Web 2.0 – Whether we like it or not, it’s here to stay. Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, Flickr, YouTube… What did we even do with our spare time before these things existed?!

Another popular business on the internet in the past decade is business review websites. Google has always had reviews on their Maps program, but there are many sites now that are dedicated to reviews.  One in particular is Yelp.  Their tagline is “Real People, Real Reviews” and many (real) people write (real) reviews on the stores they visit to share their experiences, good or bad.  They even have an iPhone app!

We’ve had a bunch of reviews written for our stores, but you won’t see them if you go to our Yelp pages.

Peter shows us a quick demo of the new Korg microSAMPLER. You can record your voice into the built-in mic and the keyboard will chop up and map your voice to different keys for creating beats — just one of its many cool features.  Check this thing out!

So I just got an iPhone. Hopefully now that I have one I can be able to post more cool stuff up on here. Like the fact I went to go watch the Broadway Musical “STOMP” yesterday. It’s pretty awesome! Also there happens to be 3 guys in the cast that are from Hawaii. Always good to see the talent has come from here. If you didn’t see it yet you should.

Shoots!

If  symbology is the study of symbols then is cymbology the study of cymbals?

We have a demo of the Adam A-7 setup at the King St. store right now. If you have ever wondered how Adam monitors sound, now is your chance to hear it in person. We have it setup to a/b against the focal cms65. We will probably start carrying Adam if people are interested. Come check it out and tell us what you think!

Neumann just released their new TLM102 Studio Recording Microphone. This microphone is to be seen as the “little brother” to the TLM103. It has an overall reduced size, but retains great Neumann components and is designed to be used in various applications. Having a maximum sound pressure of level of 144db, it can easily be used to mic up a guitar cab, drums or any loud percussion you might have. But don’t let that deter you from using it for vocals, which has great presence from the mic’s slight boost at 6kHz. Being that this is the little brother to the TLM103, the price is little as well, starting at just less than $900 MSRP. We just got them in stock, so come check them out at both locations.
