Jazzmutant Dexter review
There’s been a lot of talk for the last 9 months about the Jazzmutant Dexter, and yet the obligitory chinese whispers that come along with this kind of technology haven’t really developed past:
‘Have you seen the Dexter?.. It’s touch screen’.
The videos dotted around on Youtube and various blogs made us literally dribble with the excitement […]
All the news from NAMM Winter 08
I think it was Thursday or Friday I got an email from Stiff over at ProToolerBlog, telling me it was ok to borrow his news from the NAMM Winter 08 Show, as long as I credited him with it, which seemed more than fair enough. In fact, it was really good of the fella.

Yamaha M7CL Review
One of the gigs just before Christmas gave me the excuse to talk about a bit of kit I’ve used quite a bit over the last year or so. I already said that I took a PA rig over to Lowestoft and didn’t have to use it, as they had one in the venue. Who’d […]
Big Mick storms the O2 Arena by using more than one fader
So Led Zeppelin’s reunion gig - did anyone here go? Are you “Big Mick” Hughes? Audiotechnews would love it if you were, you and your wife.
Robert Plant’s personal sound engineer, Roy Williams, was on the desk too! I suppose it was a case of one hand each on the desk, and the remaining digits […]

Digico for President, please
OK, I admit I am to Digico D1 and D5 desks what the 12 year old ‘me’ was to Jet from Gladiators when she met me at a public appearance at Bruntingthorpe Air Base; star struck, in absolute awe, and systematically boxing above my weight, but SO damn ready to knock one out.
