Audionautic Awards 2024 - Our Favorite Hardware, FREE Software & More

Free stuff has been massively underwhelming this year. The one exception that comes to mind is zebralette 3, which is chefs kiss. Paid stuff in software has been similarly uninspiring for 2024. All this talk about tech, AI, etc, but where has the innovation been? Lots of marketing speak throughout 2024 but very little new product. Kilohearts had a good year, bringing a bunch of table shaping tools to sound design, but the years has been a pale shadow of 2023 for new ideas in the market.

Couldn't agree more, the free game certainly has been squeezed. The Marvelisation of Music production perhaps?
