As a dry run for our forthcoming Live Blog, I'm running a test to see how the tech works for this new feature. I'll try and make it moderately interesting, but the real good stuff is yet to come. We've lined up a string of folks who are either touring, working in the the studio or doing other interesting stuff to document their day and post to Sonic State.

Today, its me, Nick Batt - editor to be the guinea pig (obviously thats not actually me).

Enjoy...

Dave Spiers in his new studio looking serious - we just did a test call to see if his bandwidth was okay. Good to know we have at least one guest!

While on the call, this bendable speaker press release came in:

Bendy speaker...

Right, thats it for me. Thanks for following the stream today. I think the tech is pretty much sorted. Next time we'll be following some proper celebs - Steve Stevens and Jordan Rudess up next

Researching for todays Sonic TALK (live at 4pm today) I'm beginning to get that irrational desire that Apple products occaisionally bring out in me, for reference, last time was the iPad.

Replacement Uad2 satellite quad arrived. Looking forward to getting stuck into the Ocean Way reveiw. Heard great things about it so far

Even though the sun isn't shining today, its lovely and verdant outside the office.

Got to get back to editing the video review we shot for Amped - the Orange
OR-100 is a beast. Its a muscle amp for the serious touring musician. I’m
not looking forward to them coming to pick it up, I’m going to struggle to
get this thing back in the box, it weighs around 25KG.
Should be ready soon, though I must admit, after seeing the new Mac Pro
preview, working on this old Mac 8-core feels sluggish…

Also pleased to see that the unfeasibly large 42" monitor we got from Ebay has not fallen off the stand and crushed the Jupiter 6
