Traktor Scratch Pro

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

Native-Instruments releases their new version of Traktor ScratchPro. The other day I downloaded the update and took it for a spin. My immediate thoughts are 1) love the redesign of the user-interface. 2) Async, which analyzes tracks is unbelievably faster (especially useful in live situations). Overall rating 5/5. Blows Rane's Serato out of the water.

M-AUDIO - Studiophile BX8a Studio Reference Monitors

First to recommend

Description

Honestly I am not the biggest fan of Avid/M-Audio. Yes they make professional level music gear and software (that works), but they've kind of gotten behind with software updates/drivers. However -with that said, I would recommend M-Audio's BX8 reference monitors. Two of my cohorts recommended these monitors. I gave it a shot and happy to report it was worth the purchase. Moderately priced. Outstanding sound and frequency response. Now i just need the BX 10 bass to compliment my studio.

Saul Williams presents Niggy Tardust!

First to recommend

Description

"The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of Niggy Tardust" by Saul Williams and Trent Reznor rule my iPod playlist. Songs like Convict Colony and List of Demands will get me more amped-up than any Talib Kweli revolution. And although Erykah Badu's latest album was good, it didn't feel as complete and original as Mr. William's album. Two covers - the "Sunday Bloody Sunday" and the "Can't Hide Love" cover are weird. Never have I heard such a mutated version of Earth, Wind, & Fire's song. "World on Wheels" will make you shake your booty as if you were listening to CSS or Bonde Do Role. This is an essential hip hop album, just as I thought for sure that hip hop was dead. Outside of MF Doom or Madlib, I haven't bought a good hip hop album in ages.

Spore Origins

First to recommend

Description

I named my Spore "Sputnik". I swam out of the primordial ooze and into the fourth level before finally hitting Save & Close. Apple and EA Games have created a monster. You too can design and play your own spore for the micro price of $9.99. The graphics are interesting. The sound & music fit nicely. The customization of the characters are a blast. You can take a photo from your iPhone and incorporate it. You can load an existing image onto your spore. You can randomize the appearance or select EA Game's. Complete the different levels by eating smaller micro-organisms. Travel on until you become a higher life-form.

Walt Disney Treasures: On The Front Lines (DVD)

First to recommend

Description

Walt Disney's Treasures "On The Front Lines - The War Years" is one of my favorites from the Disney Treasure series. Back in the 40's during the World War, Disney created many propaganda or 'educational' films for the US Armed Forces. In response to Hitler and Japan, Disney made films such as "Der Fuhrer's Face". Today, one would question their commentary and satire, but i guess in times of war these things happen. Start with the chapter "From the Vault". Disney wasn't always 'g-rated' family fun.

The Effect Generator

First to recommend

Description

Online efx-generator for your website or social-network site. Develop your own web-based animation without tedious 'action-scripting'. I was able to get things working and completed without any fuss. No registration/membership set backs. Easy to use, but their video tutorials can also help you if your new to Flash based animations. Upload your own images after adding the image component. Use the Text component to add static or dynamic text. You can create slideshows. Choose from a small library of choice fonts that The Effect Generator has provided. Save and e-mail your work or publish the code yourself if you prefer. You have many options (i.e. HTML, JavaScript, WebURL). I prefer the email because it sends links to the preview animation or edit-link. I really appreciate sites that give people the tools to work with. Now it's up to me to do something with it. (via Here's my example:)

Transmit (FTP)

First to recommend

Description

As the slogan says, "The next-generation Mac OS X FTP client!". Transmit 3 by Panic is the only FTP client that i still use. I could file transfer from other Mac applications, but then I wouldn't have Transmit's GUI and efficiency. You can set up a proxy, create FTP droplets for different servers, or copy and remove remote web URLs. Other killer features include SFTP & TSL/SSL, auto-permissions, and batch downloading. And guess what, this is an affordable app that makes it a necessary web tool.

Apple iPhone

390 people recommended this item

Description

The iPhone... now why would I put in something that has been brought before your eyes a zillion times again, simply cuz its just so adorably perfect. Seems surprising that even after all the experience of Nokia, Samsung and Motorola; its Apple who with its first baby is making waves. AT&T has fielded 1 million serious inquiries about the iPhone already and latest news is that Apple definitely promises to being it to you by June. The iPhone definitely has to be the first product that I would recommend as a 'must have' and also as the coolest thing in recent times destined to re-write the cellular rules.
