Welcome to Spot Review
Spot Reviews are a whole new way of reviewing computer music products on the web.
Spot Reviews are short reviews that cut to the chase. Because you are reading this on the internet you already have access to most of the basic information about the products reviewed here so we won't waste your time by restating all those details. Where appropriate we will simply include links to the manufacturer's web site. Spot reviews are designed to give you those few pieces of critical information that will tip the balance in your buying decision. Spot Reviews focus on key features that stand out as either unique or uniquely well done while pointing out aspects of the product that could prove awkward and, where possible, offering solutions. Spot Reviews won't arrive all at once either. They will be posted bit by bit as soon as the information is available so you can read it as soon as possible. This means that a Spot Review has a beginning but may never have an end. It will simply be revised as new aspects of the product are deemed worth mentioning. This also means that you can contribute to the Spot Review process by offering information about new products or those currently under review and that information, once verified, can be posted almost immediately for the benefit of others. If a manufacturer subsequently provides a workaround, fix, improvement or upgrade then that too can be used to add to or revise the review almost immediately. By focusing attention on the great aspects of some computer music products we hope other other manufacturers will take notice and improve their products as well. This way everyone can benefit.
On the left is a list of products in various states of the Spot Review process. If you have scrolled the page down far enough to read this they are probably too far up the page to be visible now. We list some products without any review information yet just to let you know that they are currently in the review process.
If you have a critical question about a product under review that you can't answer via the manufacturer's web site or tech support then please email us with your question by clicking on the email address found at the bottom of every page on this site. We will try to work with the manufacturer to see if there is a solution and post the answer in the Spot Review where appropriate. If there is a product that you would really like us to review let us know that too. We also like to hear what you like about a product you already own.
