The answer is probably the one you already have ;-). But if you are thinking of an upgrade perhaps you are on the lookout, as I was recently and wondered if there is any Laptop that stands out when used with FL Studio? Having used many PCs and Laptops, alongside Control Surfaces and other supporting... Continue Reading →
Back in the day (the '80s or possibly 90's) my wife and I were in America and saw one of these babies in operation in a small toy shop window. Obviously, we had to have one (ahem, in case we ever had kids). It is now a part of our annual Christmas decorations so thought... Continue Reading →
My own Surface Duo is probably the worst case of this issue as the previous owner dropped it! This was good and bad, good in so much as I bought it for a great price (see my previous post), not so good as I have to deal with the issue - and I don't want... Continue Reading →

So having established how useful I believe the "Touch Portal" app will be in my personal music workflow I decided I wanted to have a dedicated "client" positioned alongside my Control Surface to take over duties (for the most part) from my phone. Credit to the developers they have bean able to maintain compatibility with... Continue Reading →
