Major credit for this issue goes to editor David Baer, whose computer crapped out just as he was getting ready to format the articles for publication. Yet, he still managed to coordinate the issue with all the contributors via his smartphone, and then likely put in some long hours to get it all assembled. I know he must dread getting my verbose submissions with all their screenshots, but he never complains.
I'd also like to add a shout out to Mr. Meldaproduction, Vojtech Meluzin over in Prague, CZ. No matter how much I pester him with questions he always replies right away with concise answers. Seven days a week, too. I don't think the guy sleeps. Although I'm currently testing just how much patience he has with the article I'm working on for the September issue. After that one's done I promised to go pick on somebody else for awhile.
 All else is in doubt, so this is the truth I cling to. My Stuff

Thanks for the kind words, CC. I should probably give you a heads up, though. In the next issue (September), I'm scheduled to review Sample Tank 3. Just be forewarned - I might be saying some very nice things about it.

Honestly, I wouldn't expect anything less...there's not doubt it will be a decent product... Sadly, from a company who's business practices and treatment of customers is last on their priority list....and making money IS on the top... It is, sadly, a fact, that GAS wins over common sense, logic, reason (not the DAW's) and anything else for that matter... So that being said...as everyone eagerly waits in anticipation of their Pre-Order of this "more the 10 years in the (screwing with, and THE, Customer) making" flagship sampler that has been so meticulously and elegantly sampled with every conceivable Mic and instrument that has ever been made in the history of history.... Oh yes...and let's NOT forget those ever important, and highly touted, "STUNNING 3D ICONS!!!" I don't know...I think we're all nuts to just keep handing these companies money while they slap us in the face and tell us how much would should enjoy it...but that's just me...  ...end of story bye bye... =P

This seriously puts many of the industry whore mags to shame. When I look at most mags it is very clear where there ad dollars come from.

dmbaer you are doing a Great Job and Service to our entire community. Many Thanks for your dedication. As far as ST3, I pre-ordered from SweetWater but, still not real sure if I/anyone will have it by the September issue...  Kind regards, Rick

David and David. This is an outstanding publication that puts me in mind of Sound on Sound. I like everything about it. The articles are enlightening and very nicely written. SoundBytes is a jewel that is not rough cut.

Very helpful info in this issue! Way to go! We can all use this, thanks!
Two internal 2TB SSDs laptop stuffed with Larry's deals and awesome tools. Studio One is the cat's meow as a DAW now that I've migrated off of Sonar. Using BandLab Cakewalk just to grab old files when migrating songs.

Just read the Steven Howell tribute.
“Hollow Sun advertising emails were the opposite of an annoyance. I opened them eagerly and they always made my day!”.
How very true! I fear we will not see his like again.

Wow, this thread has made my day ... make that made my year. Thanks for all the positive feedback. But I want to say that the credit goes to a lot of folks, not least of whom is my coeditor Alex Arsov. All the writers are all volunteers and some of them put a lot of time into their contributions. We might get some Free-Sh*t (TM) in the form of NFR software for review, but that's not the reason I do this and that probably holds true for all the other writers as well.
Thanks, all.

The fact that you have a volunteer staff that contributes so much only makes the zine MORE amazing imho. You just don't get the kind of detail in most magazines or websites. bitflipper's review of the Melda dynamic plugins is beyond in-depth. It truly explains what they do and the differences. Most reviews read like just a reworded press release with a few things they don't like thrown in for good measure. Every review i have ever read in soundbytes seems like it was given by someone who actually used the product for more than the few days they were writing the review.

I just wanted to add my appreciation, as well. Particularly to bitflipper's articles. I can't think of many other reviews that do such a good job of highlighting not only what a plugin does but giving practical uses of where it may prove useful beyond the immediately obvious.
