![]() The cooling fans kick in quite often and can be noisy. There’s also an adapter for the larger iPhone 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max models to ensure it has a snug connection in the cradle.The back of the Razer Edge. It obviously makes sense from a practical perspective - you don’t want your phone coming loose and flying across the room during a particularly heated Fortnite or Madden session, of course - but still something to keep in mind. Not a dealbreaker, obviously, but it is something to keep in mind if you use a particularly hard-to-remove case. Of course, you can just snap your phone out and put it in the Backbone when you want to use it, but it creates an extra bit of hassle every time you go to play. This is also where the one negative of the Backbone comes in: you can’t use it while your iPhone is in a case, which can be a bit annoying, considering most folks keep their iPhone protected inside one. The controller expands out to allow a phone to slide in, and closes with a satisfying click, with the phone cradled between rubber lips to keep it firmly in place. Along with skipping the Bluetooth connection for latency, the controller also has a dedicated headphone jack, in case you want to avoid all things Bluetooth and plug straight in for audio. The Backbone’s design choices sidestep some of the typical problems you might run into with video game controllers. It all works seamlessly.įor players who are used to snagging screen grabs and gameplay clips, the Backbone records up to 1080p at 60fps with a 20mbps bitrate for clips up-to 15 seconds, all from a dedicated physical button. The phone locks in tight, and the input is instant across pretty much every service, from Apple Arcade games to PS Remote and more. After a few minutes, it’s easy to forget this isn’t one unified device. The device’s layout and usability is pretty much what you’d expect if you’ve ever played anything like a Nintendo Switch or SEGA Game Gear. In gameplay use, the Backbone feels surprisingly natural. That means no input lag, and no need to charge the Backbone, as it draws the power it needs directly from the iPhone (but don’t worry, it doesn’t pull enough juice to really notice). Instead of relying on Bluetooth to connect, the Backbone snaps the iPhone directly into its own Lightning port. ![]() But the devil is in the details, and the Backbone gets most of them very right. ![]() The hardware itself has everything gamers have come to expect from a modern controller, with dual joysticks, trigger buttons on the shoulders, a record/screen shot button, a D-pad, and the buttons all feel solid. Considering how many different services it brings under one umbrella, it makes for a surprisingly elegant solution. Taking things a step further, the unified Backbone app serves as a one-stop hub to access your games across various platforms from one convenient spot. The Backbone supports pretty much all the major services gamers would be looking for, including PS Remote Play for PlayStation, Xbox Remote Play and Game Pass Ultimate, Steam Link, Google Stadia, Nvidia GeForce Now, Apple Arcade titles and most major mobile games. It’s small enough to fit easily in your bag without eating up much space but checks all the boxes you’re likely looking for in a handheld controller, plus a few more. Once connected, the iPhone serves as the screen and computing power, and the Backbone is the controller. ![]() The device is basically an expandable smart controller that lets you to snap your iPhone into the middle of it. No extra full-size piece of tech required. Where companies like NVIDIA and Steam (and a whole lot more) are looking to be the answer with a full-on handheld streaming computer built into a rig with a screen and modern controller trappings, a few others are trying to find a solution that takes advantage of the super-computer you have in your pocket already. The only problem is figuring out exactly which device you’ll be playing everything on when that future gets here. We’re in the early days of what could be a cloud gaming renaissance, as the technology and bandwidth is finally catching up to the ambition and promise of a “play anything anywhere” kind of future.

Rather than flashy visuals or a silky smooth UI, Ableton’s strengths lie in its Session views and Arrangement. Compared to both options, Ableton is similar but different. This way you can still use VirtualDJ’s superior visuals and live playing options even if your mix was made with Serato. Anything crafted in Serato’s more spartan interface can also be performed live via VirtualDJ. Local music from Serato’s Crates can be pulled directly into VirtualDJ for easy access. Rather than capitalize and expound upon their differences, however, VirtualDJ wisely decided to instead integrate Serato with their own product: The streamlined interface makes it easy to alter and switch up tracks on the spot, giving it a leg up over VirtualDJ’s more complex, claustrophobic layout. While its selection is not as robust as VirtualDJ, Serato does have some capacity for live playing. It also offers all manner of mixing, scratching, and support for third-party controllers. Like VirtualDJ, Serato enables users to mix music stored or streamed from their personal computer. However, that’s not necessarily the case.

Though Craig has denied the statements made, Dance Gavin Dance has not backed off from those remarks, which they explain was the reason for all the band's problems and partly for his former band Ghost Runner on Third. There's not a bad track to be found here, but Craig tends to outshine his bandmates throughout." Įarly on in his career with Ghost Runner On Third it has been cited that overwhelming drug problems led to his departure, as told by Dance Gavin Dance in an old blog post concerning Craig after he was kicked out of the band. AllMusic stated that Craig was, "the band's secret weapon, a passionate vocalist.

I just wanted to get away from a lot of the problems that I was dealing with at home and stuff", Craig states in an interview with KLSU radio as his reason for starting his path in music. "I just wanted an escape from a lot of the things when I was a child I guess. As a child, he says that he "had a hard time keeping out of trouble" and that "high school wasn't for him." He would explain later that that was the reason he left high school and attained his G.E.D, then focused on music full-time. He was put into the school choir as a default elective but was ultimately kicked out. Craig cites some of his early idols as Boyz II Men and New Found Glory. In a further interview with the music blog Eat Yo Beats, Jonny said "my mom made me listen to tons of shit when I was kid, everything from Michael Bolton to some weird ass Christian rock bands" and also that it was this that became his main influence, rather than gospel music. Jonathan Monroe Craig was born in Minot, North Dakota, but grew up mostly in Canada and moved back to the United States when he became an adult.
