Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world's most hated audio tools. Today we are going to talk about the Korg Volca Drum. Is the third drum sound specialist of the Volca series (after the Beats and Kick) a worthy successor to the legendary Korg Electribe ER-1 drum machine?

Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world's most hated audio tools. Today we are going to talk about the Polyend Tracker Mini. Does this successor to the original Tracker and compact sampler, sequencer, groovebox and dawless centerpiece with its gameboy controls and compact form factor even make sense or is it another hipster toy with its field recording features?
