For musicians who want a user-friendly way to create music using their computers, M-Audio has introduced Session, new software with an emphasis on simplicity that empowers virtually anyone owning a PC to create loop-based music in a variety of styles and genres. Users can use Session to alter loop tempos and pitch characteristics, as well as to record traditional musical instruments directly onto their hard drive. Session greatly reduces the learning curve, so users can dive right in and begin making music almost instantly. It boasts a 2GB library of loops and instrument sounds in almost every style imaginable, and by adding a MIDI keyboard, such as M-Audio’s Keystation 49e, users can play and record a wide array of virtual instruments using only the Session software.
