Razer Music is back in the news after it’s little run in with pirated software. This time, the news is on a more positive beat.
After making over 17 million connected devices in the video and hardware industry, Razer is taking their gaming laptops to new heights by optimizing them for music producers and artists.
Razer announced earlier this year that every new 2015 Blade laptop will come with a free key to download a copy of Image-Line’s FL Studio Producer Edition software, which is used by professional music producers and artists across multiple genres. They have also created a website that provides weekly insights and tutorials on music production.
“We all love music, and we get it in the same way that we enjoy our games and connect with friends – online,” Min-Liang Tan, co-founder and CEO of Razer says. “We are also obsessed with technology. EDM intersects where our gaming, social, music, and technology interests meet. CNN reported in 2014 that EDM was a $6.2 billion industry.”
“Gaming is a $20 billion business just in the United States,” Tan continues. “That suggests a lot of interest in what we care about, so the proposition to connect gamers and music lovers through the prism of Razer Music—with access to educational and technical resources—is a fun and healthy extension of what we’re about.”
With a community of almost 4 million gamers, music and the EDM world is certainly a platform that Razer can tackle.
