hi Mike... good to see ya back... 

has been a long time.... go down to Tips and have a read...  http://wiki.wincustomize.com/wiki/Screenshots:_How_to_make_one

easiest is to just upload to imageshack and copy the Forum Code straight into this comments area....

looking forward to seeing your screenie.. 

Thanks Syd ! ! Hang on to your horses ... !

 

OK, It's been a while since I posted up on WC... ( family and health commitments .. ) 

Anyway , I noticed in the last month's Desktops that us Mac Users dont get as much coverage, I have no idea why .. ... so heres my little contribution .. !! 

2 Shots .... Clean and dirty ...

CLEAN .......

Clean is as you see , Mac OSX Snow Leopard and of course , the dock as usual ... Looking forward to the new OSX LION coming soon ..

Its interesting to say that with my 'pre existence' , if you will , on PC ,

I loved tweaking and modding - dont get me wrong , I still do , on my PC , but not as much these days ... 

I don't really miss all of that since I went all " Apple-y " ... 

I just never found a need to ... The system works excellently for me ... and does what it says on the box , so to speak ... fast as hell as well ( A BT Infinity 40mb Broadband helps a little !! )

My current Mac setup is 27"iMac , 2 iPod Touch's 8gb and 32gb , iPad1 64gb 3g , iPad 2 64gb 3g , and of course , the ubiquitous iPhone4 ... 

 Macbook Air is in the bedroom ... along with an Apple Tv so that I can stream movies etc to the TV... 

<><>

As a musician I had to 'Upgrade' to Mac for work reasons , as the main Music Program that I run , Logic Express , is only for the Mac .. 

( If its good enough for EMI Abbey Road Studios , and BBC et al , Then I think It will be good enough for me ! ! ) ... So, here's the Dirty Shot ....

" From the Calm comes the Chaos ! "

I am currently working on A Genesis song for a friend of mine , and using Logic Express with some of its built in Samplers , and a couple of KORG Legacy VST synths , the classic M1 , Wavestation , and the MS20 ....

everything you see , all the buttons , bits, things, wires etc ... all do something ... so sometimes there is a fair bit of programming and fiddling to do , assigning notes, midi channels , etc ... 

<><><><>

I use the YAMAHA CVP 509 Clavinova as my Master keyboard ... With all the sounds and bits in that .... I don't think I will ever use it to its full potential ... but its a fantastic piece of equipment ....... 

This is a video I did on my iPhone of the built - in demo of my Clavinova ...

Pretty impressive ... 

The Logic Express window is usually full screen , but I thought you would have a better idea of what it all looks like .. !! 

~ So as you can see , it sorta gets very busy when I do a bit of work ... sorry , I'll re-phrase that .. When I have a bit of fun !! 


<><><><>

And Thats your lot ... music to make and bills to pay ... 


Regards to all ...

Mike 

PS Apologies for the format of the thing .. dunno how it happened !!

lol, Syd !!  

edit.... I deleted him...  lol.... didn't wanna be going off track...  

hope things are looking up on the health and family side Mike..

love the chaos one... v's been getting into a lot of music programs too for awhile now, gonna be interested to see what you're in to...  

 The Clavinova sounds great...

Glad you like the Clavinova  !!   When I use all THOSE sounds etc, on top of all the Logic Instruments , between them 

I have quite a large 'sound pallette' to use ... The problem is , I am spoiled for choice .. as in .... say i wanted a piano sound ...  

' Shall I use the Steinway grand piano or the fender stage piano ? ..or maybe the Yamaha Concert grand piano , ..... sheesh ! ' 

just thinking...... v has a music thread going here... why don't you start one up too?...  be good to hear what you're up to..

Summat I did a little while ago , Syd ... for a team of dancers on a cruise ship ... ... 

Sorry its a bit off topic , mods !!  

Some HiFidelity to the Xtreme!

Mike... great looking shots! I'd love to hear the music too! Not fair giving it all to syd!

I'd also LOVE to see more Mac/Apple screenies... please: Everyone with them give us some beautiful screenies!

@WG: Gizmo and HiFidelity look super!!!

I know I'd love to see this one updated and a Winstep Extreme theme made of it.

Pixtudio/Treetog's Super Classic "Sputnik". The suite, wb, inspired 6 pages of all sorts of work... even a Litestep!

Wish I knew how to get rid of the annoying user icon in the start menu (left upper corner): Could someone tell me how?

I sometimes apply it just to remember "Those heady days of [skinning] Sputnik and Yuri Gagarin..." - Hunt For Red October.

sorry folks !! I have now fixed the link in my post ... checkout reply 17 !!
