![]() GoodNotes for Mac - One of my most used iPad apps is now on the Mac. You can filter by year, ensemble, composer, conductor, and even soloist. IDAGIO - This subscription app and service takes the metadata problem out of classical music by properly tagging composer, arranger, soloist, orchestra, and performer information and allowing it to be filtered. It takes the frustration out of adding to and updating your contacts. Now that it has Instapaper support, I don't need to leave the app to catch up on my read later list.Ĭardhop for iOS - This is the contacts app replacement you NEED to install on your iOS devices. I love reading my RSS subscriptions in its clean user interface. Reeder 4 - Reeder is still the app my thumb reaches for first when I have some free time. Timery - This is a super impressive and scriptable time tracking app for iOS that has a great widget and Siri Shortcuts support. I love using Downie to take YouTube videos from the internet and then slow them down in AnyTune so that my band students and private percussion students can practice to a superior performance at a reasonable speed. It has great Music app integration, native keyboard shortcuts, and a rich user interface. But for tracking students, musical repertoire, assignments, and everything else, this is the power app solution for every problem.ĪnyTune Pro+ - This iOS and Mac app has finally replaced Transcribe! for me in most cases. I only know the scripting well enough to program my own keyboard shortcuts. Best of all, the iPhone app can send to my Apple TV and Apple Watch simultaneously so I can watch the instructor on the big screen and track my heart rate on the watch.įileMaker - I live by this app. There are restorative yoga classes and body weight strength classes that just need a mat. I can filter 5, 10, 15, and 20 minute classes when I only have a little bit of time. There are always new classes, many are live, and they are highly specific. We are undecided on the bike so far, but the Peloton app is full of classes for strength, meditation, yoga, functional training, running, biking, and more! We have a little bit of space in the new house to lay out some yoga gear and do some body weight working out. Peleton - I didn't think this service could be worth the hype but I am really buying in. ![]() I also love HomeRun for customizing my Apple Watch watch face so that it always knows which scenes I want to run at my house based on time of day. The Apple Home app is my master control center for all of these devices, but I also really like Home+ 4 as it offers a superior and more customizable interface in some respects. When we moved to the new house this year, I added some of the following stuff to my home automation setup: smart dimmers for the lights, baseboard thermostats, floodlight cameras, garage door openers, diffusers, smoke detectors, and more. Home and home apps - I would consider my current favorite hobby to be automating my home. His keyboard playing was FUNKY and his drumming was technically impressive. It was fun in such an intimate venue to see how he uses Logic to handle all of his arrangement tracks. Louis Cole at U Street Music Hall - Just Louis Cole, a MIDI keyboard, drum set, and Logic Pro. Nickel Creek/ Punch Brothers at Carnegie Hall - Beautiful hall to see two of my all time favorite bands performing together for the first time. Ghost Note at Creative Alliance - When you take the percussionists from Snarky Puppy, Mono Neon on bass, and other members of the backup band for Prince, you get unbelievably funky. Motivational Music for the Syncopated Soul - Cory Wong Favorite Live Shows The Other Side of Air - Myra Melford's Snowy EgretīEAT MUSIC! BEAT MUSIC! BEAT MUSIC! - Mark Guilana Johann Sebastian Bach - Víkingur Ólafsson I always find it easier to write about technology because of the matter of fact way I can describe what it does. So my descriptions will be more brief, if not absent. I have had plenty of time to reflect this year, just not as much time to write. In the meantime I wanted to squeeze in a few annual posts I usually do around this time. ![]() Once I can find some time again, I have some very exciting work I am looking forward to here. My wife and I bought a new house in late October and are expecting our first child any day now. Things have been quiet on the blog lately.
