Logic Setup for PowerKeys App

Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010

powekeys_front_page0.png I’ve always been a fan of PowerKeys for the iPhone/Touch. It started off a bit buggy and crashy, but since the last update, it seems very stable. A really nice feature of the new version is that you can (more…)

Make Your Own iPhone App – Seriously!

Wednesday, December 9th, 2009

Mobile Roadie has a very neat way of creating iPhone apps, mostly aimed at the music market. It’s very, very neat. Rather than me rabbiting on about it, have a look at the video here.

The Slow Demise of Apple, Starting This Week?

Friday, October 30th, 2009

So, this week’s been a pretty bad one for Apple then. The three most important things to Apple over the past number of years have been the Mac user experience (ie OS X and the Mac computer), the iPhone, and of course, the iPod & iTunes. Every single one of these came under serious attack this week from either Microsoft or Google.

lsApple put an instant hole in the pocket of people like me everywhere today, by releasing updates to their two premium software products for media professionals, Final Cut Studio and Logic Studio.

The Search for the Digital Gatefold

Sunday, March 22nd, 2009

So, I’m finally getting some quality time to myself, sitting down listening to some music on my Media Center, controlling iTunes from my iPod Touch. Maybe I’ll listen to the new Duffy album I just bought. (I like buying music. Hell, if I’m not gonna buy someone else’s, why should I expect anyone to buy mine!) (more…)

The Best Internet Radio iPhone App, Hands Down

Monday, February 9th, 2009

I’ve been tearing my hair out for a couple of weeks trying to find the best way to stream internet radio to my iPod Touch. Every single free internet radio app, and many of the paid ones, say much the same thing, “Over 5,000 radio stations”. Of course, what they don’t say is most of them are (more…)

Undercover Upgrade – It’s A Must!

Friday, January 30th, 2009

Orbicule have upgraded Undercover, their anti-theft software, to version 3. The most important upgrade in this new release is the integration of Skyhook Wireless technology.

If you have a Mac, particularly a laptop and you don’t have Undercover, all I can say is, buy it now. It’s cheap and it’s clever. Apple should just buy this company and make the software standard on every Mac.

Jazzers iPhone Heaven

Saturday, December 6th, 2008


Yup, someone put the Real Book on the iPhone! A word of warning though, there are no lyrics here, nor melodies, just purely chords. But if you’re stuck at a gig and you need to comp your way thru something you don’t know, this is brilliant. And the best feature? (more…)
