I am new to this forum so please forgive me if i make any mistakes.
My main interest is in music and am therefore looking for recording and music-making software.
I have looked at Syntrax, Griff, Mixtikl and Meteor but so far am not impressed with any of them so was wondering if anyone was in the process of developing something new. I am not a programmer myself but do have a few ideas which as far as I can tell, have not yet been implemented in any windows mobile 6 apps.
One idea is for a low latency multi-track recorder that can use either bluetooth or wifi as an audio input, thereby enabling your phone to become a true multi-track recording device. The idea doesn't stop there, so if anyone is interested in hearing what else I have to say, feel free to contact me and we can discuss what is possible. I can't code such things, so would be very willing to collaborate with someone who can.
Anyway, that's it for now.
Hope to hear a reply soon!
If your interrested
Peace this Meezzofficial! I make music myself, and I'm currently on my 6 song. But as far as music software goes....I would suggest Fruity Loop. Music Maker. and Accoustica. To Meezz personally these are heavy hitters. But Fruity Loops first and hi me back!
Meezz!!
I think i've gone beyond the programmes you've suggested by quite a long margin which is why I would like to see something a bit more serious for windows mobile.
Hello everybody.
I'm a musician too and I'm thinking about some kind of musical notepad using piano roll view so you can tap any of keys on the edge of the screen to hear the notes which will be helpfull to develop the melody by ear, and then put blocks on piano roll to be able to set rhythm values and play whole thing.
Maybe I could try to write something like it but I am not serious programmer so it might take me a lot od time and effort
I think that multi-track recording on PDA is not reliable idea because it need good cpu and some serious audio card with high signal-to-noise ratio.
Hi guys,
I guess we all spent quite I time now playing with our Surfaces, so I wonder what the things are that bother you the most right now?
For me personally it comes down to two main things: Performance and a real video player
Performancewise I think the Surface has really good hardware, but either WinRT or the App optimization clearly lacks so far, as there are quite a few times when I'm thinking: Come on, that's all you got?! And I'm not even thinking UI performance or Desktop performance, as I'm quite happy with that, Metro's probably not iOS fluent, but it's definitely fluent enough, and also the occasional little lag when opening Apps is fine for me.
But the in-App performance is simply too bad. No matter if it's games (I guess I didn't find a single game with at least modest graphics which was really fluent) or the video player (come on, not being able to play a single SD .avi fluently?!).
And that already brings me to my secong point: Video Player. To put it quite simple, either Microsoft will come up with a better looking, better performing player that supports all the usual types of files (no .mkv?!), or a third party player will do the job. Or I'm going to send it back, as that's simply a no go for a tab.
In then meantime I'm halfway between amazed and frustrated what the Surface can and can't do
I could do with a video player that will play dvd ts format as I have loads on my nas, if anyone knows one already would be good to know i loved media centre would be great to get something like that.
I found pinball being open even in background creates a lag issue so i always have to shut it down fully, i wander if other apps are also having this effect? Could explain lag issues as once closed mine is back to full no lag speed. It has same effect if its only thing open or there is a load.

I am able to play 720p xvid/avi ripped from bluray with no problem. What type of avi are you playing?
Here is my list of complaints:
- No LTE
- Lack of apps
- Random hang ups or general app slowness and/or crashing (not a major problem, and will hopefully be resolved through OS and app updates)
- My iPad now is boring to use
I try to play xvid avis which are way more fluent on my notebook... But also other avis are more fluent on the notebook...

My negatives:
Very low volume
Quite heavy
No GPS
Occasionally touch pin keyboard does not show on wake up despite folded back. Need to use touch cover.
Occasional brief lags

There is a fix for the low volume. Check the tips and tricks thread.
I like the weight, right now the only downside I have is lack of VPN connectivity.
I'd like to see general performance enhancements but I believe those will come.

I know. I am the one who started the tips thread ? Still no loud enough though.

I think it's heavy as well...1/4 lb shaved off would be great, but it is the same weight as an iPad for those wondering.
My main complaint is the lack of POP3 email capability. I bought it mainly for work and my work email is a POP3, so this is a thing that will make me return it, even that I really love it far.

While somewhat convoluted, a work around is to send your work email to something like gmail which does support POP3, then link your gmail to the e-mail app on the surface.
To the OP, no tablet that I'm aware of supports MKV playback with first party video players. That is something the app store will take care of in time.
Anyways, no real complaints on my end, just some minor issues like the trackpad being a bit twitchy for my taste. Obviously the app store is a weak point, but that will get better with time and I bought the Surface understanding that.
Xda forum makes my Surface unresponsive if I'm using IE MetroStyle. If I switch to the full version everything works more or less fine.
thanks for posting these! I'm considering buying a surface and need to know these things.
I found in another thread that adding ad blockers lists in the Settings of IE fixes my performance issues when I'm using XDA, I tested and it works.

O/T but the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 does support MKV playback on the stock video player.

