What is TechTrends?

A better question might be, who is Tony Thomas and why did he create this web site? Well, I have been a professional writer for more than 25 years. In 1978, I started as audio editor for SCENE Magazine in Cleveland, OH, a post I held at two different times over a two decade period.  In the 80s and 90s, my articles and reviews appeared in numerous publications including Scene, Recording, Mix, AV/Video, Roland Users Group, Millimeter, Recording Engineer and Producer, Transoniq Hacker and others.

In the world of technology, it seems like something new is happening every nanosecond.  As a writer, one of my biggest frustrations is the length of time it takes for my articles to see the light of day.  By the time my work hits the stands, it is often weeks or months out of date.  With the emergence of the Internet, there is a unique opportunity to promulgate information instantaneously to a worldwide audience.  Because of that, I feel that it is a wonderful forum to impart news, views and reviews of new and emerging technologies with the immediacy that print can never duplicate.

Some of my interests include music, MIDI, computers, digital audio and electronics.  Here, I'll attempt to give you the freshest scoop on products and trends that I find enlightening and revolutionary.  I hope you enjoy it and welcome your feedback!
