We're taking a break for a while, but here's a tiny episode to say goodbye for the moment. We're planning to be back, so please stay subscribed, and please follow us on some kind of social media for good measure, just in case the ties get cut.

Are music shops worth saving? Are subscription deals letting people down? Why are there no new synths to talk about? All these questions are half-answered in this slow-news episode.

A synth based on a cube, a synth based on thermodynamics, and an iLok based on the world's most annoying type of USB.

Elsewhere, Tim has bought something new and James has to guess what it is; we take an intimate tour of FabFilter Timeless 3's privatest parts; and we (don't) discuss regional words for bread rolls.

We investigate an acid banger that won't stop rolling, the new version of FabFilter Timeless, and the little-known technology that could… transform the world of plugins forever. Oh, and Tim is a YouTuber now.

It's a software haul as we check out two new synths, two new effects plugins, and Random Kontakt Instrument Corner makes a return. Elsewhere, we're chatting about our super-mature industry, and taking a couple of online quizzes. Tim is also a gay model now.

My life is crumbling to pieces and so is my audio input. Some of this episode is OK, some of it is completely not OK. I can't apologize enough, please seek retribution. James.

We chat about the tremendously featureful new version of Audacity, zplane's two-dimensional plugin that might help someone somewhere somehow, new news from Spectrasonics, and a wee bit more.
