Re: Channels app question - 9 months ago

I've been a Channels Apple TV app user for about two years. They just released a major upgrade this week to Version 4.0 I have a 2011 Mac mini as the recorder working with two OTA antennae (Manhattan high rise building with poor sight lines to signal). This set up serves two Apple TV 4 in two different rooms. The system has performed well. The developers are easy to access via their foru

Re: music keyboard stand suggestion - 1 year ago

I am also a fan of the K & M Omega. A bit of overkill for a 49 key controller, but it is incredibly well made and will hold most 49 to 88 key controllers.

Re: any tips for a cheap rental car in Charleston, SC? - 2 years ago

I agree- Costco is not the cheapest option. What I like about them is the backing they offer if you have difficulty during the rental. A rental company attempted to overcharge on the return of my rental. I called Costco- they intervened and the rental company honored the original Costco contract. HTH

Love mine. I use it daily with ForScore. It has replaced a large stack of print books on my piano. It's a little large for travel, but i really enjoy reading novels on it on the couch.

Re: Craiglist deal with guy in Minnesota , im in Chicago - 2 years ago

Just went through something similar with an open Reel to Reel deck. I'm in New York and the seller was in Denver. I offered to use Task Rabbit and their payment services to pick up the deck and bring it to the UPS store. - We didn't go that route. I ended up pre paying with PayPal after a productive FaceTime conversation and demo of the deck with the seller. Sometimes you've got to

Re: Anyone using a MIDI controller with their iPad???? - 3 years ago

For mobile, I use an iPad Pro 12.9" and the camera connection kit attached to an Akai Professional LPK25. Works well with basic sequencing and MIDI playback. In my studio, I've used an Pad Pro 12.9" and the camera connection kit attached to a with a Kawai VPC1. It also works well but has some annoying latency issues with larger sample based instruments like Ravenscroft 275.

Home Inventory software solution? (Actual Mac Question! ) - 3 years ago

Has anyone found a good software solution for keeping track of home inventory? I’ve used Home Inventory: Good but not great. Biggest issue is that it imports and then reformats all picture and receipt names creating bloat and making coordination of the data outside the application difficult. I do use and like Delicious Library for books, CD, and LP but it doesn’t allow for eas
