Choosing your Digital audio work station (DAW)

In my previous article “M-Audio Fast Track Ultra” I said I would talk to you about DAW’s or a Digital Audio Work Station. These are programs or software that you have to purchase to use on your computer. A Digital audio work station is a necessity for any home studio as it’s the program that records your music from your audio interface or mixer. Many won’t want to spend the money to get a recording program, so they will settle for Audacity which is a free windows program that records, this will work but it doesn’t offer anything else on it it is strictly an audio recorder.

I recommend everyone to purchase the program that works best for you, if you’re on a Mac, use Logic Pro as it seems to be the most versatile and easy to use. If on a PC use Cubase or Sonar 8 Producer. Sonar 8 is cheaper but Cubase offer’s a more professional user interface to work with. There are many recording programs out there, from different price ranges. None will make your music sound any better, that’s the audio interface’s job. They record, mix and also have compressors, EQ and sometimes effects to add. If at a retail store, ask someone to help you out! I hope this helps people decide what to use to record with and which program’s to look out for.

Sony Bloggie Touch – captures in full HD, gets sociable

Sony first revealed the Bloggie camcorder at the CES earlier this year, less than a year later though Sony have now revealed the new Bloggie Touch. Boasting a three-inch capacitive touchscreen, the new Bloggie Touch MHS-TS20K packs either 4GB or 8GB of internal memory, and will capture full HD 1080p video as well as 12.8-megapixel still images courtesy of the F2.8 wide angle lens and Exmor CMOS sensor.

Along its slick, stylish thin body, you’ll find a built-in USB connector and an HDMI output port. Other features on the so-called snap camera include options to easily share your photos and videos on various social networking sites and 360 degrees panoramic video and photo capture.

Here’s the official word for those of you who are interested…

It’s brilliantly easy to grab great-looking Full HD video clips and still photos with new Bloggie™ Touch by Sony. A radical evolution from first-generation Bloggie™ models, the all-new HD snap camera boasts gorgeous new looks with its slim, rounded body and finely brushed aluminium finish. It’s also the perfect ‘all-in-one’ solution for shooting and sharing life’s special moments, wherever you are.

Available in a choice of vibrant pink, silver and black finishes, the Bloggie Touch is a stylish partner for day-trips, weekend breaks or fun-filled nights out.

The camera’s cool, clean lines are dominated by a big, bright 7.6cm (3”) LCD touchscreen that gives a brilliant view of your photos and video clips. A sleek new user interface simplifies intuitive ‘touch and flick’ enjoyment of your clips and pictures.

Operation is equally straightforward. Just point and shoot to catch the moment: you can even grab still images while video recording continues uninterrupted.

The sensitive Exmor™ CMOS Sensor captures sparkling Full HD videos and crisply-detailed still photos. Picture quality is enhanced further by the bright, high quality lens with F2.8 maximum aperture for clear, low noise images – even when you’re shooting indoors or on overcast days.

Bloggie™ Touch features a versatile autofocus lens with wide angle function. There’s also a new auto macro mode to focus sharply on objects as close as 10cm away. It’s ideal for snapping the menu of that unforgettable restaurant meal or a beautiful flower discovered on holiday.

Bloggie™ Touch also records amazing 360-degree panoramic videos and photos to capture everything that’s happening around you – just clip on the supplied lens adaptor. 360 Videos are now twice the resolution of previous-generation Bloggie™, and low-light video quality is also improved thanks to the Exmor™ CMOS sensor. In addition to fun 360 Video, Bloggie Touch features “free-style shooting” which allows you to capture movie both in landscape and portrait.

Despite its slim, compact size, Bloggie Touch allows nearly 4 hours HD movie shooting time (1280 x 720/30p mode) on its 8GB internal memory. (Continuous maximum shooting time: approx. 29 mins).

After shooting, it’s never been easier to share your favourite photos and clips on the web. Bloggie™ Touch connects instantly to any PC via its flip-out USB arm that also charges the camera’s battery. There are no fiddly cables or software CDs to worry about: hook up Bloggie™ Touch and built-in sharing software launches automatically.

Just drag and drop to upload your favourite moments without fuss to social networks and popular sites like YouTube, Facebook and Flickr. While you’re on the move, it’s easy to tag content with a new ‘Share-it-Later’ function for simple uploads when you’re next online.

Built-in Bloggie software also allows easy uploads to Personal Space, the brand-new online service by Sony for sharing content safely and securely. Once you’ve uploaded your pictures and clips from Bloggie™, just email invited members of your own Sharing Group with a link to your Personal Space. It’s easier and quicker than sending big file attachments via email. Viewing options are widened further by an HDMI port that connects Bloggie™ Touch to any HD television.

The new Bloggie™ Touch MHS-TS20K mobile HD snap camera by Sony is available from the beginning of November 2010.

Thanks to Vivienne for the tip!

Apple’s fourth gen iPod Shuffle will have physical keys and VoiceOver control

Apple is in the spotlight this morning with its new generation of iPods. After the amazing iPod Touch 4G and iPod Nano 6G here comes the latest version of the Apple’s smallest iPod, the iPod Shuffle. Like all other iPods this one has changed as well and it has several new features to offer to its users so let’s check it out.

As already mentioned, iPod Shuffle is the smallest from all Apple’s iPods, but despite its size, this device can offer some amazing performances. We’ve already seen three generations of iPod Shuffle and now we finally got the forth version.

As you remember, the previous version of iPod Shuffle didn’t have any buttons for navigation and instead of buttons it was using the VoiceOver feature. Now Apple has decided to bring back the buttons to the latest version of iPod Shuffle and that way we’ve got playback and volume control back on the miniature iPod. However, VoiceOver feature is still available as well to all users that prefer it. Interesting thing about iPod Shuffle 4G is that it looks like a smaller version of iPod Shuffle 2G, and just like its predecessors, it’ll have a clip.

iPod Shuffle 4G might be the smallest iPod on the market, but it will provide you with the same great music experience. It comes with 2 GB of internal memory and the built in battery will provide 15 hours of playback time. iPod Shuffle 4G will be available in five different colors and it come with a pricetag of $49 or £39 if you’re here in the UK.
