New, Improved M-Audio Axioms, Q&A, and Controller Keyboard Choices

Avid is updating their M-Audio Axiom line of USB controller keyboards. New in this version is DirectLink, which provides automatic mappings for software like Ableton Live, Logic, Cubase, and of course Avid’s own Pro Tools, similar to what’s in the Axiom’s big-brother Axiom Pro.

DIY MPC: User Builds the Controller MOTU’s BPM Drum Sampler Forgot

Share

David Pogue made the immensely-successful Missing Manual book series in order to fill in for the manual that should have been included with software.
