PreSonus Eris E5 Active Studio Monitor Review When I hear Presonus I think of awesome preamps and digital mixers, so it was a nice surprise to hear that they’d entered the realm of studio monitors. This is quite a brave move from their part, as this is a market which is already flooded with entry […]
It’s without a doubt that AKG have made some serious headway in the dynamic microphone market in the last couple of years. I’ll be reviewing three different mics in the D range: The D5 vocal mic, the D12 kick drum mic and the D40 tom mic. These mics are all more or less in the […]
Starting out as a music producer can be a daunting experience. I know this first-hand. I used to record audio with my computer mic because that was the only way I knew how to record stuff. I did all my mixes using my dad’s old listening headphones (which sounded cool on the headphones), but I didn’t […]
WHAT IS IT? The LaunchKey, as the name suggests, is the birth child of Novation’s LaunchPad and a keyboard. It’s available in a… you know that ‘Take My Money’ meme? Well that’s how I felt when IDM chief Dave Mac dropped this baby off. I hadn’t even opened the thing and I wanted to buy […]
WHAT IS IT? When Novation released the Launchpad in 2009 it was a revolutionary tool for Ableton Live users across the world. Designed in partnership with the Ableton folk, Novation created a MIDI controller that works perfectly in Live by giving performers the freedom to launch samples or entire scenes at will. The Launchpad was […]
WHAT IS IT? Back in the days of CDJ dominance when controllers were just starting to break ground I reviewed the Hercules RMX and, for its time it was the benchmark device which really launched the Hercules brand. Nearly ten years later and controllers have become the staple choice of new DJs looking to learn […]
WHAT IS IT? The Graphite 25 is the ‘mini-me’ of the Graphite 49 which I reviewed in the Nov/Dec edition last year. It has the same metallic look and feel but obviously with less keys and a trimmed down control surface. Although there are less bells and whistles the controller definitely doesn’t feel like any […]
What Is It? It seems that the MPC range has been around forever. Since the launch of the MPC60 in 1988, Akai Pro have created a legacy by producing hands-on hardware beat machines with awesome sequencing and sampling ability. The sad truth is that it’s become easier to make beats on your laptop and although […]
Novation returns to its roots in hardware synths, but with virtual analogue technology What Is It? The UltraNova is a virtual analogue synthesizer – the latest addition to the Nova series by Novation. Its predecessor, The SuperNova II was launched in 2000 and was the go-to synth for dance producers everywhere, but slowly went into […]
Eve Audio SC207 2-Way 7″ Active Monitor, What is it? Eve are new comers on the monitor market, founded in 2011. The similarities to ADAM Audio, other than the cheeky name, run a bit deeper than that with ex-Adam Audio CEO, Roland Stenz leaving to become Eve’s principal designer. Despite the folded ribbon tweeter and some […]
