Digidesign unveils "Eleven Rack"

This hardware piece is nothing short of awesome. From Digidesign comes Eleven Rack. It’s a standalone hardware unit that acts as a ProTools LE interface, all-in-one reamping solution, and guitar amp modeling.

With it’s multitude of outputs, you can drive combo amps, poweramps, or run direct-in into a P.A. in a live setting. Take what you used in the studio, and run it live. You can also run multiple outs for different laying techniques as well.

It has internal DSP which handles all of the modeling processing, freeing up valuable CPU cycles when you’re in a ProTools session.

This is a killer unit and you’ll be seeing more of these popping up in studios everywhere….

Apple’s "Snow Leopard" OS – Avail. Aug 28th

Woo hoo! Apple peeps everywhere should be stoked that the Snow Leopard upgrade for their systems running Mac OS X Leopard. It will set you back a whopping $29 (if you bought your Mac on or after June 8th, you only pay $9.95). You can pre-order now by going here. What does this mean for Joe User? Well, (to keep it simple), the OS has been streamlined, enhancements to current processes were made, and it utilizes the horsepower of the CPU cores in your machine better. You should see enhancements in speed and snappiness, there Dexter.

Digidesign Pro Tools Users: As with all Mac OS updates: Don’t upgrade yet. Digidesign (Avid Technologies) has the uncanny ability of not supporting new Mac operating systems for a while. Patience is a virtue. Now, while Digidesign hasn’t formally said anything about supporting the new Mac OS flavor, I can’t imagine an announcement from them is too far off…

Stay tuned, cadets.
