Running Aurora Sound Studio on iPad, iPhone, and Windows Mobile.

I’ve been a fan of this music app for years now, and I found this photo that I’d taken of it running on three different devices simultaneously. I still use it a lot for making tracks on my iPhone, so I must get back to using it on Windows Mobile soon. It’ll be interesting to see how different it is or isn’t.

The first picture is the bC16 being played using a Handera 330 running Theremini. The second picture is using BeatPad.

I don’t experiment with it so much anymore, but I used to quite a lot before. I think I always wanted to find that perfect device that could do everything, and often the only way was with an emulator of some kind.

One of the original forerunners of mobile music making. A game and a musical creation toy or art form. It was beautiful and inspired so much.

A very early foray into the world of mobile music, and as such worth posting about again. These apps (although we didn’t call them apps back then) weren’t even real Palm OS apps. They were flash applets that ran inside the flash player on a Sony Palm OS device.

Strange what made sense back then. I’m struggling to think of a modern day equivalent of this.

Getting to grips with chromecast

Posted by ashleyelsdonon April 9, 2015April 7, 2015in Tech, TVLeave a comment

I only got a Chromecast to try out a particular streaming service to get a specific show, and, that didn’t actually work out, which was a shame. However, the upside was that I’ve found the Chromecast itself really useful. Using it with my Nexus Android tablet has been really handy. I found that I got a load of really good offers which have almost paid for the device, and, talking to a colleague who’s already got a Chromecast, apparently the offers get refreshed, so I’m looking forward to getting more.

So it’s had a double upside, it’s been useful itself, and it’s showed another use for my Nexus which I’ve always sort of struggled to find a proper use for.
