PreSonus Goes Bigger!

Posted By Jericho on January 21, 2010

Since the release of the StudioLive 16.4.2, PreSonus has been on the top of the charts for the 16 channel mixer category. It was a new fresh look to the digital mixer and no one could have predicted the amount of people who opted into getting one. As if things couldn’t get better for PreSonus, at Winter NAMM 2010 they just released a bigger and better version of the StudioLive. Get ready for the StudioLive 24.4.2!

Easy Music King Street

Chris will be discussing the basics of Digital Audio Workstations and home recording. If you’ve ever worked with ProTools, Cubase, Logic, M-Audio, PreSonus, Digidesign or any other home recording systems, you should come down with any questions you may have.

Chris’ last clinic on MIDI was very enlightening and this one should be as well!

Workin’ on video… and audio…

Posted By Chris on September 5, 2009

So last Saturday, we had 3 events on the same day! It was kinda crazy in here, but there was a lot of great information, entertainment and money-saving going on that day.

Capture001I just finished going through one of the events, Hawaii Music Works performance.  They had 4 bands (!!!) perform that day, 11 songs total.  We recorded everything through our PreSonus StudioLive 16 channel mixer; it records 16 tracks separately to our computer. I also had 2 cameras shooting video from the event.  I got all the tracks from our computer last night and uploaded the video to my computer over the past week (500 gigs of video, 2 hours worth!).

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.
