DAW Project: Upgrade Time…

I don’t really call myself a “musician” but I’ve been playing guitar since I was about 16 years old.  I can probably count on one hand the number of hours I’ve spent playing in the past three or four years.  At best, I dabble.  Similarly, I also dabble in music recording.  Enough so, that I have an entire desktop setup dedicated to it.  My equipment includes a TASCAM US-428, a KORG padKONTROL, an M-Audio KeyStudio, and a couple of NADY QH560‘s for monitoring.  I also have a KORG Z1, a beast of a synth, but it’s way too powerful for me to tame at this point.  How do I integrate all this tech together?

Discover: Bing Desktop + SimpleDesktops.com

My opinions on Microsoft’s Bing services vary, but one feature that I am in love with is included in the Bing Desktop application.  It allows you to adopt the current day’s Bing.com background image to your own desktop.  The images range from lush global landscapes to beautiful macro images of flora or fauna.  And it can automatically update every day for a complete change of scenery.  For that feature alone, I think it’s worth an install.

If photo-based desktops is not your thing, then on the other end of the spectrum is SimpleDesktops.com (new window).  Here you’ll find minimalist desktops in a broad range of flavors.  My current desktop is title “Eiffel”.  Definitely check it out.
