Push
Read more . . . →Ableton Push has been ordered. It just went from 2-4 weeks away to 1-2 weeks away, indicating that I should get it before the end of August for sure. I am super excited to start figuring out how to get this involved in my music flow. I expect the changes will be massive! More developments soon . . .

Ableton Live 9 Release Date
Read more . . . →I was hoping that perhaps this weekend there would be an announcement about the release date for Ableton Live 9, but the best I could find was this blog post. The only issue is there is conlficting information. They mention two dates in February, but perhaps this is just the store's hope to secure some pre-orders? Either way, it looks like I will find out for sure within the next month or two.

WTF is with all this web spam
Read more . . . →Apparently some old them was causing spam to appear. Should be all fixed, what the fuck. *Edit:* Apparently it took from December until August to get all the spam off this blog removed. During this time I kind of fell off the earth in terms of posting but now I should be back with some regularity.

Really busy this week with a bunch
Read more . . . →Hey there, I've been a bit late on some posts here. I've been really busy this week with a bunch of stuff I haven't really done in a while. I was writing a resume (cross fingers) and editing video (I gotta do that more!! So much fun) Anyhow, I'll get back to queuing up a few of my favourite music and technology tidbits from across the internets!

Studio Tips: No Presets in Effectrix or how to fix the problem with presets in Effectrix
Read more . . . →Good Day fellow readers, today's ableotn tip came after having a few problems running Effectrix. Basically the presets would not show up within the application, even though I have installed it properly (many times!). The solution was found on the KVR forum by the Effectrix tech support staff: on PC its enough just to uninstall and reinstall the program. On mac the plist file must be deleted before reinstall, you can find it here: USER/Library/Preferences/com.sugar-bytes.Effectrix.plist Ahaaa, so apparently when I re installed my software on this system I did not delete the plist file first!

new maul album >album title goes here< announced
Read more . . . →The mau5 may not be happy, but he is putting out some new(isn)tunes soon. The canadian electronic music producer will be putting out a new album September 25, 2012. He just recently reconstructed his home studio (pics on his Facebook & blog) so he probably used the newly constructed space to polish up some stuff he's been working on for a while. The new 13 track album will feature an already released track, Failbait (featuring Cypress Hill), and Professional Griefers (featuring Gerard Way), out this week. Exciting to hear the full quality .wav versions off beatport once this drops!

Where is the good tech analysis:Apple Obsolescence Debate
Read more . . . →Do we need to stop being good analytical thinkers because we're dealing with technology? I don't think so and I'm always wary for misleading analysis. I recently read a five point article online from Information Week supporting their earlier criticism on the Apple Obsolescence Debate (something one doesn't experience if you're upgrading constantly I guess) The main part that irked me was the subtitle "More Analysis Please, Fanboys" which the article failed to provide. . . You can look up the original article here below I have provided the titles and my analysis 1. MobileMe vs. iCloud. This argument regards...

Quiet April, lousy Smarch
Read more . . . →I've finished Uni but still have not carved out time in my schedule for this blog. Soon I'll begin scheduling the required posts to consider this site "alive" but sadly this post is a bit of an explanation in case I don't quite get back to cps in time for tea. I hope to be back online posting this summer!
