As many of you know I’ve made a bit of a reputation for producing pop and rock music. Naturally for me to progress, I must remain current, if I can’t innovate altogether so it’s with that in mind that I decided to give Mixcraft 6 Pro Studio a go. WHAT IT REPLACES Until very recently I used Pro-Tools as a mastering/mixing tool. It did the job but sadly because of the way Avid implement their [...]
![Attachments.me: A Good Workaround to Apple’s Terrible Attachment Handling [iOS]](http://www.uberreview.com/wp-content/themes/morning/functions/theme/thumb.php?src=http://www.uberreview.com/wp-content/uploads/attachments-576x1024.png&w=300&h=150&zc=1&a=c)
For all of the conveniences that it offers, there are aspects to the iPhone that Apple has simply not thought through – case in point: email attachment handling. I made the switch from Android to iOS a little over six months ago and half of the fun has been figuring out how to do things that I took for granted on my old phone. You would think that downloading and resending an attachment would be [...]
There exists a proverb that, when loosely translated from its original Italian, says: “Do not judge a book by its cover.” Occasionally however, it becomes obvious that this proverb does not apply to marketing. Let me revise that, it’s not so occasional, it’s actually rather often that we are made to judge a product by its cover. Case and point, Zombie Burbz. Zombie Burbz is a cross platform app that unlike 99.9% of other apps, [...]
I have spent the past couple of weeks playing around with the Logitech UE Mobile Boombox and have to say that I was rather impressed. The tiny Bluetooth speaker looks great, sounds good and stands up well to accidental drops. Design and aesthetics Personally, I have always loved Logitech products, they have tended to perform well and be great value for money, but until recently they were always a little uninspired in the design department. [...]
Over the past few days I have spent a good portion of my free time and plenty of time that I should have spent working playing Kalypso Media’s Omerta: City of Gangsters, a combination of strategy and turn-based combat that is, in some ways a throwback to games of yore. You start out as a Sicilian immigrant, fresh off the boat with five dollars in his pocket. From there you embark on a journey of [...]
I got the chance to enjoy some quality time with the House of Marley Redemption Song headphones over the past couple of weeks. The company produces nine different on ear headphones, these sit right at the top of the range. Build, Quality and Aesthetics What impressed me most about the Redemption Song OE headphones was the construction quality. We live in a throwaway world, but these headphones feel like they will last forever. There is [...]
Mouse without borders is a nifty little software that allows anyone to move their mouse across several screens that are in turn scattered across several PCs, as a bonus the mouse makes it seem like it’s on one single PC because it can share the clipboard so copy/paste across different PCs is now possible. Initial install is quite painless, the software is distributed as an .msi package which means it can be distributed as a [...]
Copyright law is one of those flaky things that seems to change every minute, from country to country. For example if you’re in Canada and want to watch a US TV show live on television, the Canadian equivalent of the FCC, an entity called CRTC which is designed more to protect big businesses than to protect any Canadian culture that might exist, forces you to watch it on a Canadian channel. Why? Some might ask. [...]
If you’re an avid follower of my column here at UberReview you know that I’m a huge HTPC fan. After all, what’s better to hook up to a recent television set, than an actual computer? Consider all the options you have, video games, Netflix, XBMC, YouTube, heck you can even stream live sports with a subscription. This season, NHL has been crippled by the players being locked out by the NHL teams in a hilarious [...]
You’d think that in 2013 we’d have perfected the art of being able to spot false advertising, consider that with dozens of Internet sites reviewing everything from spray foam insulation to eatable candy underware for men, you’d expect that people would weed out these cockamamie gadgets. We don’t. Occasionally we’ll walk into a store, see a pretty box and think, “Hey, that looks neat, let me drop 40$ on it.” or like Fry said in [...]
Gigabyte Dual Thunderbolt Motherboards Gigabyte used CES 2013 to show off a pair of dual Thunderbolt motherboards with a serious trick up their sleeve. Both boards are able to power an Ultra HD 4K resolution video display across four regular 1080p monitors using Intel® Collage display technology, thereby transforming them into a 3840 x 2400 pixel display. What’s more they did so without the use of a discreet graphics card – using the HD4000 graphics [...]
Running an HTPC has never been easier with the sheer amount of remote control devices that have recently appeared on the market, from the afore-reviewed Candyboard MiniWing, to Android devices remotes like gMote and others, and now it’s never looked as good with XBMC. Actually no, that was slightly misleading because the HBMC interface has existed since 2003. It’s obviously evolved eversince and now offers amazing integration and apart from just a few plug-ins missing [...]
