AxeSkillz
I have taught various musical instruments and production techniques for a long time now. Finally I decided that I should introduce a website dedicated to that.
So for the past few weeks I have missed out on all the great weather we have had and managed to get the AxeSkillz website up and running, [...]
Using Cubase 6 – Matching Tempo
Imagine the scenario – You are about to start work on a remix and you have been sent the original radio edit plus vocals as a reference. You need to pull the original track (and vocals and possibly other parts) into a project and line them up so the vocals fit and you can work at your new tempo and [...]
Single Released – Waiting For The Moon
After a little work and a little fun – Digital 96 have released our first single officially. The song was written, recorded and produced by both myself and Jason Havenhand, who I have known as a friend and associate since 1989. Vocals are by the awesome Soraya Vivian.

Enhancing Your Facebook Profile Picture (Pre-Timeline)
*Note – This method does not work if you have Facebook Timeline implemented (which almost everyone has, as of April 2012).

I had to do this recently and [...]
QR Codes – Decoding the Box
I made a minor discovery this morning before starting work in the studio. Something quite interesting, geeky and possibly useful too. It reminded me of some random time in my childhood, spent making codes with my school-friends that only we could read… Then trying to crack the ones that another [...]
Solo Navigation
Today I completed my first ever solo journey out of the local airfield vicinity. I have done a fair amount of solo flying but up until now, only in the circuit at Sherburn. This means plenty of take-offs and landings but not much radio and navigation work. Today was the day when instructor Jonathan [...]
iNavigation
Friday, July 26 – Time for another section of navigation exercises from Sherburn. This time I had some technical testing and questions in mind as well as the actual navigation exercise.
