\n\t\"Absolute<\/a>\"AbsoluteThanks to everyone who stopped by the Synthax Audio UK stand at the Absolute Music Open Day
\n<\/h3>\n

\n\tBig thanks to everyone who came to see us at Absolute Music in Bournemouth last weekend (Saturday 21st October). As always it was a pleasure to chat to musicians, producers and engineers about the products we had on show, which included a selection of pro audio gear from the likes of RME, Ferrofish, Appsys ProAudio, Icon Pro Audio, myMix, Pop Audio and Tracktion.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAbsolute have also announced the winner of the RME Fireface UFX II audio interface, which was given away as the top prize in their 'original song competition'. Congratulations to Harry Pane, whose song 'Fletcher Bay' was chosen from hundreds of entries by judges Ray Dorset of Mungo Jerry, and folk singer and guitarist Frank Turner. You can hear all of the finalists on the Absolute Music page<\/a>.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n
