So there are a few Magic Leap 1's on the market at the moment at some good prices (expect to pay around £500 for one that is in good condition - quite a comedown from the original £2,000 asking price!). I picked up one of these and after charging it up it took me through... Continue Reading →
So we all know Reverb as the smartest place to buy and sell music related gear, but perhaps we didn't realise that they also host a bunch of great free plugins? Here I look at their synth collection and wire up automate the mapping of each plugin's key sonic parameters to the FLKey keyboard from... Continue Reading →

So as a typical geek I like to have new gadgets but always attempt to recycle my old (phones) so that I am not paying any extra. I thought it might be interesting to see how successful I have been over the last few years (well, interesting to me anyway) Current Phone - Microsoft Surface... Continue Reading →
So I love FL Studio but I am curious about the 3D sound options that come with the latest version of Logic Pro X so I thought I would try a change in the workflow - still composing in FL Studio but then exporting stems to Logic for Mastering.
