“This bit of kit really revolutionised how I work. I have been using laptops as my computer of choice for many years, but always found that running loads of plug-ins would seriously affect the performance of my computer.

In basic terms, it is like a standalone computer that provides the power and grunt to run some pretty amazing plug-ins, the type of stuff that you would find in professional studios all over the world.
