Ovation VXT Acoustic-Electric guitar (literally)

Have you always wanted to switch between an acoustic guitar and an electric guitar right in the middle of a song without switching instruments? Well now you can, check out the ovation VXT acoustic electric guitar. It’s got two complete pickup systems. On the electric side it’s got two Seymour Duncan pickups for a fat Gibson style electric tone, and for the acoustic side a Fishman piezo power bridge and preamp to give you a truly fat acoustic tone. So with a stereo y-cable you can split the electric guitar signal to an electric amp and the acoustic to a P.A. system or acoustic amp. You can even have both at the same time which sounds really cool. Check out this recording I did with the Ovation. I have it running into two inputs on a Line 6 UX8 USB interface running Pod Farm . I split the signal to run two different amps. I have the electric distorted and panned to the left, and the acoustic panned to the right.

Snow Leopard? Careful with upgrading your OS!

Posted By Chris on August 27, 2009

Apple Snow Leopard

UPDATE – After a successful install, my major programs continued to work: Cubase 5, Sibelius 6, Final Cut Express 4. Presonus is offering a Beta driver for Firestudio and StudioLive. Sibelius issued an upgrade to 6.03 for Mac users only.  Cubase 5 works, but is very sluggish (VU Meters, etc.) The main things that didn’t work for me were Safari and Mail plugins (Glims, WideMail, GrowlMail, etc.).

The new OS from Apple is coming out tomorrow: Snow Leopard OS X 10.6.  I’m pretty excited and can’t wait to upgrade.  There’s a lot of under-the-hood changes made in this version – 64 bit processing for core applications, improved iChat video resolution with lower bandwidth usage, Finder and Exposé improvements, just to name a few.

But if you use any audio or video software or hardware, you may want to wait a bit before upgrading.  Apple has compiled a list of software that currently isn’t working with 10.6, and end-users are also compiling their own list.
