Misc : Free AudioCubes DnB sound pack for Ableton Live 7 - macmusicPercussa has announced the avaibility of a free DnB sound pack for its AudioCubes and Ableton Live 7.

This free sound pack release contains 30 impressive DnB style sounds in WAV format, from Loopmasters Artist Series of sound libraries, and a premapped Ableton Live 7 set for AudioCubes. In contrast to the standard demo which is included with software updates and which focuses on simplicity and getting started, this Live set goes much deeper, mapping multiple effects, providing easy shortcuts into song structure for the performer, and includes impressive colour sequences for the cubes.

You now have the chance to try the Live set yourself on your computer, even if you don't have the cubes yet.

The sound pack if compatible with Mac and Windows platforms, and we recommend to use it with AudioCubes 052008 software.

Audio Hardware : Audio-Technica AT4021 and AT4022 pencil condenser microphones - macmusicAudio-Technica introduces the AT4021 cardioid and AT4022 omnidirectional pencil condenser microphones. These mics, both featuring a sleek new capsule design/construction, are the latest additions to Audio-Technica's 40 Series of condenser microphones.

Both the AT4021 Cardioid Condenser Microphone and the AT4022 Omnidirectional Condenser Microphone feature high SPL handling and wide dynamic range, as well as flat, extended frequency response and exceptional reproduction of low-frequency sounds. The AT4021's cardioid polar pattern reduces pickup of sounds from the sides and rear, improving isolation of the desired sound source. The AT4022's omnidirectional polar pattern provides maximum ambient pickup. Both microphones offer a low-mass element for superb transient response.

An integral 80 Hz high-pass filter provides easy switching from a flat frequency response to a low-end roll-off. The roll-off position reduces the microphones' sensitivity to popping in close vocal use. It also reduces the pickup of low-frequency ambient noise, room reverberation and mechanically-coupled vibrations. Output from both microphones' XLRM connectors is low impedance (Lo-Z) balanced.

The AT4021 Cardioid Condenser Microphone and the AT4022 Omnidirectional Condenser Microphone will be available September 2008 with pricing as follows :

AT4021 $495.00 U.S. MSRP AT4022 $495.00 U.S. MSRP
