On rare occasions, a specific instrument manufacturer becomes so iconic that their name becomes synonymous with the instrument itself. Guitars have the Gibson Les Paul and Fender Stratocaster, organs have Hammond, and synthesizers have Moog. While there is an ever-growing world of analog and digital synths, alongside ever-more imaginative software-based synth programs, Moog synths and their classic tone remain the brass ring for many. Responsible for the concept

My love affair with synthesizers began in the mid 1990s. With a number of electronic musicians flooding the airwaves with incredible synthesized music, I was drawn into this world and have been obsessing over it ever since. My very first synthesizer was a vintage Roland SH-09, which I still own today. At the time, computer-based synthesizers were in their infancy, so hardware was the only real option. As the years and technology progressed, I went to a mostly software-based studio, which is incredibly powerful, fun, and affordable. However, I

One of the easiest ways to improve your production, be it podcast, radio, film, or music, is to take a look at the type of device into which you are recording your audio. Most pros know—and will tell you—not all audio is captured equally. Integrating a portable digital recorder into your rig may seem like an obvious solution, but it is often overlooked, and is an excellent way to improve your audio quality.
As the audio needs of professionals and hobbyists alike run a gamut of complexity, from simple to intricate, a generous array of portable

Walk into the typical professional recording studio, and chances are very likely you are going to see Avid’s Pro Tools running as the DAW of choice, even among increasingly stiff competition from other software and recording systems. While many are familiar with Pro Tools from home and project studios, thanks to the host-based versions of Pro Tools (meaning they require no external hardware outside of an audio interface), most studios running Pro Tools are using a Pro Tools HD system. Since no DAW provides an inherent “sound” (the audio being

The drum machine is one of the most misunderstood of all musical inventions. Relentless in its metronomic precision, the humble beat box provides a flawless rhythm section that never tires of playing the same four-bar loop and never, ever, argues over “musical differences” with the rest of the band. But for all their dependable service over the years, some consider these obedient machines as the epitome of all that is lifeless, artificial, and robotic in music. One frustrated Los Angeles musician even mounted a misguided campaign some years

It was less than a year ago that Avid redefined the future delivery of its industry-standard software, Pro Tools, with the introduction of Pro Tools 12. Aside from the various licensing levels that provided a choice of a low-cost subscription service, outright ownership, or getting started with a free version of Pro Tools software, the new model would deliver any software updates during the first twelve months of ownership,
