The PreSonus Sceptre S8 is an extension of what S6 has to offer. It has a bigger woofer diameter and enclosure size then its smaller sibling. Numerous reports and testimonials have endorsed these speakers and almost every customer review contains the words “clear” and “pure”, and that’s not a coincidence. [...]
iZotope’s Ozone 7 makes mastering cheating, straight up. The plug-in features a set of high-quality components that have an outstanding design, which is of great importance to any producer, an aspect we’d like to lay a great deal of emphasis on. The visual traits of DAW are of great importance [...]
If one trend defines technology, it’s that we want everything to be smaller without compromising quality and power. In fact, we expect it to provide even better performance. This notion defines PreSonus’ Eris E44 and E66 MTM monitors. Back when the company announced them in October 2015, the press release [...]
After its debut, Studio One started to stand out for its strong effects, straightforward interface and usage, and easy audio and MIDI editing. Of course, as anyone will find with a DAW, Studio One had its weaknesses – mainly, a dearth of virtual instruments – and it seems that PreSonus [...]
The Fostex PX-6 appeared around this time last year as an upgrade to the PX-5. Monitors have turned into one of the studio’s most essential pieces of gear, and the PX-6 meets this need, especially in the under-$1,000 price range, with a sturdy design, simple functionality, clear and exact reproduction, [...]
Italian DJ/producer Stefano Kosa emerged four years ago and has since turned into one of Italy’s top underground performers. While DJing since 2003, Kosa put out his first official release, a single called “Again,” on Diva Records in 2011 and received support from Richie Hawtin not long after. Having a [...]
Out for nearly five years now, Native Instruments’ Maschine has set a new industry standard as a hardware-software beat-production workstation. Its functionality bypasses Akia’s MPC, while serving as a high-quality studio hub (but not a full DAW) with built-in sequencing, sampling, and loop slicing. Now considered Native Instruments’ top-tier groove [...]
Announced in September 2014, the Komplete Kontrol S-Series, a line of three MIDI controllers, essentially supersedes Native Instruments’ flawed Kore line with an entirely new set of features and functionality. Three sizes – S25 for a 25-key keyboard, S49 for 49 keys, and S61 for 61 keys, all with a [...]
Native Instruments excels in two regards: One, how easy its devices are to use, and two, the extensive palette its software programs offer. For the latter point, the variety and quality don’t just benefit the producer making a dance track but further prove to be an asset to those in [...]
Room 303, originally a deep house duo from Toronto and now the moniker of TJ Train, began just three years ago. The project quickly gained success, with a release out on London’s Love Not Money Records in 2011. More tracks came out on Subtrak, On The Prowl, and Casbour, and [...]
