We are in the last day of 2012 and then we are supposed to follow the trend of the perfect blog in the digital universe: create a list of the best something of this year. Many ideas came in our mind during these days, like a list of the best sound apps (too obvious), the best sound design websites (we know them very well), the best SFX libraries (noooooo….) and so on.
At the end I took the decision: to collect all the contents we posted to our channels (this blog, the Twitter profile and the Facebook page), analyze them and then extract the most successful articles people read, commented, retweeted, liked and linked again. So here we go with our list of the best stories on Sound in 2012. I hope you will like it while saying bye bye to 2012:)
