How Arturia made its music-making software more accessible
When visually impaired music producer Jason Dasent decided to buy a collection of instrument plugins from Arturia about four years ago, he did so despite his suspicion that the company's tools wouldn't be accessible. "At that point I couldn't browse and use the software," he said. "I pretty much couldn't do anything." He had spent some $500 on Arturia's V Collection 5, a set of virtual instruments that included recreations of some vintage synths he wanted to use. It was cheaper than spending hundreds of thousands on actual synths, he told himself.
The best deals we found this week: $100 off the Mac mini M1 and more
Even as Presidents' Day sales came to a close this week, plenty of other tech deals cropped up across the web. Those who have been holding out for a deal on an OLED TV can get an LG CX model at a deeply discounted price, and Apple's Mac mini M1 hit a new all-time low of $600. Here are the best tech deals from this week that you can still get today. Apple's new Mac mini with the M1 chip is down to $600, which is $100 off its normal price and a new all-time low for the desktop. It's dropped to $650 a few times since its release late last year, but this is the best deal we've seen yet.
