Despite the long tail effects of a sharp economic downturn here in America, 2009 seemed to be a barn-burner year for music production software. Many companies delivered on promises made at the 2009 NAMM Convention back in January by coming through with products that have advanced the composing game a few steps ahead yet again. [...]

I am not the most tech-minded of people. I thought Logic 9 was 64-bit until it was pointed out to me on Twitter that it wasn’t. I didn’t care though. It still runs lovely and fast. And on Snow Leopard too, which is a shock because I thought I was being a little risky upgrading [...]

Christmas lists!” And so far, even just halfway into the month, there’s been enough gear mentioned that a composer would have to sell a kidney (or 8 or 9 kidneys) to afford it all.
