Miami — The Remix Hotel event here this week during Winter Music
Conference provides "hands-on access to the technology and equipment
used to create today's electronic and urban music via artist
presentations and demonstrations, workshops, clinics and discussion."
Held at the Eden Roc Hotel in South beach and sponsored by Apple and
Guitar Center the event featured a ton of Mac hardware and software on
display (Garage Band, Logic, G5s and those sweet 30-inch Apple Studio
displays). What really impressed me was the vendor area on the lower
level that featured several rooms of equipment from the likes of
Mackie, Alesis, M-Audio, Ableton, Pioneer, Rane and Stanton. Your
fearless sunburnt editor fell in love with the new Mackie Firewire
mixer although I'm still partial to my Rane TTM56 and its patented
magnetic fader. Off to the Ultra Music Festival and Carry On… More on
those soon!
Ed: Watch for a full image gallery later this evening. It'll cheer me up here on a dreary day in New York! -PK
