someone who's doing some things
I remember when this app first arrived. I was really blown away by it. I still think it’s a lot of fun to mess around with and a nice example of an experimental app for the iOS. I hope that people keep on doing things like this instead of more complex apps that are commercial but less experimental.
Time will tell.
Amidio used to make all of their app splash screens like this, and in some ways I preferred them to what they do now. The app was meant to be like Eno’s Bloom app only much better. I’m not sure it was. It was different, that’s for sure, but better? Maybe in some ways. I still liked this, and found it useful back when I first got it.
This version only gets as far as the splash screen on my 3G so it won’t be used any more sadly. I haven’t tried the latest version of the app that Amidio have released. Perhaps I should. But it won’t be the same experience.
Another circular sequencer concept. This one was quite tricky to use although the concept was good. I seem to remember that there were in fact a number of version of the app with different sample bases to them. Something that a number of people have tried out, but that hasn’t always been too successful.
Still, it was ok to use although I can’t see myself making any amazing tracks with it.
Well, I have well and truly stepped into the 21st Century now. I’m quite enjoying spotify and finding it works well. I can still myself buying a few things, but probably nowhere near as much from now on.
Is this a good thing? I’m not sure. After only just about a week I think it’s too early to give a complete verdict. Although it’s been a very positive experience so far I think. For me the most positive thing is having spotify on my iPhone, although I’d quite like a proper iPad app too.
I finally managed to get a charger for my Zodiac 2, and it works just fine! I’ve had a very brief try out with the onboard sound card and that too works just fine. I’m looking forward to getting it fully loaded.
So I finished listening to the 10 CD version of Shada narrated by Lalla Ward. It was a good version. There’s certainly more detail in this version than the Big Finish version, although partly that’s because it’s narrated rather than a dramatised version.
On the whole though, I do prefer the Big Finish version with Paul McGann. Not because it’s a dramatised version, although I think that brings it to life far better as a story. But because I think that they just did it much better by shortening it to something more like the length it would have been if it had actually been televised. Let’s not forget that it was meant to be on TV in 25 minute episodes, and not a 10 hour narrated story.
Anyway, I’m glad I heard this version, and I’m glad I’ve got both now. I might even by the book when the paperback comes out.
I just had an urge to put stuff up on Pinterest, so I’ll post some links to these later on. Just enjoying seeing lots of photos, many of which I’d forgotten.
I’ve been a fan of Sunvox since the very first version I ran on my Treo under Palm OS. That was over 4 years ago now. It has come a long way since then, and the latest version is really amazing, with lots of new features and especially live recording.
So, about a week into my trial of Spotify and I have to say that I’m really enjoying it. It is very useful as a way to check out music I wouldn’t have otherwise heard. I’m not sure that I’m ready to make the full plunge to not buying music at all though. That might be just a bit too far for me to go at the moment.