I don't know if this is also a wnrt app but a video app that might help in the app store is called multimedia8 give that a try they market it as being a multimedia playing app

It is a Windows RT app (which is different from a WinRT app- all apps are WinRT apps), however it still only plays the same files that the built-in player can. It's just a wrapper for that.
One of the primary reasons for getting a Surface for me was consuming video content. So far;
- Sky Go in the UK website uses Silverlight and there's no Silverlight support
- UK Football League websites 'Player' video services use Flash and they're not on Microsoft's whitelist (thank the lord for XDA Devs workaround for that one)
- No support for Windows 7 Media Center .wtv Recorded TV files, of which I have tons
Add on top of this buggy built in apps like People, Music & Video. There's enough about Surface that I still love it, and I know apps and updates will eventually resolve these issues but it's frustrating none the less.
My Surface creaks. Around the bezel at various spots near the edge of the tablet, if I press the bezel it goes in slightly as if there is a gap behind it or as if it hasn't been glued down properly. I tried this all around the tablet. I tried this on my friend's Surface last night but her screen is fine. So I am returning my Surface ? Does your creak?
I am missing a good forum to discuss issues people are having with their surface devices. I am totally happy with mine, but still misisng sume things. Where can I have useful discussions about this ?

Sorry for being to quick, I wanted to add some of my probs:
Pop 3 account. I already have read a lot of disussions on this and found some tips, but my provider only supports POP3
Synching my Windows Phon 7.5 (simply not working)
Locking the device when I close the lid, meaning if I close the cover (touch or type) I want the device to be locked
Support for older micro SD Cards. I cant my SD cards to work only the new SDHCX cards work
Does anyone know a good method to search the AppStore ? I realized that I am getting different results if I do a "general" search in the store or If I look for an app in the specific section. This is getting me mad.
When will MSFT release the final version of its Office 2013 products to the Surface users ? I already have it on my PC but the Surface still has a preview of Office 2013
Hello,
I bought my 8 year old a 9.7" android tablet.
I would like to get him an app or some way for him to listen to audiobooks and read along with the audio.
When he gets tired from reading, he could just listen to the audio and when he doesn't want the audio, he could just read himself.
I would like to emulate the experience of me reading to him pointing with my finger at the text, where we are right now, so he gets more familiar with the words.
I let him play a lot of Civilization 5 and give him advice on what to build etc, which makes him have to read 90% of the time he actually thinks he's just playing
I'm just trying to make reading a more enjoyable and less tedious experience for him because oftentimes he reads the letters, but can't figure out the word, it's supposed to be, especially when their foreign words.
I'd appreciate any advice you guys might have.
Just play the audiobook mp3 while the e-book is on screen. Almost all Android tablets support multi-tasking, so even when you switch to the view of the book, the mp3 will still be playing. This would not require any additional resources that the tablet does not already come with.

That's of course possible, but when you're not THAT good at reading yet, it's hard to find the exact line of the text, where the audio is. So, I don't know, something similar to Karaoke would be cool.
It'll especiallyhard, when you want to pause or start again, switching between the apps, without a hard button to push or to go back a few seconds or a paragraph
For years, I've had problems finding a working Flash Player for my LG P505 device. I had hunted so much for a working Flash Player on my Legacy device, that I gave up after many months. Then later, I came across a Flash Player that I had thought of as 'just another Flash Player' that wouldn't work on my device. After installing it to give it a try, it worked! It played the heavy streaming and games that I wouldn't have been able to play on other Flash Players whatsoever! It was lagging quite heavily, though, and to counter that issue, I had increased the RAM on my device. It works on EVERY possible Android device out there. If ANY of you are still in the hunt of a top-of-t'-line Flash Player, or already have one but cannot be able to play heavy games/streams on it, tell me. I have a semi-completed document introducing this Flash Player that is like no other, and also guiding you on how to increase the RAM on your phone (if in need) so that you can increase the speed of the Player (and overall the speed of your phone, in fact).
I'm trying not to hint the Flash Player that I use, just so that... you can see it after I introduce the player, I guess? Most (if not all) of you have heard of it, and it's possibly one of the most ignored best Flash Players out there. Many of you might be using it as well!
Please do tell us which Flash Players you use, and if you have any recommendations. Also, do tell me if you are not happy of the one you may have, and that if you want me to be posting about the Flash Player that has impressed me (and ALL others who have used it!) in every way possible.
Kind Regards,

I just use the regular Flash Player (Adobe).
Runs smooth for online videos and games.
There are some games (flappy bird, Leo's fortune etc) which does not allow volume control for them and I'm mostly listening to music whilst playing games on my s3 so I was wondering if there is any possible way of killing the audio of apps you want to cause it gets annoying listening to two different sounds at the same time , there must be a way since rooting your Android means gaining full possibilities and control over it and I think root could help us here someway, Thanks.
A work around

Not aware of a gentle way to do this but renaming the audio files/folder of your app in /data folder could do the trick. If this gives an FC, you can try replacing those audio files with dummy blank files having same name.
Thanks mate, going to try this out.
