Magazines

More than 1500 of my articles and reviews have been published in more than 45 different magazine titles since 1988.

Music Technology and Music Production

I specialize in writing music and audio software reviews and technical articles and reviews of audio hardware and recording equipment. I also do interviews with music producers and write about music production techniques.
