Music and recording technology
As a self-confessed music and recording technology addict, I’m always interested in what’s new in that world. And, for the last 20+ years, I’ve had the good fortune to be able to write about it both online and for Sound On Sound magazine.
This blog and vlog is my own space that lets me share all the music technology stuff – for example, Steinberg’s Cubase – that sparks my interest and, in doing so, it reduces the odds of my head exploding 🙂
You absolutely do not have to read any of what follows but, if you do, here’s hoping it helps in some small way….. Oh, and do note, full versions of any SOS articles become available to all readers (even without an SOS subscription) six months after their original magazine publication date.
