The Paris AES show was a great opportunity to discover the real faces that hides behind the MacMusicians nicknames and other pro audio geeks that were around. We now have the proof that these guys ARE aliens (as if we didn't know)... Real weirdoes at AES (don't tell anyone! ;-) |  Post a comment ? |

Dash Signature released an updated version 2.00.05 for its EVE (stands for 'Electronic Vintage Ensemble'). This release adds new synthesis features, several enhancements and is still compatible with Eve 1.0 presets. EVE was made to recreate in the virtual world of softsynths the exciting and immediate experience of the early age of electronics in pop, rock and jazz music from the 1960's and 1970's.
EVE 2 is the first version of EVE to be available for Mac OS X (VST, Audio Units), and costs $75.
