We're stepping things up this episode with two new parts of the show: a software giveaway with discoDSP, and a classy producer chat with Charlie Bierman, aka Break. Elsewhere, there's Zithers aplenty, a new remix project, and a sonic exploration of the TB-303.

Soundcloud distribution, virtual record crates and MIDI watches are high on the agenda this episode. Elsewhere, A4P goes IRL, as we turn a slow news fortnight into an unremitting philosophical enquiry into the troubles of the human soul.

If you're still reading this, please send help. I'm trapped in the body of a music producer, and I have very little financial independence. I have no idea what an Ableton is, but I think it's some kind of hammer.

After overflowing with news, we direct the excess gushing towards the Arturia MicroFreak synth, Tracktion Waveform 10, Auto-Tune Access and – ye gads – another MIDI ring!

REVIEW US ON ITUNES, YEAH??

https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/appetite-for-production/id1377207516?mt=2

We check out a $990 EQ plugin, discover a particularly magical Kontakt instrument, and run down some of the biggest new releases from NAMM 2019.

We turn our finely-tuned cynics' eyes towards /r/synthesizers' gear review of 2018, discuss the recent Resident Advisor comments section shutdown, and speculate on Behringer's 40 upcoming Eurorack modules.

James and Tim talk animal IRs, the existence of clipping, the world's best compressors, GarageBand's super-sweet 15th, and the ongoing strange choices of Propellerhead.

We hand down the verdict on Loopmasters Khords, make a plea bargain with Korg's forthcoming Volcas, and sentence Robin Thicke and Pharrell Williams to life in prison.

HOWZABOUT A FIVE STAR REVIEW ON iTUNES?

Not that iTunes makes searching for stuff easy

Non-special, non-Christmas episode. Our intrepid plugin-hounds sniff out Arturia's new synth, play dead for a wall-mounted speech synth, and roll over for Spitfire Audio's free LABS instruments.

Oh, and there's twenty minutes EQing a tambourine to enjoy!

The lord of all EQs meets the lord of all tutorials, the Elka Panther meets Psytrance (again), silent discos meet with disapproval, and law meets boredom for the Music Modernization Act.
