New in stock at Sweetwater Sound: Putting an end to what has to be one of the longest delays for a product release since the original ADAT we have finally received our first batch of the Waves L2 hardware maximizer. For all of you who’ve basically forgotten what this product is while waiting for it to come out, good thing, because it has changed quite a bit from when they originally began promoting it. Call your Sweetwater Sales Engineer for details. This may be the best mastering limiter available at any price.
Continuing on with the new in stock theme (we’ve got some catching up to do here), we have also received the VX Pocket from Digigram. VX Pocket is a very capable sound card designed for the PCM card slot in laptop computers. It sports 24-bit converters and is compliant with Microsoft’s Wave protocol, ASIO, and Mac Sound Manager. Retail price $729.
Also new in stock is Tascam’s CD-302 dual CD player. The $1350 retail machine is ideal for DJ work and sports an impressive 32% pitch and tempo adjustment that work independently of one another. Very cool.
