Here is the January 10th, 2008 issue of DP Corner from audioMIDI.com. A column
for tips, tricks, and other fun stuff related to Digital Performer. Written
by Tim Rumbaugh.

DP or Logic Pro 8? Why Not Both? Picking a DAW is one of the most personal
decisions a computer-based musician can make. Read through the forum for
any DAW and you'll see that most musicians are absolutely set in their ways
as a user of "the one and only DAW" and all other musicians should be whipped
a thousand times with a wet noodle for even contemplating using another.
This week Tim will look at ways to incorporate the best features of Logic
Pro 8 with DP, giving you the best of both worlds.

Here it is, the first review of 2008: WOW, the multimode filter made by Sugar Bytes.
Words, pictures and sounds.
You'll find everything in our review to form your opinion on WOW.

SE Electronics have announced that they are producing a brand new range of Rupert Neve signature series mics under the sE stable for 2008.
(picture is Rupert Neve and Siwei Zou)

The first of several mics will be an active Ribbon mic with revolutionary performance, provided by discrete circuits and purpose designed transformers by Mr. Rupert Neve.
The capsule and manufacturing are being controlled by sE, whilst the electronics, and of course the transformer, are being taken care of by Mr. Neve.

Following mics will be a large diaphragm tube mic, and a solid state condenser. "The first three mics " say sE "are beautiful, the packaging will be second to none, and their performance will set new standards in the high end microphone market".

Will this new range of products be the next big hit ?
And isn't "high end" often synonymous with "high prices" ?
At least, this is a very exciting announce.

Prosoniq are happy to announce the immediate availability of their PROSONIQ morph AudioUnit Plug in version 1.0.4.
This new version fixes many bugs that were present in versions 1.0.2 (initial release) and 1.0.3, such as occasional hangs during AU validation in Logic, disfunctional automation in Logic's write, latch and touch modes and a couple of other glitches.
This version also contains a FAQ document and updates the documentation and the Prosoniq Plug-in Helper and MiniHost applications to the latest versions.

It is a recommended update for all morph AudioUnits users.

McDSP will introduce three new plug-ins at the Winter NAMM show held in Anaheim California, January 2008. Thesse plug-ins are the DE555 de-esser, the FutzBox signal distorter and noise generator, and the NF575 noise filter.

The DE555 is a new generation of de-essing technology, providing transparent, precise de-essing with unique flexibility. FutzBox is a distortion and noise generator plug-in for creating low-fidelity versions of audio signals. The NF575 noise filter is a high-resolution filter set designed to remove a wide variety of noise types from audio.

These new plug-ins will only be available to owners of the McDSP Emerald Pack HD and Emerald Pack Native bundles as an upgrade ($195 HD / $95 Native for owners of Emerald Pack version 2). The new Emerald Pack bundle (version 3.0) will retail for $2795 for the HD version, and $1495 for the Native version.
