Foona Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 Hello Midibox Forum!I know it didn't go to well the last time i was here and i want to apologisefor that. Without this forum and the members residing in it i wouldn't have beenable to get this far. So i wanted to make up for it in some way, and this is whati did and constantly keep on doing.Everytime people ask about my DIY gear i make shure i mentionthe MidiBox forum and Ucapps, and there is also proof of this. :DI mention it on Youtube, Myspace and now also on my newly started blog.Foona's Offical Studio5 BlogI hope this can mend some of the stuff i said and did in the past.I really enjoyed being here and i hate to know that people resent mebecause of my previous childish behaviour.I have been away for a long time now and i wanted to tell you what I have been up toall this time. Iv'e mostly been busy producing music and working with my crew.I have however built a few new things but no Midibox related stuff, just basicanalog stuff (not as easy for me to find new ways to brake).Iv'e updated my MySpace quite a bit, gotten some sponsors to work with me etc.Foona's MySpaceIv'e also reworked my studio, put up two videos on youtube where im using theMidibox Dubmasta and other DIY gear to dub tracks among other things.In one of the videos my Hamond Spring reverb tank can be seen and heard.Foona's Youtube ChannelYesterday my new Roots and Dub album "Foona's In'I Sound" was released finally!This is what i have prepared for all this time. Though im gonna have to dissapoint Stryd_one.There are no cowbells in my album, but i promise to include some in the next one! ;)The site is in Swedish language but look for a brown buttonatt the bottom of the "Foona's In'I Sound" post. The text on the button says"Ladda Hem Albumet". To grab a copy of your own just go to:Foona's Album and Artist presentation @ Rebelmusic.se"The page might take a little while to load."I found out quite recently that i allready existed on Last.Fm soi created a manager account so i can manage that too now.Foona on Last.FMWell thats a little bit of what iv'e been doing so far.Again, BIG UP to all members that where there for my duringmy Dubmasta build. Your support will never be forgotten!The Dubmasta was one of the corner stones of what iv'e done lately,and we did it together. And that is what i feel this forum is all about!THANK YOU MIDIBOX FORUM!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stryd_one Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 He lives! :D hahahhaMate I think I can safely speak for most people around here when I say there is no resentment held towards you. Perhaps a little disappointment that your box never reached it's full potential, but nothing to be sorry for :)Anyways all that crap aside it's good to see you putting the MB to good use :) Thanks for keeping us posted!

Foona Posted March 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 Stryd_one: Lets face it, i just couldn't stay away. Iv'e been lying restless many nights thinking about it.Im glad im welcomme back into the mix! Thank you!You can see a post about the Hammond spring tank i built on my Studio5 blog,and i'll be putting up a blog about a Dual Rebote 2.5 delay unit i build.More things to follow after that i promise.Cimo: life in Sweden is really nice now. Today snow started falling again, and i dooo loooove the snow!If there is enough snow i'll put up some pics of this cowboy building a snowman. ;)Things are really starting to look up over here.Im trying to make a new video to put up on youtube and right now my D.A.W is acting up.Im not too good with this "patience" thingy haha. But i learned a great deal about thatduring the Dubmasta build. :)Hopefully it will all go well in the end! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goblinz Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 Good to have you back. No resentment at all. You had a few bad days, it should have just stayed as a few bad days and i'm sure there's more than a few of us thatwere sorry to see you disappear when things could have been sorted out easily enough. Back on board now so lets put that all behind us! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ssp Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 foona, we have never spoken on the forums or in chat, but i had a listen to your tracks and i really enjoyed them.i used to live in st pauls in bristol right in the heart of the jamaican community and listened to reggae every day, i had no choice when the guy next door had the loudest system in the city! i still listen to some old favourites like cofi , cutty ranks, Ce'Cile and a few others.looking over some old posts its good to see you finished you projects and seeing them used in the videos.im just finishing my fist batch of projects now and the help i have had rom the guys here has been worth its weight in gold!! its nice to have an accomplished midiboxer and artist back here again.and remember!! no one cyaan test fe dat is fe mi bredda ( i speak fluent patois!)
