Lee Sherman is live at the WWDC keynote. Phil Schiller has good news regarding the new Mac Pro tower, singling out pro audio applications to demonstrate the new machine’s speed: Intel Xeon Woodcrest-based: Core 2 dual core CPUs up to 3GHz (that’s Core 2, not Core Duo, meaning the latest version of Intel’s Core architecture […]

RaySpace 2.4 is an updated plug-in for simulating reverb in acoustic chambers. It’s got a fully 3D interface you can rotate around as you make adjustments, and, its creators assure us, it’s not a convolution reverb. Instead, it’s powered by bubbles. Say what? DBT (Diffuse Bubble Tracing) is a highly efficient algorithm that analyses the […]

Our readers are smarter than your readers. And, erm, this writer, sometimes. Keyboard Magazine, 1985: Recalling music tech from back in the day. I remember that issue. Was surprised to notice that it’s now 21 years old. Crap. *I’m* old. Those were coolest issues with the SoundPages, the little flexible tear-out 45’s. Heh, I think […]

Create Digital Music’s sister site has more on live visuals and interactive digital art. Cheating a bit here — it’s actually been two weeks — but it’s the dog days of summer here in the Northern Hemisphere and everyone’s moving a bit slow. Pictured: Dreams in High Fidelity. We looked at 3dconnexion, the creators of […]

Okay, so we have good weeks and bad weeks. This week … wasn’t so hot. First, there’s the new Intel-native version of Cycling ’74’s lovely Mac utility, Soundflower. As many reported, something seems not-quite-right about the installer. On my PowerPC-based machine, the driver for Soundflower itself doesn’t appear anywhere (Audio MIDI Setup, etc.) and Soundflowerbed, […]

I love mice. They’re still a great way to do many things, and while some may think they’re anachronistic, they still do the job for a lot of interface tasks quite nicely. But they’re also painfully awkward for many tasks in 2D and 3D graphics. The folks at 3Dconnexion have been rethinking input devices in […]
