Since 2002, mixlab director Greg Paxton has authored numerous product reviews for audioMIDI.com, covering an array of software and sample libraries from companies like Best Service, Bela D Media, East West Studios, Native Instruments, Synthogy, and Steinberg. Mixlab now builds on that experience by offering an in-depth blog about unique sample products that appeal to a cross-section of virtual musicians. Mixlab reviews feature products that showcase expressive and innovative approaches to sample libraries and production software, by providing the reader with in-depth and real-life perspectives. In addition to the currently featured product, be sure to also check out the "Mini" review section for a quick-take on other product releases. 

Let's face it, all reviews are biased to some extent. However, with the goal of providing diverse perspectives for real users, our published reviews are open to reader comments and questions. Similarly, developers are also invited to share their perspectives, as well as answer posted questions. In this way, product information is not tethered to a specific company or sales expectations, but focuses on providing practical information that address the creative (and budgetary) needs of the musician.
