We’ve been putting the Franklin Audio Devices MP-10 through its paces, and in our latest review we take a closer look at this compact Australian-made mic preamp.

With up to 60dB of gain, 48V phantom power, a simple output meter and a rugged, pedalboard-friendly design, it’s a refreshingly straightforward piece of pro-audio kit.

Think Eurorack is just for synthesis? Think again.

In this September 2026 Technique article, we explore how modular can become a versatile part of a traditional recording setup — from adding unique sounds and textures to processing and experimenting with recorded material.

We look at what Eurorack can bring to the studio and, more importantly, practical ways you can integrate modular into your own recording workflow.
Whether you’re already deep into modular or wondering how it could fit alongside your existing studio setup, this Technique guide is packed with ideas to explore.

beyerdynamic has a long history of professional monitoring, and with the new DT 30 IE, the company is bringing that experience to a more affordable universal-fit in-ear monitor.

Rather than targeting a specific type of performer, the DT 30 IE is designed as an all-round stage monitor, featuring a compact design, single 11mm dynamic driver, detachable MMCX cable and up to 39dB of passive isolation.
But in a market packed with affordable IEMs, does Beyerdynamic’s experience translate into a genuinely capable everyday monitor for musicians?

👉 We put the DT 30 IE through its paces in our review to find out.

TBT • September 2011

A look back at John Mellencamp’s “Jack & Diane” — the 1982 classic that turned a simple story about two small-town teenagers into an enduring slice of Americana.

In this Classic Tracks interview, Producers Ron Albert & Howard Albert and Engineer Donald Gehman discuss the recording of the track, the creative decisions behind the sound, and how this understated story became Mellencamp’s only US #1 single.

Released on American Fool, “Jack & Diane” spent four weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100 and went on to become one of the defining songs of its era.

A classic track — and a fascinating look behind the recording www.sosm.ag/JohnCougar

Erica Synths add to their “not just for education” range with the Bullfrog Drums — an extremely playable drum machine that proves educational instruments don’t have to be simplistic.
Following the original Bullfrog, developed with Richie Hawtin, this latest instalment combines a hands-on, school-friendly approach with genuinely serious sonic potential. Don’t let the cute frog fool you: this is a proper drum machine for grown-up musicians.

Mylar Melodies RANDOM8 — Alex Theakston’s debut module, made with Befaco, brings eight channels of highly controllable random voltage into just 8HP.

More than just eight channels of S&H, RANDOM8 can generate evolving modulation and melodies across your whole system. Dedicated attenuation on every output, simple controls, flexible triggering, division, probability, scales, slides and — crucially — per-channel looping make this a seriously thoughtful module for creating constantly evolving patches.

A brilliant idea, beautifully executed.
