New in stock at Sweetwater Sound: Our good friend Mike Oster of F7 Sound and Vision has graced us with his new Concept FX2 audio sampling CD. Mike bought his first Pro Tools system from us nearly eight years ago and, among other things, has been producing excellent sampling sound effects CD’s. Customers were thrilled with Concept volume 1, and Mike has put even more effort (and sounds) into volume 2. Volume 1 retails for $49.95, volume 2 retails for $69.95, but you can get the two bundled together for $99.95 (there is no duplication of sounds between the two). Check out his Web site. There’s an amazing picture of him sampling a lightning strike.
New blowout deals on guitars. Over this past weekend the Sweetwater Service Department stepped up to the plate and poured an entire day into going through our entire inventory of guitars checking them, tuning them, and just making sure they are optimally set up. Why? We’re promoting some amazing deals on our Blowout pages for guitars. Many of you may not know that the guitars we sell go through our service department before we ship them to you. This is just one small way we take care of our customers by going the extra mile. Now, having done this service ahead of time, we’re ready to blow out some guitars at a moment’s notice. Give us a call and we’ll ship you one today. Seriously, many models are being sold BELOW COST!
Yamaha is really stepping up their support efforts with a Service and Support Web site. It contains general information about products, access to manuals, and search engines to help find information for sorting out any troubles you may have (via their Yamaha Solutions Network). Additionally they have an on-line mail form you can use to ask specific questions.
