GEARSPACE CELEBRATES 20 YEARS AS
“THE WORLD’S BIGGEST PRO AUDIO FORUM”

LONDON, JUNE 21, 2022―Gearspace.com commemorates its 20th year as the go-to
place for audio engineers, music producers, audio schools and organizations.  What started
as a hobby in 2002 by founder Jules Standen has grown to more than 400,000 members,
with over one million discussions and 13 million replies.  The forum was born out of the
analog-to-digital crossover in the early 2000s that inspired so many enthusiasts to build their
own studios.
Gearspace covers pro audio gear―from inexpensive microphones to half-million-dollar
mixing consoles. As a predominantly user-generated content platform, the forum has
become a trusted industry peer resource on the latest products and pre-purchase research.
Gearspace focuses on professional and hobbyist recording, providing a platform for audio
engineers and music producers to troubleshoot technical issues, share techniques and to
ask for (and receive) advice from their peers. Over the past 20 years, the forum has
expanded to include reviews, classifieds, interviews, new product alerts, pro audio events
and, most recently, feature articles.
Jules’ two favorite aspects of the site are the recording studio construction sub-forum and the
producer interviews. “Not only are the photo diaries of people building studios inspirational,”
says Jules, “but also our Q&A interviews where members can ask hit-makers how they
record, and mix are both fun and useful. Our next Q&A guest will be Manny Marroquin, who
has worked with Rihanna, Bruno Mars, Kanye West, The Rolling Stones, Imagine Dragons,
Christina Aguilera and Jay-Z, among many other best-selling artists.”
Gearspace rebranded last year to welcome a more diverse user base across the industries it
serves. “It feels great to be moving forward with a progressive and inclusive name,” says
Jules, "making it easier for professionals, novices, educators and hobbyists to unite in
sharing the latest information on pro audio gear and their experiences in using it.”
“The Gearspace team and I are delighted to be celebrating this anniversary,” says Jules,
“and we look forward to continuing to provide the best possible pro audio forum community in
the years to come.”
