Thunderbolt Docks: A long way off still?
Read more . . . →I recently purchased a new Mac Mini for use as my desktop computer in the office. One of the appeals was the high-speed Thunderbolt port. This port is faster than USB 3.0 (of which the mac mini has 0 ports :() and can daisy chain etc, overall it would be quite useful for audio and video editing. I was recently reading Anandtech's article dicussing the possibilities of a thunderbolt docking station. Currently only the $999 Apple display has that feature.

iCloud transition extended for mobileme troopers
Read more . . . →If you, like me, were a subscriber to the paid MobileMe service when Apple switched to their free iCloud service you probably already know what I am about to write about. Users of the original MobileMe service will have their extra-large iCloud space extended for another year.

Originally, this storage upgrade was set to expire on September...

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.

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! Bonus tip: in Finder on...

The Aug EP, and new ways to (re)market music within the iTunes Music Store
Read more . . . →This week Apple announces their iOS 6 operating system, which will probably be the OS that's on the iPhone 5. I have been using the OS for a little while now and I noticed an interesting feature in the redesigned iPod app. Basically when you're listening to a song that's part of an album available on the iTunes Music Store a small box appears at the bottom like this: From there you can click the button and you get offered to complete the rest of the album as if you were in the iTunes Store App. This is great news...
