| Posted: 29 Dec 2008 11:00 AM CST As the year finally comes to a close, it’s time for one more Beatportal Best Of. 2008 was an extremely innovative year for production tools, so our annual Top 10 of Tech focuses not only on the "best," but just as important, the most groundbreaking products. Because, like producers and DJs, tools that seem edgy and odd at first often become the most influential. Don’t believe us? Think back to 2001, when a tiny start-up in Berlin called Ableton created a niche software product that delivered time-stretching and audio manipulation via an exotic real-time user interface. Only a handful of geeky producers "got it" at the time. So as you ponder the winners, remember that our focus goes beyond features and functionality, taking futurism into consideration, as well. |
