So, that was a busy time, and I hope it’s useful to maybe find some things that you missed over the last few days.
I thought that I’d also add a few things that you can expect to see from Palm Sounds next week too. I’m planning to give some updates on some of the events I’ve been at over the last couple of weeks. Events like, ROLI’s modern music industry event, Innovate UK 2014, Apps World Europe, Microsoft’s Future Decoded, and Music Production Expo. Hopefully you’ll find those useful too.
