See the latest computer music gear at Producer Sessions Live!

The time is nearly here for CM's first ever live event! Hosted in conjunction with our sister title Future Music, Producer Sessions Live is happening at SAE London on 25 and 26 September. The weekend is set to be a top one, stuffed with product demos and masterclasses from industry heavyweights and big-name producers.
