Gobbler – Creative Cloud Collaboration for Musicians

·0 comments·

Artists have been able to collaborate by emailing song ideas back and forth for some time now. But in this age of cloud storage and sharing, collaboration is easier than ever before. Now SONAR X3 users can share, backup, store, and save their work right from the Control Bar using Gobbler. Email projects without having to quit SONAR, or even switch on Gobbler’s auto-backup feature so that projects save in the background. Gobbler is easy to use and does not require any additional installation thanks to the deep integration that SONAR X3 brings to the table. SONAR X3, SONAR X3 Studio, and SONAR X3 Producer users all have the ability to take advantage of this incredible tool.

Gearjunkies 10 Years: A Look Back

·0 comments·

Our regular visitors and Twitter followers have already noticed that this week we celebrate the 10th Anniversary of the presence of Gearjunkies.com on the world wide web. Today we take a look back.

So, … how did it all start then, back in 2003. Two guys from Eindhoven (The Netherlands) were sitting outside a cafe enjoying a drink in the sun. Marc van den Hurk, a DJ/producer and studio owner, and Mark Dobrinic, a software programmer, were discussing the remains of a webshop project that went ‘belly up’. From this project a database existed with lots of gear and the related product information. Both thought it would be a shame if this information would be lost. But what to do with this database? Why not create an information portal for gearheads and gearlovers alike?
