Paul White was originally a drummer in Yorkshire before turning to guitar. Having qualified in electronics Paul was an early adopter of home recording technology. He turned this hobby into a career and became a bestselling author of over 20 music technology textbooks. These include The Producers Manual and The Creative Recording Series. Paul was awarded a BASCA in 2010 alongside John Paul Jones and Lesley Garret. Paul was a long-time editor in chief of Sound On Sound but now holds the position of Executive Editor.

Having failed as a Coventry Bass Player in his teens, Mark Soden turned to technology and started collecting monophonic synths and beatboxes. Inspired by the likes of Kraftwerk and DAF Mark became Keyboard Player, Drum Machine Programmer and Vocalist for Coventry electronic outfits ADx3 and The Love Boutique in the 1980's. After 25 years in Media and Tourism he has returned to twiddle those synthesiser knobs once again this time at his home studio in Malvern where he also works as a Graphic Designer and Website Builder.
