There are just so many uses for a good and accurate real-time analyzer but many are incredibly expensive. Well, thanks to Samson, now everybody with any budget can afford one. Allow me to show you the Samson D1500 Digital Real Time Analyzer.

In case you haven’t heard, Numark has yet again rattled the DJ world with the release of the Numark MixDeck Multi Format USB DJ CD System. This ultra versatile and easy to use dual deck digital DJ system offers the best features at an even better price.
About as complete as you can get, this multi format system contains dual CD decks that play WAV and MP3 CDs, built
in mixer and it doubles as a DJ software/MIDI interface. The added USB 2.0 connections enable you to play audio directly from your (or an audience member’s) flash drive for a compact alternative to lugging around those hefty CD binders.
Additionally Numark’s MixDeck offers touch-sensitive scratch platters, beat-sync FX, record mix to iPod feature and control MIDI software. Lets not forget the built in iPod dock that allows you to add your entire digital library without having change out CDs!

Well, we made it yet another year without any serious incidents other than a near total bust on New Years Eve. I was running sound and lights for a band and expected a good turnout but unfortunately for the band, only about 40 people paid to see them play. Regardless of how many people were there though, the band still sounded great, the lights looked good and my mix was the best that I have done to date. On a completely unrelated not, We at American Musical Supply are having an End of the Year Blowout sale. Check out the discounted merchandise but hurry, the deals won’t last forever. That’s all I have for now people, thanks for stopping by and reading Gearblog…cheers to another year!

Ok, well, the holiday literally kicked my butt. I had 2 live sound gigs within 2 days of each other. That means I set up the system, ran sound, tore it down, then set up another system, ran sound then actually came back later in the week to tear down the 2nd system so I guess you could say I had a busy holiday. I wouldn’t have had it any other way though because I was working doing what I love and making money to boot. Aah, the joys of working in the best industry ever. Now, enough of my jabber-jawing…I wanted to update you on some current happenings here at American Musical Supply. We have a Year End Warrior sale going on right now and if you aren’t signed up to receive our emails, you had better get your butt over to the home page and get signed up or you could miss out on some killer deals. Do it!

As many folks just getting their feet wet in the world of recording, whether it is digital, tape or any medium in between, you probably know a lot about noise. It can present itself in many different ways, hum, hiss buzzing or a strange combination of all three. If you are all too familiar with this problem, allow me to introduce you to a friend of 
mine, IZotope Music and Speech Cleaner Software. Music and Speech Cleaner’s intuitive step-by-step interface guides you through the cleanup process without slowing you down. Based on the same advanced noise reduction technology the experts use, the program provides professional-quality results at a non-expert price. Music and Speech Cleaner works with a range of compatible file types, meaning it works with your favorite software, like Apple iMovie or Adobe Premiere Elements. Cleaned files can also be imported into iTunes to create MP3 or AAC files and then burned to an audio CD. This software is truly a time saver that will pay for itself in no time at all. Thanks for reading.
