I remember back in 1990 (aged around 9 or 10) being at a friends house & borrowing the cassette of NOW 18.  (I would then go on to purchase the cassette not long after). At etc time I thought this was a great compilation album (Stepping back in time with Kylie Minogue, Holding on with Wilson Phillips etc) I went on to collect NOW 18- NOW 24 on cassette (which I think I still have these) I got NOW 25-NOW 26 on CD (after that I didn't purchase them as much) Along the way we've not just had the numbered NOW albums, we've had: NOW DANCE, NOW CLUB HITS, NOW CHRISTMAS, NOW FITNESS, NOW RUNNING, NOW JAZZ, NOW REMIX etc Here are some facts: The biggest selling NOW album was NOW 44 released in November 1999. It was released on CD, Minidisc & cassette (I still have the CD today) NOW 43- NOW 48 were available on minidiscs NOW 64 was the last NOW album to be released on Cassette (2006) NOW 62 was the first NOW album to be released as digital download (2005) As ...

As some of you may or may not know I love music technology. Recently I purchased a second hand  8 channel DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) with motorised faders for good 'ole' Cubase. The idea is using this controller to mix audio with would make life a easier than clicking & using the mouse all the time. I was looking forward to using this controller because I've never had a controller with motorised faders or a proper control surface before. I did know when I bought the item that 1 of the faders needed to be looked at (it wasn't working properly, which I didn't mind too much) The controller arrived & I faffed about trying to set it up. (The manual was as much use as a tortoise with airbrakes). I did mange eventually to set it up with the right drivers, firmware etc (Thankyou youtube) Once I had set everything up I noticed another fader was not exactly doing what its suppose to. Hmmmmmmm! I thought maybe calibrating the faders, resetting them etc hopeful...

Recently a new company called OH MY BYTES released details of 2 brand new midi controllers. They were: THE HICKORY & THE DICKORY.  I have to say these are a great idea, I'm excited😀😀 Why? Well, if you are a fan of Fabfilters Pro Q 2, Compressor C2 &  Pro L2 Limiter then these controllers are ideally for you. I have to say I am a fan of Fabfilters plugins (especially the Pro Q2, I use that EQ on a lot of my mixes, Im a huge fan of the Pro Q2) THE HICKORY- This midi controller is for the Pro Q2 (it can be used for other midi eq plugins) It comes with 1 High Pass Filter, 1 low pass filter & 5 parametric eq bands etc  THE DICKORY- The upper part of this controller is for the Pro C2 (compressor) & lower part for the Pro L2 (limiter) I don't normally put in a pre-order for music gear, however this time was an exception. I couldn't resist pre-ordering THE HICKORY.  If you would like to find out more about Oh my Bytes & their midi con...
