M-Audio Audio Buddy Mic/Instrument Pre

M-Audio
Dual Mic Preamp with Phantom Power

CLICK HERE TO BUY

Affordability and Performance One of the first issues you confront when considering computer recording is the question of how to record microphone and instrument levels into your audio card. Many signals levels in your studio are too low to record, and need the help of a preamp to raise them to a level suitable for recording. The Audio Buddy is an ultra-quiet 2-channel preamp that offers the features and performance you need to track great sounding music. Improve the quality of the audio you record Inexpensive mic preamps are often included within products like mixers and soundcards. While convenient, they tend to be noisy and color your sound in an unpleasant way. What many people don't consider is the fact that the mic preamp is one of the most important links in your signal chain. If you cut corners there, your music will reflect it right away. Basic connectivity tools for home recording We created the Audio Buddy especially for computer recording. Whether you're recording vocals, guitar, or bass, the Audio Buddy will give you connectivity you need. The preamp provides phantom power for microphones that require additional power to operate. Direct Box functionality allows high impedance signals from sources such as guitars or basses recorded with optimal results. Features: - Two preamp channels with individually adjustable gain - Each channel offers one balanced XLR (Low Impedance) or one 1/4" instrument level (High impedance) input - Phantom power both microphone XLR inputs - Independent 1/4" outputs - unbalanced or balanced TRS - Super small - only 5.5" x 3.3" x 1.7" - Super quiet - the best dollar-to-noise ratio Specifications: - Frequency Response: 5hz to 50khz, +0, -3dB - Mic Gain: 60dB Max. - Mic Input Impedance: 1K Ohm - Instrument Gain: 40dB Max. - Instrument Input Impedance: 100K Ohms - Weight: Under 1/2 lb. - Power Supply: 9V AC, 300mA

M-Audio CO2 Optical/Coaxial Convertor

M-Audio
Converts optical S/PDIF to coax S/PDIF, and vice-versa.

CLICK HERE TO BUY

Today's digital studios have one inevitable problem: most gear does not have matching digital inputs and outputs. Dubbing from DAT with coaxial S/PDIF out to a CD Writer with optical S/PDIF isn't possible without a converter. CO2 is a compact but rugged S/PDIF tool that will convert S/PDIF signals from optical to coax, and from coax to optical. Its clever 2-in 2-out design passes the original input signal through to one output jack, and the converted signal to the other output jack. This enables the CO2 to be used as a converter and/or repeater! And with its revolutionary low price, you can afford to use several in your studio! Features: • Ultra-compact size: 3.5" x 2.25" x 1.2". • Converts optical S/PDIF to coax S/PDIF, and vice-versa. • May also be used as a repeater for long cable runs. • Two digital inputs: 1 Toslink (optical fiber), 1 RCA jack (coax). • Three-way switch selects operating mode. • Two digital outputs, both always active: 1 Toslink, 1 RCA jack. • Transformer-isolated RCA jacks prevent system ground loops.

TASCAM's CD-GT1 is the ultimate training and jamming tool for guitarists, vocalists and other musicians. Whether you're just starting out on your instrument or are a seasoned pro, the CD-GT1 offers the perfect way to learn your favorite artist's techniques. Easy to Learn and Use If you can operate a CD player, you can use the CD-GT1. Take any standard compact disc by your favorite band and put it in the CD mechanism. Then plug your guitar directly into the CD-GT1's 1/4" input. Put on some headphones, set the volume, and start rocking! If you're a vocalist, you can do the same, substituting your microphone for the guitar. Slow Down and Learn with Slow Speed Audition feature. In ancient times (like the 1970s), musicians would take a vinyl LP record and manually spin the record on a turntable, slowing it down to be able to better hear and understand the performances, like guitar solos and complex chord changes. With the CD-GT1, you get a training method that's even better. Not only can you slow down the speed of the CD by up to 50%, but you can do it without changing the pitch of the original material! After you learn the lick at a slow speed, you can increase the tempo in steps until you can match the original performance note for note! Also, you can change the pitch of the CD without changing the speed...use this feature to "tune the CD" to your guitar. Effect Yourself The CD-GT1 has 43 great-sounding built-in customizable modeling effects...you don't need to turn to external boxes for distortion, delay, chorus and more. Plus, there's a nice selection of vocal reverbs and processed sounds so you can sing along with rockers, hip-hoppers, divas and everything in between! Performance Tools You can set seamless in-out loop points with the CD-GT1...it will play the same section of music over and over again so you can focus on your playing. Use the footswitch input to start and stop the CD, or to scroll through effects. The CD-GT1 even provides a chromatic tuner so you always sound great when you play, and can run on batteries to take your show on the road. You can listen to the CD-GT1 via headphones, or use its Line Output to plug in speakers. There's never been a better or more affordable guitar/voice training tool than the CD-GT1.

