About The Loop
The Loop has a variety of meanings. For some people reading the site it could be a reference to the street that Apple is located on in Cupertino. To others it could be the fact they are being kept “in the loop” by reading the stories. For all its meanings, the Loop isn’t like other Mac and technology Web sites.
What you should expect
Of course, you will get all of the latest tidbits of news about Apple and the tech market in general, but you will also get more in-depth coverage on the topics that matter to you. The aim of The Loop is to dig into the headlines to provide readers with some thoughtful, well-balanced coverage.
You will also get news about all of the latest product updates, but I’ll be doing this a little different than what you may be used to.
I’ll also be writing about the biggest product releases from all of the major companies in the industry. If there are questions about a new product, I will endeavor to get those answers for you.
For those that have read my stories on Macworld or PC World, you know that I am a guitar player. I have written about how to record and play music using the Mac for years now and I will continue that here.
You can expect to find how-to articles on everything from setting up amp modeling software to mic placement when recording acoustics. Software, hardware and everything in between.
I hope you enjoy your stay at The Loop.
