Every month here at Pro Sound News, we summarize our previous month’s Twitter posts so you can see what else we’ve been posting there besides our daily news stories. In June, there was everything from InfoComm 2010 coverage to photos of Eminem and Jay-Z rehearsing on a rooftop across the street from our office. In between, we linked to vuvuzela filters, mentioned bargains for software and audio organization memberships, and more. If you want to keep up with all this goodness in real-time, follow @prosoundnews on Twitter–you’ll get our daily pro audio headlines and much more. In the meantime, here’s everything we posted in June, minus the headlines:
