Music I’m listening to
I’ve been a big fan and ardent user of UVI Falcon for quite a few years. (Actually since before it was called that!) It’s hands down the most flexible, modular, limitless sound design tool available for general use. It’s all over my album (and plenty of other tracks) in various …
Just snagged one of these, the new CME H12MIDIpro, on the pre-order deal from CME Pro. I heard about this device just a few weeks ago via CME Pro’s customer mailing list and was intrigued. Right now I have three active dedicated MIDI controllers in the studio (and a few …
