Sagan announces a new pre-release version (6.3.1) for Metro, Metro SE and Metro SX. These new versions add several improvements (drag and drop, MIDI controlers,...) and fix many bugs. Metro is a fast-operating, easy-to-learn high-powered sequencer for the design of professional audio projects. It stands alone as a complete and integrated MIDI, audio and video production system.

More info and list of bugs fixed on Sagan web site.

TCelectronic announces a patch, available for Spark XL users only. This patch fixes a bug with Spark and Mac OS X 10.4 : when users quit Spark XL 2.8.2 under MacOS X 10.4.x (Tiger), Spark hangs until Force Quit is used.

This update of Spark (discontinued) is freely available from TC electronic web site.

The news was around for 2 weeks but it's official now, after the Intel/Apple deal, another earthshaking event: Peter Gabriel has bought Solid State Logic in a joint venture with David Engelke (a broadcast industry entrepreneur). As other pro audio companies are either going down or bought up by founds who don't know a pot from a driver licence, it's great to see music professionals and a musician in particular preserve one of the best desk manufacturer out there.

The business will stay in Oxford and will continue issuing some "little" mixing stuff ;) Also, David told about going to a broader market... Will it mean something for the rest of us? I hope so!
