by Enter Tech after the successive feats of the first two versions. This more enhanced model included gold in the color of the mic and excluded the round microphone head. At the latter part of 2002, Enter Tech then released the Silver Magic Mic IV and the vocoder is an added feature. Two years after, the Silver Magic Mic V with a new record feature and built-in 800 songs was out in the market.

In 2005, Enter Tech released ED-8000. This model has 2058 built-in songs with additional features such as uploading of your own song record to computer and burning it to CD. The following year ED-1100 was released with features including 10 song chips. Then in December 2007, EG-18000 model with more enhancements was introduced in the market.

And for this year, Enter Tech has released its newest Magic Sing ET-18000 Multiplex Karaoke Microphone 2009 Edition. This model is the recent addition to Enter-Tech’s music microphones with original new features such as the new Multiplex Function wherein you can easily follow songs, My Mic (100 customized songs), Customizable Picture Background using an SD Card, Picture Background Themes, Improved Sound Quality, Name That Tune Game, Musical Notes, Jump Feature (Prelude/Interlude), Score Board Function, and Real Time Song Search.

Indeed, Magic Sing is the leading appliance when it comes to modern entertainment. And in the years to come, new models with finer and fancier features will be released, adding up to Enter Tech’s already successful versions of Magic Sing.

The Magic Of Singing

Why do you think rock stars, opera artists, pop divas, and balladeers have such promising careers when in fact, all they seem to do is sing their hearts out?

Well, it’s a no-brainer: singing is a way of life; an indispensable form of art present in whatever culture or race; has transcended across generations–and it’s evolving! It’s surprising how many musical notes there could ever be.

Art and passion it is, singing has become a way to express one’s self, to kill idle time, or to plainly have fun. Check your grade school slum book (what is your hobby? singing.) or reminisce your good ‘ol high school days and there’ll be surely plenty of ‘singing’ memories.

In most Filipino rituals, singing is as well present. Name it: wedding, birthdays, anniversaries, Christmas, even burials! There’s a song to sing for every occasion, for every emotion, and for practically every reason.

Singing in turn became almost a necessity, paving the way for the creation of instruments that would make the art easier. From archaic instruments like mandolins, time and technology gave birth to radio, cassette tapes,  compact discs then the Karaoke.

Wikipedia defines Karaoke as a form “of entertainment in which amateur singers sing along with recorded music (and/or a music video) using a microphone and public address system” with the voice of the original singer removed or reduced in volume.

But first generation karaoke systems were very expensive and huge in size, making it impossible to sing anywhere you like it. Lyrics were still printed in a paper and if you don’t know the song’s lyrical timing, you have to play it by ear. Thankfully, this evolved into KTV (Karaoke TV) and all you had to do is follow the highlighted prompt on the lyrics.

The Karaoke phenomenon also spurred the rise of KTV bars but public singing areas can be not as fun to those who are shy and not confident with their singing prowess. Besides, there would be a lot of competition in public KTV bars!

All these apparently prompted the creation of Microphone Karaoke. But the Mic Karaoke is a hundred times better! Easy to carry, with a choice of a thousand songs, and just as easy as 1-2-3. Plug and play, the mic karaoke can be used at home (now that is where you can really sing your heart out) or can be brought anywhere you want to. And the good news? The possibilities of this magic microphone is endless. Let me tell you about this more in the future posts.

For now, exercise those vocal cords. Who knows? It might come handy soon.

Welcome!
