RIP Bo Astrup

Post by cuttime »

I'm just now finding out about this, but Bo was a member here and a great proponent of DP. He also made some damn fine instructional videos.

Oh, no! This is tragic. He was a valuable resource for the music community in general, and DP users in specific. I bought a lot of gear based on his thoughtful recommendations over the years. This news is very sudden and sad. ….i think he was even scheduled to be on DP webinar in the coming weeks. :(

Bo was a nice buy for sure. he asked me off the cuff to help moderate a facebook DP videos group, and hooked me up with Baby Audio's range of plugins which are a lot more useful than I would have thought! He was playing music up until the end from what his facebook page showed. 8)
M2 Studio Ultra, RME Babyface FS, Slate Raven Mti2, NI SL88 MKII, Linnstrument, MPC Live II, Launchpad MK3. Hundreds of plug ins.
