We are awash with various dynamics tools these days, but don't sleep on this. GMaudio is a deceptively simple upward compressor that you'll want in your Ableton Live arsenal, as it can scale effortlessly from nuance to extreme. And it's remarkable that it's free; it almost...

Native Instruments has updated their Kontrol S-Series with a single big glass screen, redesigned buttons, and one big new feature - polyphonic aftertouch, for per-key expression. But those premium features will command a premium price, at $749 up to $1299 for the 88-key...
