You should uninstall and reboot your PC before upgrading drivers whenever you're having issues. Is it what you've done or di you just overwrite the old drivers? Also, do you see an option to use either AC97 or HD Audio Front Panel? Have you checked inside your PC that the front panel audio...

1. if they're located on your Win 8.1 partition, no they won't. 2. not sure I understand the question. If you dual boot Win 10 and 8.1, there should be no performance decrease unless your hard drive's storage space is close to full. 3. you definitely should backup anything you want to keep. 4...

Hey guys, so I downloaded the Win 10 Insider Preview. I was checking out the Calendar application and I can't find any way to add a CalDav account. It seems, Gmail, iCloud, ActiveSync, Exchange and others are supported but unless your CalDav account is associated with an email address, it seems...

I don't understand why MS can't just push OS updates like Apple does. It seems like it would be the only viable option. As it is, when you buy a Windows Phone, you'll never know along the line whether or not you will receive any OS update AT ALL. This can't go on like this.

Re: Why should I stay with WP? I had a Lumia 710 for a while, switched to an iPhone, then to a Nokia 1600 (yeah I know) which I'm ready to let go of. My wife just got a Lumia 630 that I've been playing with and I must admit the WinPhone OS is splendid. The lock screen, live tiles, app design...

Yeah but isn't Office going to be Web-based as opposed to a full featured app?

Great analysis! :)

Well, I've had my new iFad for a few days now. The verdict is in: it is mostly AWESOME!!! 1. As a mobile practice and compositional tool for musicians, my #1 use of it, it is just perfect. The quality and variety of apps made for iOS is amazing, as well as the plethora of specialized...

Yeah, I mostly use my computer to record practice sessions, band rehearsals, read and write sheet music, and record / compose some basic demos. The full music production part, being an acoustic instrumentalist (as opposed to electronic), has to be done in a professional studio. I can't afford a...

You've made a lot of good points. Thanks for mentioning omnifocus. Looks like a great app! (pricey though) The first generation iPad is getting old (2 1/2 years), as mobile devices seem to become obsolete even faster than desktop computers or laptops. Browsing the appstore, I see a lot of apps...

Exactly. I'm not sure it will allow me to type and edit documents as much as I'd like, but its ecosystem caters to musicians much more heavily. Because, unlike you, I've been on this forum for a while and have received from and given to to this community. In this sense, I felt like sharing my...

Hehe... That's okay, I understand why you would want a white one. It looks gorgeous, but I'm more of a practical guy so if use trumps looks, I'll always choose the first. I have the feeling the black bezel just kind of disappears while the white one constantly remains in your sight, reminding...

Black of course. I don't want an ugly bezel coming in the way of the display just to make a fashion statement. >:)

So guys, despite my love for WP and W8, I ordered an iPad 4. I should receive it next Monday. I really wanted to wait and get a Surface Pro, but the truth is iOS is still unrivaled as a platform for musicians. The sheer number of great quality apps for music production, recording, practicing...

All these pics look WAY better than most shot by professional reviewers. Hmmm, I wonder why?
