 Hi! Everyone & welcome back to my blog. A new live entertainment venue opened last month called: THE SPHERE in Las Vegas. The first performer in residency is the band U2. THE SPHERE are planning between 4- 6 residencies a year. You may have seen the LED display around the outside (which looks very spectacular). Lets talk about the state-of-the -art sound-system known as 'Sphere Immersive Sound' (powered by 'Holoplot').  This is the worlds most advanced concert-grade audio system.

 Hi! Everyone & welcome back to my music blog. RIP SINEAD O CONNOR- It's 1990 & as a child I remember hearing the song & seeing the iconic video for: 'Nothing Compares to You'. It was No.1 in the UK charts. The song & video stood out to me. I like her performance in the video for that song. Another 2 songs that I really liked is when she sang the vocals for the trance song: 'Tears from the Moon (Tiesto in Search of Sunrise Remix)-CONJURE ONE & 'Troy (Push Remix)'. She released 10 albums over the years. Her most successful album; 'I do not want what I haven't got' in 1990.  Sinead was not afraid to speak out. I don't think it's easy to speak out. I admire her for that.  DIGIT MUSIC have announced the 'CMPSR' (pronounced 'Kuhm-pow-zuh). What is it? Remember the gamer style joystick? Well, it has a joystick with 8 pads. It's a midi instrument.

 Hi! Everyone & welcome back to my music blog. WAVES AUDIO announced that their plugins would be subscription only.After reading comments from loyal users of waves plugins who lets say were not very happy, waves changed their tune & decided to bring perpetual licenses back (as well as a subscription).Yes, there will still be a waves subscription but perpetual licenses will be coming back.   I'll be honest i've not used Waves plugins for many years now. Some of the plugins I did like. One of the reasons is because of the waves update plan (which i believe will still be in place when the perpetual licenses are back).     RODES are back with another wireless Mic called the Rode Wireless ME  It features: Dual Microphone system (Transmitter & receiver) Can handle SPL levels of around 122db (Also, come with Gain assist to avoid clipping) Up to 100 Metre Range  USB C 2.4 GHZ Transmission Works with iPhones, Android phones, computers & c...
