By Strother Bullins, Editor of Pro Audio Review
English manufacturer Audient—founded by David Dearden and Gareth Davies, Soundcraft veterans and founding partners of DDA—has built moderately-priced yet great sounding, fully-professional analog recording gear since 1997. The brand is bolstered by its founders' history, knowledge, and experience in the industry; for just one popular credit, Dearden worked with three-fourths of the Beatles (Lennon, Harrison and Starr) on both analog console maintenance and design/build projects. Both Dearden and Davies are veterans of the console industry, having a unique insight into building authentic British analog (or as the Brits say "analogue") consoles and recording gear, in general.
Their latest (possibly the product to raise their brand's profile amongst the self-recordist crowd) is the iD22, a Mac OS-compatible, USB-based audio interface and monitoring system featuring a two-input, six-output 24-bit, 96 kHz AD/DA with ADAT optical I/O and a number of attractive features, including two fully balanced quarter-inch TRS inserts (perfect for those of us with favorite analog outboard processors to incorporate into our DAW-based productions).

By Clive Young, Managing Editor for Pro Audio Review
Rutherford Chang is an artist who is also a record collector—which is to say, he collects a record: The Beatles' White Album. To date, he has over 900 copies of the original 3 million-plus pressed when the 2-LP set was first released 1968, and has been presenting them as an art exhibition, We Buy White Albums. While the exhibit is primarily a visual experience, providing the opportunity to see the album in remarkably different states of decay (it will next be presented at the Atlanta Contemporary Art Center in January), Chang recorded 100 copies, layering them on top of each other, and has now released the results on vinyl, too. "I'm recording all the vinyl for the purpose of pressing a new vinyl which will be all of these recordings layered on top of each other with all of the skips and scratches," said Chang when we first covered his art in February, 2013. "You can hear all the differences between the albums as you play them, because it will start out with each side synched, and as it plays, they'll go out of phase so it'll be a gradual process."
