| | Today's Review | Antelope Audio Pure2 Converter and Clock
By Rob Tavaglione
We first learned of Antelope Audio via its word clocks, some of the first premium clocks found in pro audio. Then its converters became wildly popular, especially the Orion 32-channel A/D and D/A (at a market leading price). By these virtues, the new Pure2 deserves a close inspection as it combines two channels of A/D and D/A conversion, as well as a master clock, clock distribution and enough I/O to suffice as a studio's sole DAW interface (at least for smaller systems).

| | Today's Blog | View from the Top: Proving the Importance of Focus: Matt Ward, CEO, Plugin Alliance
By Clive Young
Some of the most interesting developments in pro audio these days are happening in the world of plug-ins, so it's only fitting that Plugin Alliance takes an equally interesting approach to making itself known in that corner of the industry. Created as a sister company to Leverkusen, Germany-based Brainworx GmbH, the Santa Cruz, CA-based company is dedicated to the marketing, distribution and support of products from its 12 Alliance partners, which include Brainworx.
Overseeing Plugin Alliance is Matt Ward, who brought a lifetime's experience to the table when he joined the company in January, 2014. After spending most of the Eighties in retail, Ward spent the Nineties working with pro audio manufacturers such as Studer, Otari and E-MU Systems. After riding the turn-of-the-millennium dotcom bubble at Liquid Audio, Ward returned to pro audio in 2002 at Universal Audio, where he stayed until becoming Plugin Alliance's CEO.
“The experience at UA taught me a lot about how to grow a company,” he says. “The process of predicting a growth curve and trying to stay ahead of it with how you plan infrastructure is a real challenge—but it’s extremely important because it turns out that waiting for something to break and then doing something about it is not the best strategy. The other things that I’ve learned are the importance of focus, and to figure out what your company is really good at and then put all your energy into doing that.” More »
