Slacker Radio Service
Have you ever been working on a project and realized you needed some music to help you get through it quicker? On any other day you would go to Pandora radio, but they seem to have the same songs going each time. With little change you begin to notice how old the stations are becoming, and how boring the music really is. But you can’t skip over that song, because then an advertisement will play through. With all of the advertisements which seem not to fit the station you’re on makes it feel less and less like a radio, but more of a paying service. Introducing Slacker radio, an improved version of the Pandora radio service that has a wider variety of music. When the advertisements play it actually fits the station and sounds like a live radio station. Multiple genre’s to pick from and plenty to listen to, give this service a try.

Mobile apps have made my life better, I have no doubt about that! Even though I’m a true geek and huge technology enthusiast, I will admit I was relatively late to the mobile apps party. I was never interested in iPhones when I demoed them, so I never really owned a smart phone up until the trusty HTC Desire hit the Australian shores.
When recording using more than one device, for example when using a drum machine and a digital multitrack recorder, you suddenly find youself needing to consider the issue of synchronisation. During any recording process it is normal practice to start laying down the drum or rhythm track, which will define the tempo and feel of your composition. However, you will generally use a separate drum machine/groove box for this. The next step is to look at overlaying audio, e.g. bass, guitar and vocals, etc.
