A great way to share the hard work you have done on your website and blog is to get your friends to “Like” what you have done and share it with their friends on Facebook.
This is a subject covered in many places around the web.
How do I get Facebook Like Buttons, Comments Boxes and various other [...]
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, [...]
A Blast from the Past – Ballads Away!
Something I used to do quite a lot of in my earlier song-writing days was write ballads. I found it quite easy to put the arrangements together and learned a lot about how (and how not) to write a song. Some of them were written and recorded in a matter of days. (I know – you can probably tell).
I [...]
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.
The track is called Waiting [...]

I had a visit today from an old friend Dave Jozzy Jones from the [RnR] Gaming Clan (Those were the days!) and coincidentally, had an hour of flying booked too. As I am still a student, I am not allowed to carry passengers yet but if the instructor [...]
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).
For some, this will be nothing new. I actually discovered this just before Christmas but have only just had time to write it up. It’s a neat way to use a background picture for [...]
How To: Wake Over LAN + Internet
Most people these days have some kind of Smart-phone, Netbook or Laptop. But many of us also still need hulking behemoths of power stashed away at the office to do our main work. Our studio, for example, would never run on any kind of laptop and certainly not a netbook (correct at time of [...]
Yes – I Play Guitar
Funny really; My main sources of work and also much personal enjoyment revolve around various fields of music and production and song-writing. I’ve been blogging about my flying training experiences because they are a relatively new thing to me. Music isn’t. Not that there aren’t always new things [...]
First Solo Land Away
2010, September 17
in Aviation
Friday 17th September – The weather was finally good enough to allow me to head out solo to land at Humberside.
After completing this exercise with instructor Peter last week, I felt pretty confident that I would be able to manage this one on my own. Especially with all that extra space on the [...]
