Top audio software: samplers, synths, effects

There is a large range of PC and Mac audio software in the UK for home projects, small studios, workstations and large recording studios.

The price of software is such that you need to make an informed decision on everything including which platform you are going to use, sequencer, sampler, wave processing, synths, studio FX and music production and mastering tools. Many manufacturers of audio software also provide hardware solutions. Hardware features extra memory and power for processing CPU-hungry applications such as reverb, compression, vocoders and delay.
