The MPC Sample is my new favorite portable beat maker

Digital Marketing, Entertainment, Gadgets, Music, SEO Tips, Tech, Technology /
Akai MPC is one of the most storied names in music history. But over the last decade, it’s strayed pretty far from its roots as a humble sampler. The modern MPCs run virtual synthesizers, have complex arrangement tools, and sport large touchscreens. They have more in common with your computer running a DAW than they […]

Color isn’t essential in an e-reader, but let’s be honest, it’s a nice perk that can bring digital books, magazines, comics, cookbooks, and other publications to life. The catch is that color ebook readers tend to be substantially pricier, which makes today’s deals stand out. Right now, the Kindle Colorsoft (16GB) and Kobo Libra Colour […]

Column, Digital Marketing, Entertainment, Music, Music Review, SEO Tips, Technology /
Last week’s recommendation, Sotomayor’s Wabi Sabi, has a very particular vibe that you don’t find in a lot of records. One of the few things it called to mind was 2022’s Topical Dancer from Charlotte Adigery and Bolis Pupul, which I ended up revisiting this week a lot. The two records don’t seem particularly alike […]

The secret story of the vocoder, the military tech that changed music forever

Digital Marketing, Entertainment, Gadgets, Music, Podcasts, SEO Tips, Technology, Version History /
The vocoder was never supposed to be a revolution in music. It wasn’t supposed to be anything in music, really. Its development began a century ago, when an engineer at Bell Labs was looking for a simpler way to send phone calls across copper telephone lines. The engineer, Homer Dudley, built some pretty neat technology […]
