- Innovative products for computer music
When it comes to music production, it's a digital world - and we wouldn't have it any other way. Yet there are significant advantages to certain aspects of the "old school" analog studio workflow - especially the intuitive, hands-on aspect. The Livid Ds1 was co-developed with Dubspot, one of the world's leading schools for electronic music production. Dubspot saw a need for universal controller rugged and versatile enough to meet the demands of their workstations, and after searching fruitlessly for years, they ended up partnering with Livid to create one. The results will impress you. The Ds1 feels like you're controlling your DAW with a classic audio mixer.