Digidesign
Small-format Control Surface for Pro Tools LE and TDM Systems

CLICK HERE TO BUY

The new Command|8 control surface puts integrated, tactile control of Pro Tools TDM or LE systems running on Windows XP or Mac OS X at your fingertips more affordably than ever before. Through a simple USB connection, Command|8's eight bankable channels of touch-sensitive motorized faders, rotary encoders, and LCD displays enable you to control your Pro Tools system with a fully featured, intelligent control surface. As with other Digidesign control surfaces, Command|8 gives you channel strip mixing functionality along with the ability to view and edit plug-in parameters and to automate sends, pans, track volume, and mutes. Transport controls (Play, Record, etc.) are also included, complete with a footswitch jack for QuickPunch and TrackPunch in, further increasing your independence from mouse-and-keyboard-only interaction with your sessions. Command|8 also features a 1-IN/2-OUT (16 channels in/32 channels out) MIDI interface for integrating your MIDI-compatible gear into Pro Tools. Its Standalone MIDI controller mode enables you to use Command|8 with your favorite third-party MIDI applications and devices — any device or application that accepts MIDI control change messages for level, panning, solo, mute, MIDI Machine Control, and other mappable parameters. For keeping an ear or two on your mixes, Command|8 includes an onboard monitor system featuring acclaimed Focusrite audio performance and quality. It supports a Main Pro Tools Input, External source (a turntable mixer or CD player, for example) and separate speaker and headphone outputs. Along with Pro Tools TDM and LE systems, Command|8 also supports Avid products natively, including Avid Media Composer. When used with Avid products, Command|8’s controls are mapped to the Automation Gain Tool for recording dynamic volume automation as well as Solo, Mute, and Snap Mode on and off. Since it connects via USB, no additional MIDI interface is required. Better yet, when utilized in such a way, Command|8's onboard monitor system alleviates the need for an external mixer for speaker control. Due to its compact size, affordability, and compatibility with both Pro Tools TDM and LE systems, Command|8 is equally well-suited for project studios and small editing suites in commercial post or music studios. Command|8 features include: 8 touch-sensitive, motorized faders, and 8 automatable rotary encoders with LED rings; channels bankable in groups of eight Big, bright, 110-character (55 characters x 2 rows) backlit LCD display for easily viewing track and parameter information Integrated 1-IN/2-OUT MIDI interface (16 channels in, 32 out) Standalone MIDI controller mode — Easy to map controls to software or devices Flexible Focusrite onboard monitoring section Works natively with the Avid family of products' Automation Gain Tool Simple USB connection to your PC or Mac Supports both Pro Tools TDM and LE systems (independently) Compact size — Perfect for space-challenged professional and project studios May be used as additional faders in conjunction with ProControl, Control|24, or Digi 002 While there are several Pro Tools-compatible compact control surface options from third-party manufacturers, only Command|8 is made by Digidesign and Focusrite specifically for Pro Tools. As a result, Command|8 provides a great deal more sophisticated control with Pro Tools software, and has been tested and qualified specifically for Pro Tools.
