Economy of Scales: Edirol R-1

Economy of Scales: Edirol R-1 03/23/2005 05:36 PM

iPod is great for playback, but it's not much use when it comes to recording. Try Edirol's R-1 instead: palm-sized, integrated stereo microphone, and recording to CompactFlash. With 1GB of CF running about $70 (the R-1 costs under $400), removable media is the way to go. And as opposed to cheap consumer audio gadgets, this box records absolutely clean; even the built-in stereo mic sounds terrific (check out the audio samples). The extras are just as impressive: there's a built-in metronome and tuner for practicing, plus built-in digital effects for EQ, noise reduction, and reverb, and even software simulation of different microphone types -- you can even fake a vintage mic. When you're ready to off-load your recordings, you can plug into your computer via USB 2.0 (or use onboard digital out or analog in/out). See CDM for more details and discussion. If you're a video/audio pro, check out the hard drive-based 4-track R-4.

I was in the audience at BrainShare '95 when Bob Frankenburg -- then president and CEO of Novell -- conjured up a vision of billions of connected devices. My refrigerator magnets still don't receive weather reports, but when they do, we'll need something like PreCache to make them work. At the same time, I keep recalling Rohit Khare's joke at last year's Emerging Technology Conference. The real integration challenge, he said, is in Layers 8 and 9 of the OSI stack: economic and political. That scale's in a different key, and we'll have to learn to play that one, too.

Economy of Scales: Groove with Your
Fingers and USB 03/17/2005 03:51 AM

Hip-hop, rap, and electronic music changed forever in 1988. That was the year Akai introduced its legendary MPC-60 sampler/groovebox. Computers have looked enviously at music hardware ever since -- and no, clicking a 4x4 grid of drum pads on a screen with your mouse is not the same as doing it physically. But computers are about to strike back: M-Audio's upcoming USB-powered Trigger Finger (see CDM for details) costs just US$199, works with Mac and PC, and doesn't even need drivers. (via GearJunkie) If your fingers are itching to groove, this could be for you. Just start thinking about what your new DJ / hip-hop moniker will be. I'm opting for DJ Procrastinate, so that's taken.

Economy of Scales: A Tale of Two DJ
Mixers 04/14/2005 01:25 PM

Is the future of digital DJing iPods or vinyl?

Yes, says Numark. Aside from apparently working on a concept for a DJ mixer that would integrate iPods, allowing you to scratch right from your portable player (as reported earlier today), Numark continues to beef up its options for hard-core vinyl DJs. Witness the analog-digital hybrid Numark 5000FX (also via scratchworx): this monster can connect three turntables, 6-9 line inputs from devices like laptops, 2 microphones, and output to headphones and multiple line outs. (Beck might have to update the lyrics of the song.) With the $895 5000FX, you can mix, flip, reverse, chop, sample, scratch, beat-match, [rub it down, onoes! -ed.] and add rhythmic echo and other effects. That's not to say that iPod DJing has to be any less musical—real DJ features for the iPod could challenge DJs to get their chops up.

Economy of Scales: iControl for
GarageBand

Economy of Scales: iControl for
GarageBand 04/08/2005 10:39 AM

M-Audio's new iControl (info in German at M- Audio; English analysis at createdigitalmusic) is hardware for controlling Apple's GarageBand music software. It's designed just for GarageBand, down to the fake wood-paneled sides of Apple's interface. Buttons let you set up playback and recording, a big jog wheel and transport controls lets you move around your song with ease, and physical knobs control track volume. Best of all, you can adjust individual track parameters like effects via custom buttons. It's all plug-and-play: connect via USB and GarageBand recognizes the device, no drivers required (thanks to USB class-compliance). Control surfaces have been tightly integrated with applications like this before, but usually on high-end boxes: M-Audio scores a first for an entry-level music interface. Expect a US price under $200.

What does this mean for the leaked Asteroid information that launched legal action by Apple? Not much: the Asteroid was an audio interface, whereas this box is just for control, not audio. That said, check the uncanny similarity to a user-created mockup of a GarageBand control surface posted here on Gizmodo during the flurry of Asteroid activity in November.

Economy of Scales: Tune Plug 03/17/2005 03:51 AM

While record labels and publishers are locked in lawsuits and legal hair-pulling, independent artists are using Creative Commons (CC) licenses as a new publicity tool: keep your copyright, but let consumers copy or even sample your song. Your next Flash Drive might even have albums on it (or is that the other way around?): indie online label Magnatune and manufacturer Hana Micro have loaded up the TunePlug USB drive with ten albums under a CC license. The first 'volume' starts at $19.99; the $69.99 512MB model has all ten albums on it pre-loaded. More details on CDM.

Economy of Scales: Turntable Furniture

Economy of Scales: Turntable Furniture 04/19/2005 11:03 AM

createdigitalmusic's Peter Kirn has been out musical cool-hunting again. Here's his latest report: Who says you can't fill your home with lots of music gear and look good doing it? If you've got two turntables and a very large wad of dough, you can dock your decks in style with one of two space-age turntable tables. DUAL Furniture's floating coffins are suspended to avoid rumble, though you're more likely to put them in your home because they look cool. You should be able to mount it properly for stability, but if you want your decks more grounded, the alien-pod DJ Kreemy Table (street just under $3000) was good enough for a Queer Eye episode. Both of these are designed for vinyl turntables, of course—leave the iPods at home [Or at least on a different table! -Ed.]. Thanks to Max and Wally for the tips.

Economy of Scales: TC Electronic's
G-System 04/06/2005 11:31 AM

If you play guitar, get ready to drool over the slickest electronics you'll ever handle with your shoes. Guitar effects boxes are nothing new, but the sound is usually decidedly low-fi. Not so with TC Electronic's G-System, which packs TC's high-end effects, analog looping, amp switching, floor control, and other extras into a gorgeous case. One major innovation is the slick metal "switch-encoders" for editing: think knobs for your toes. If you can't afford the G-System's EUR 1395 price tag, TC also has a real-analog drive pedal for getting a vintage, gutsy sound, at EUR 275.
