In turning the page on 2020, over the course of last week we presented the Top 20 new content pieces published on ProSoundWeb over this past year, as selected by our editorial team.
Note that we’ve expanded from articles into additional forms of content, including podcasts and videos, reflecting the increasing importance of those media types. Also note that numerous classic articles, many posted years ago, remain perpetually popular, usually as valued reference sources. As a result, they continue to draw strong interest year after year.
Without further adieu, here’s the Top 20 on PSW for 2020, sponsored by Renkus-Heinz. Thanks for checking in, and Happy New Year!
