Roger Linn's Linn Drum sounds are on more hit records than any other sound. It was the first drum machine to use digital samples of real drums.
Sly and The Family Stone's There's a Riot Goin' On was one of the first big records to use a drum machine.

Writing to Heal: A Guided Journal for Recovering from Trauma & Emotional Upheaval by James Pennebaker

Excerpt from "The Spirit of Radio" by Rush, lyrics written by Neil Peart:

All this machinery making modern music
Can still be open-hearted
Not so coldly charted, it's really just a question of your honesty
Yeah, your honesty
One likes to believe in the freedom of music
But glittering prizes and endless compromises
Shatter the illusion of integrity, yeah

THX Talk with Jason Fiber and Kasson Crooker!

A few weeks back we had the great pleasure of talking with the dynamic duo of THX - CEO Jason Fiber, a man who has worn many hats, done many things in the / for the alternative / underground music scene and industry, now heads up one of the biggest names in audio visual technology, and the insanely dynamic and prolific Kasson Crooker, Director Of Product Development at THX. Kasson too is many things above and beyond his role at THX. He is an Electronic Music Artist, Video Game Music Composer, Videogame Developer, Sound Designer, Music Producer, the lot, who has many games and music releases to his credit.

In this episode, we talk THX Spatial Audio, DolbyAtmos and immersive audio with Jason and Kasson, we talk the state of the state for these technologies as well as the future. We talk production and his myriad works with Kasson, we talk to Jason about his path through the music scene and industry in LA up to his current role, and trade some stories along the way.

We had a great time with these two and hope you enjoy it!
