I think it was back in 1997, we were introduced to a piece of software called ReBirth. Developed by Propellerhead, a small company from Sweden, it swept the feet underneath us (and a few thousand others) by emulating two Roland TB-303 synthesizers, a Roland TR-808, and a Roland TR-909 drum machine all at once. And ah...remember the mods? Then, a few years later came Reason which is an essential part of our setup today.

And now what? They have done what they never said they were going to do, namely audio-recording. Propellerhead Software are introducing Record, which will be available in fall. And although we have absolutely no plans of ditching the ProTools setup any day soon, this looks quite impressing. Mixer with full EQ and all. I guess this might come handy doing outside-of-studio recordings or anything involving a laptop. We’ll see.
