[FR/EN] ULOG 025 - 🎤 Et si tu n'existais pas 🎶

La coupe du monde est finie, du moins pour moi. Je bosse pour une chaine télé Australienne et j'ai du travailler de nuit. Hier soir c'etait mon dernier tour. En allant, au lit hier soir, j'ai vu une annonce pour la vente d'un micro Rode NT1-A pour juste $160 au lieu des $299 habituels. Ce matin le vendeur m'avait répondu pour me dire que le micro était encore disponible et j'ai pu faire baisser le prix à $150.

The world cup has ended, at least for me, my last night shift was yesterday. I went to bed at around 4am this morning after the shift and woke up before lunch time. Before going to bed yesterday, I noticed an ad on Gumtree for a Rode NT1-A cardioid condenser microphone that is sold as new (refurbished) for just A$160 (RRP $299). As I woke up, I got a message from the seller saying it is still available and I negotiated the price down to A$150.

C'est quoi ULOG? What is a ULOG?

Un #ulog c'est comme un blog ou un vlog mais ca parle de vous. Le U de ULOG c'est pour le mot "You" en anglais. C'est votre journal intime sur Steem (ok pas si intime que ca MDR). Vous y reviendrez dans quelques années pour relire votre histoire, votre enfant va pouvoir vous re-découvrir etc...

In a nutshell, a @ulog is just a log about you. The U in ULOG stands for the word "You". It is your dairy on the Steem blockchain. In a few years, you will be able to come back and remember what happened on that day, your kid can rediscover who you were, what you did etc...

Rode NT1-A

Le produit est en fait un pack comprenant le micro Rode NT1-A, un support a suspension pour eviter les vibrations et un filtre anti pop. Ce genre de micro comporte un diaphragme plus large que les micro standards et donc enregistre bien mieux.

The product is actually a pack composed of the Rode NT1-A microphone, a shock mount to prevent vibrations from being recorded and a pop filter. This type of microphone allows better recordings due to a larger diaphragm.

Avec mon épouse, je suis donc aller acheter le micro. Mais nous sommes d'abords aller sur Gosford se prendre un sandwich vietnamien et admirer les quelques couleurs d'automne qui restent. Cela nous rappelles les automnes en France et en Angleterre qui sont beaucoup plus beau qu'ici en Australie.

My wife and I went to get the microphone but we headed to Gosford first to get ourselves some Vietnamese rolls for lunch. On our way, we noticed some remaining autumn colors on the trees, this reminded us of the marvelous autumns in France and England, we miss that a lot.

Karaoke

Je suis encore en décallage horaire et me suis endormi vers les 15 h pour me reveiller vers 18h pour le diner. Puis j'ai passé la soirée a chanter avec Smule sur mon iPhone pour tester le nouveau micro. Voici ma reprise de "Et si tu n'existais pas" de Joe Dassin:

I'm still in a night mode as I have not adjusted yet. So I went to bed at 3 pm and woke up at 6 pm for dinner. I then spent the evening singing on the Smule app for iPhone to test the new microphone. Above is my cover of "Et si tu n'existais pas", a french song by Joe Dassin.
