Apple Announces Guitar Centric Logic Studio 9

Apple on Thursday released the second iteration of its Logic Studio suite of multimedia tools with the musician in mind. The new version includes Logic Pro 9, MainStage 2, Soundtrack Pro 3, Compressor 3.5, and WaveBurner 1.6. Additionally, Logic Studio includes all six of Apple's Jam Pack loop sets along with its bundled sound effects, surround sound music beds, EXS24 samples, and impulse response files.

Among its more than 200 new features, Logic Studio offers significant enhancements for guitar players and live performers. For guitarists, the suite includes Amp Designer and Pedalboard plug-ins, features similar to the guitar tracks and stompbox effects introduced with iLife '09's GarageBand. Amp Designer includes 25 amplifiers and 25 matched cabinets that can be captured with one of three virtual microphones. You can mix these amps and cabinets--for example, to play a Mesa Boogie-like amplifier through a Marshall cabinet. Each amp includes 5 EQ and 10 reverb presets.

Pedalboard adds 30 stompbox effects that users can array along a virtual pedalboard. Unlike with GarageBand's stompboxes, you can trigger them via a MIDI or USB controller.

Convergent Design Nano Flash Shipping!

The Convergent Design nanoFlash is hot! The world’s smallest, lowest-power HD/SD recorder/player is clearly a home-run. This palm-sized wonder records stunning video at bit-rates up to 220 Mbps (I-Frame-Only, 4:2:2 full-raster) or 100 Mbps XDCAM 422 onto affordable Compact Flash media . Near universal NLE support (FCP, Avid, Vegas and soon Premiere) opens up a wide potential customer base. We encourage our dealers to visit our website, http://www.avalive.com/Convergent-Design/199/0/productList.php for all of the details.

Don’t let the diminutive size fool you, as this baby is feature packed with HD/SD-SDI, HMDI and analog audio I/O. Unique features such as pre-record buffer and over/under crank further separate nanoFlash from similar products. But, it’s the super small size (camcorder mountable) and miserly power (under 6 Watts) that really sets nanoFlash apart and makes it a very useful tool for both studio and field recording applications.

Applications include upgrading tape-based cameras to file-based editing, POV camera recorders, client presentations, video assist, underwater video, SDI switcher recorders, and other high-quality video recording and playback venues, including output to film.
