Technology is BLOATED

Recent Posts, Blog

The internet has answers to all that you ask, it might be correct, or it might not, how do you know? Should you just look it up and believe what you read is true?

Hardware

Content is king, but creating content – especially audio/music production continues to evolve and become more accessible than ever. Those who have ever worked with the early 4 track Fostex or Tascams back when home studios were still a new thing for many musicians can probably attest to that. The cost was a big barrier for some, although it was often more cost-effective than paying for studio time. The Korg M1 workstation was a great tool for songwriters who wanted to sequence midi tracks and layer sampled waveforms to create a more complex sound.

The Digital Audio Workstatio...
