Apple’s Logic software is a powerful and seemingly limitless application for both musicians and producers alike. If you are beginning to feel constrained by the limits of GarageBand, especially in terms of editing sounds and mixing to produce a professional quality recording, Logic is definitely worth looking into. The biggest question that you’ll be faced…

If you bought an iPad and need support, a good place to start is your iPad! Apple has a user guide on their website, but what if you don’t always have internet access? Download the free iBooks app from the app store and look for the iPad User Guide. You’ll now have Apple’s entire guide…

I arrived in the office this morning around 8:30, and Rob must have seen me drive in. My phone was ringing as soon as I went in the door—all of his preferences had reverted to defaults, so his Mail folders and rules were gone, his iChat accounts had to be re-entered, his keychains were toast,…

I am love with my iPad. It is easily the coolest gadget I have ever bought. After having spent the last few days playing with it non-stop, I have a much better sense of what it is and what it isn’t, as well as what its potential can be. I think the best way to…

Pages is one of those apps that really filled a void in my world. Word was slow and cumbersome (and pre-version 2008 for Mac, not very pretty) and AppleWorks never transitioned into the vibrant OS X Cocoa world. While I know the application pretty darn well by this point, I’m always excited when I learn…

I received of my least favorite types of emails yesterday. One of our customers purchased an upgrade to Snow Leopard for his Intel-based Mac running 10.5. He spent some time discussing his current setup with the sales associate in our store and it sounded like the upgrade was appropriate. Unfortunately, after installing Snow Leopard, the…

If you are thinking of purchasing a new computer setup, one important component that is often overlooked is a good surge protector. While locally we only have to worry about lightning a few times a year, power spikes can still happen at any time, and for the investment put into a brand new machine it…

I opened iTunes this morning when I got to work, and kept hearing the same song twice; I just upgraded to a unibody MacBook and ended up importing some songs twice in the migration. As much as I like Dave Brubeck and Amy Winehouse, I didn’t want to hear duplicates all day. With about six…
