I have always been intrigued by Eurorack or modular synthesizers in general. The ability to pick and choose your own

My graduation research project from the HKU was about collaboration methods for applied music productions. During my research, I interviewed
Computers are machines I couldn’t live without. But sometimes they tend to get in the way of creating music. That’s
Have you ever heard that annoying buzz coming out of your speakers? I certainly have been listening to that same
Have you ever wondered how that one track you absolutely love was made? A producer won’t give away his secrets
Making the perfect kickdrum always seemed like an impossible task to me. How do professional producers create kicks that sound
Since I learned a lot from music production blogs, I decided to make a short list of music production blogs that produce good quality content. […]
Everybody listens to different kinds of music. Just like some people love to eat sushi when others can’t stand it, there are people who love your music when others hate it.

Each DAW is bundled with a huge amount of different audio processing plugins. With all these plugins at hand, why are people still buying third-party plugins? Don’t they have enough tools to play around with already? […]
