New in stock at Sweetwater Sound: MOTU has supplied us with a bunch of their new Fastlane USB MIDI interfaces. This pretty well rounds out their USB interfacing abilities for right now. The really cool thing about the Fastlane is they come in all the iMac and iBook flavors. Retail price $69.
Guitar.com is a Web site that would easily win our WSOTM (Web Site of the Month) award except it’s actually too relevant to qualify. Nevertheless you should check it out. It’s the best online guitar community we’ve found. With feature stories on top guitarists, advice columns, lessons, discussion, free member pages, MP3s, and much more. Don’t miss “Packing for the Gig” – It’s a good look at the essentials.
