Taking miniaturization to another level is the newly received Zoom PS02 multitrack recorder. Weighing in at a mere one pound with a footprint of only 3 1/2 by 3 1/4 inches, the tiny unit can record three separate audio tracks and provide drum and bass accompaniment. It operates on four AAA batteries and can record 17 minutes of stereo audio on a 64 MB Smart Media card. Way too cool.
Digidesign is on the verge of shipping one of their most significant software upgrades ever. Pro Tools 5.1 (an apt version number considering the nature of many of the changes in it) will be shipping in about a month. Our Sweetwater Digidesign Road Show is now appearing with demos of this great new version, which includes comprehensive surround sound implementation, the addition of host based plug-in capability (on top of TDM), a ton of new MIDI features, and tons more. We will be doing hands-on demonstrations in two locations next week.
The dates and locations are:
11/14 in South Bend, IN at the Century Center on South St. Joseph Street in Suite 4.
11/15 at Sweetwater (click here for directions) in what we affectionately call our Blue Diamond Lounge (you’ll know why we call it that when you get here). Both shows have show times of 4:00 PM & 7:00 PM. You can find more details at our Events & Seminars page.
