Industry : The future of Digidesign - An open letter to customers - macmusicLast year Avid decided to combine all of their brands (including Digidesign, M-Audio, and Sibelius) into one unified Avid brand. During the past year Avid have been working hard to transition Digidesign to the Avid name. Below is an 'Open Letter' to all Digidesign customers to share information, answer questions, and explain how the changes will affect them.

"New website launching April 12th
Many of you told us that we needed to improve the navigation, organization, and the overall user experience of digidesign.com. In order to make these improvements, a major overhaul was necessary. On April 12th, we're going to launch a brand new avid.com website that will include all of the digidesign.com pages—plus a number of enhancements to make navigation faster and easier. At first, the website will be US-only, but over the next few months, we'll work on moving the international Digidesign websites as well. To help you get acclimated, we'll be posting an interim page at digidesign.com offering links straight to the pages that are most important to you.

Why move the website to Avid.com?

Plug-ins : MellowMuse CP2V - Vintage Style Compressor Plug-in - macmusicMellowMuse has announced the release of the CP2V Vintage Compressor plug-in.

The vintage styled CP2V is a track and program compressor that captures the smoothness and harmonic richness of analogue circuits, in an easy to use package. Turning the Compression control gradually increases the compression ratio while lowering the threshold. The Drive level is then used to adjust for the drop in output and to add saturation to the compressed signal.

With ease of use being a primary goal, the preset attack and release times mean there's no searching for the sweet spot. All compression and saturation algorithms are 4x oversampled using 64-bit internal processing for increased clarity and resolution.

Priced at $79, the CP2V is available for Windows and Mac OS X in VST, AU and RTAS effect plug-in formats.
