M-Audio Xponent Gig Bag

M-Audio are the latest to come up with a gig bag, this time for the excellent Xponent controller.

Padded sleeves protect your gear while the high contrast orange interior makes things easy to find in low light conditions.

Front compartment mesh pockets accommodate headphones, hard drives, flashlights and MP3 players.

Get it for £79 from maudio.co.uk.

Minimal Masterclass

Tech Editor David Eserin takes a refresher in music production online at Point Blank and diarises the events.

"After just three months of A-levels I dropped out of school to study Audio Engineering, but quickly discovered that building amplifiers from scratch wasn't helping my home productions sound any better, so I decided to set up a studio and teach myself. I made my fair share of tunes but was the stereotypical preset surfer.

"Starting the Point Blank course has left me kicking myself wishing I could go back in time and convince myself to do something as hands-on as this minimal techno course in Logic, rather than a cluttered academic yarn. This week I learned how to build an entire drum kit from scratch using synthesis, not samples - synthesis!

"The course is properly hands-on with stacks of easy to understand course material to guide me on my way and tutor Danny Lewis is on hand to answer my questions.

"I'm filled with inspiration and the course is also available in Ableton too."

Competition

Win Custom-Made Earplugs

It's damn important to stop your ears buzzing, fizzing or popping altogether. Once ear problems develop they may never go away. We've tried out the new ProGuard Custom Silicon Music earplugs. They're discrete, offer a flat frequency response and are moulded to fit the ear perfectly.

The more expensive ProGuard Pro Musician Earsonics make use of a passive filter with a loudness curve to make the world sound more natural, since the ear is less sensitive to highs and lows at low volumes.

We've got a pair of Earsonics (worth £172), two pairs of Silicon Music (worth £120) and three pairs of Alpine Music Safe Pro (£15.95) earplugs to give away.

To be in with a chance of winning, send an email to competition_DJmag@sensorcom.com simply telling us what the Music earplugs are made from.
