Tempted to make another blog.

Hey to anyone that reads this.

Was thinking about making another blog, something that people will want to come back and look at. My favourite idea was to make like a random facts blog. I know I could make a lot more revenue from that and get a lot more page views.

Thanks,

iPhone 5 rumours

Hello everyone, thought I would get on the iPhone 5 hype.
iPhone 5
So, according to Techradar, the new iPhone is supposed to be released in October time. This has been backed up by companies such as Cupertino firm decreasing the amount of iPhones they're going to order in by about 20%-25%. This could mean other things though, Such as increasing the amount of different phones they're going to buy.
Next, the phone is appearance of the phone is rumoured to change drastically. Images have been leaked by websites such as www.9to5mac.com which show that the phone is going to be fairly bigger than the iPhone 4 and 4S. 
The iPhone is meant to have 1GB of RAM. This is as powerful as a fair few computers (well, older ones) and it means that the phone will be quick and efficient.

Well, I hope I've helped to give people some insights on to how the iPhone 5 will look, please remember to follow my blog!

Ben.

PS - I give credit to both of those sources, but I wrote everything in my own words.

Music tech: what you need

So, as I said in a previous post, I am currently studying music tech. (the post about Ableton, please help me buy it! :( ) And I was just thinking about making a post for all of those students who have just finished the last  year in uniform and are ready to really start the work.

Headphones
Headphones are essential. Don't go and get some crappy earphones, I made that mistake. Go online and read some reviews about headphones and make a decision on what you really want to get, then get them! Don't worry about the price, you can pick up some decent quality headphones for a really good price. I suggest getting some Skullcandy headphones as I've tried them out myself.

A good ear
Without a good ear, your recording and sequencing projects won't be very good. You need a good ear to pick out any faults with things you've recorded and any notes that you've input. Also, if you're remastering a song or just doing another version of it, you need to be able to pick up on any sounds or synths that haven't been mentioned. 

Understanding of terminology
Without an understanding of terminology, you can't really explain anything to your teachers. I will admit that my explanation of terminology isn't the best, but I know what I'm talking about 80%-90% of the time. This can be key to getting something like a merit or a distinction (or if you're doing A levels instead of BTEC, A grades)

Good writing skills
Believe it or not, you need to write a lot in music tech. This is due to the teachers needing to know how you're coming along with your work and whether or not you understand it. This also links in to terminology as you need to know a lot of it to pass on written work. Another tip: Use lots of pictures and explain everything, as it helps you to achieve a lot. 

These are the basics of what you need to know. If anyone can elaborate, then please do. I hope this helps future Music technologists! 

Thanks, 

Ben.

Ableton: help me buy it?

Hello to anyone that reads this,

I really want to try my hands at making some electronic music. I am currently studying music technology and it would help me a lot. If you would be so kind as to donate a small amount of money to me, I would be ever so grateful.

thanks,

Ben.

PS - if you know any good cracks, I could use them instead.

Another rant about HTC's.

Hello to anyone that's reading this,

So a couple of weeks back my charger for my phone decided to stop working (If you read the title first, then you'll know it's a HTC) which makes me just want to throw it against the wall and Kill anyone who works at HTC.

So please, if you have any common sense then don't bother getting one.

Ben.
