A couple of months ago, I made a decision to switch from Cubase as my DAW to Presonus Studio One. After 6 years of using Cubase, it wasn't exactly a trivial thing to do. I've been availing myself to several of the Youtube channels that cater to information, tutorials and tips. Lately, I started watching a regular livestream by Home Studio Trainer. He has live streams nearly every day where he touches on some new or oddball tip for using Studio One. I have rarely caught his streams live and usually watched the archive, usually later on in the same evening.
Tonight, I managed to catch his live stream. While running it, he announced a drawing would be held during this evening's show, for a Presonus Atom. It's a Production and Performance Pad Controller. I've been thinking about getting one to make my most recent obsession (soup-to-nuts recordings) a little easier, especially for preparing the drum tracks, which I hand write into a MIDI editor. All you had to do to enter was to send an email during the live stream. What could be easier? So I fired one off and enjoyed the rest of the livestream. Near the end, he drew a name, and it sounded a whole lot like mine. It WAS mine!
So there's about $150 I don't have to spend for something I was going to get anyway! BTW, if you're using any version of Studio One (Prime, Artist, Pro), check out his Youtube tutorials. He's very specific about the subjects he covers. It's not exactly a beginner's channel, but he lays things out in a very concise way.

So, now I need to rethink my computer desk to make room for a new piece of gear. If you're wondering what an Atom is, here's a link to a Presonus video about it.
