Baton Rouge, Louisiana—September 2019… PreSonus® is celebrating the 10th anniversary of its award-winning Studio One® recording and production software. Ten years on, Studio One retains the ease of use and superb sound quality that quickly made it one of the world’s most popular DAWs, while introducing such innovations as an extensive drag-and-drop workflow, an integrated mastering suite, direct links to SoundCloud, and first-of-its kind integration with Celemony Melodyne via ARA technology. Over the years, Studio One’s unique features and integration with third-party hardware and software have made it the centerpiece of a state-of-the-art creative production environment.

To kick off the celebration, PreSonus is releasing Studio One version 4.5.3. This update fulfills Studio One users’ number one request by adding support for Native Instruments’ Komplete Kontrol series keyboards. Studio One 4.5.3 adds several other improvements and enhancements, such as a Remove Plug-in Settings function for the Plug-in Manager, new commands for Vertical Zoom In/Out Fine, and the ability to apply the Select Notes command to muted notes. Support has also been added for the Apple Notarization service in macOS 10.14 Mojave and 10.15 Catalina.

Asheville, NC 9.3.19—At a time when the background noise in audio is all about three dimensional sound and immersive experiences, arguably an extravagance suited to famous concert halls and exotic experimental music, it is contrary to the flow that we should encounter a d&b audiotechnik Soundscape system being applied at a church in Calgary, Alberta.

HOW-TO: Projector Placement and Why Vertical Projection Angles Matter by Dave Rogers

In home_page, Projection, Projection Product News, Video/Broadcastby Media

There are various factors most know about when setting up a projection system but the proverbial “devil in the details” often goes overlooked. I’m talking about a projector’s vertical alignment. It is a relatively simple function but it has small elements to it that every installer should be aware of and that goes double for houses of worship.  It may be a small matter, but the difference between doing it right and wrong will come with either great rewards or a potentially costly disappointment.   This is especially important for Houses of Worship because there are so many different ways a projection system can be installed and there are often more variables at play than an enclosed conference room or home theater.  As a person of faith, I want to contribute to your congregation’s success. This is one of those AV veteran moments where a small bit of advice can spare you from buying expensive AV gear you don’t need, while getting the best performance out of the equipment you have (or can realistically afford).  This is also a topic that will help enhance you the ability to make wise decisions when buying AV gear whenever an upgrade or new building project is in order.   With all that said, saddle up; for the next few minutes we’ve got  work to do…

New DPA 2028 Vocal Mic Aims to Change the Live Performance Landscape

In Audio, Audio Industry News, home_page, Product Newsby admin

ALLEROD, DENMARK, AUGUST 2019DPA Microphones presents a new addition to its microphone lineup, the 2028 Vocal Microphone. The 2028 delivers DPA’s renowned natural sound, which allows all types of vocals to shine. Perfect for everyone from indie artists to international touring singers, the 2028 mic is ideally suited for live stage performances, broadcast and pro AV applications.
On a live stage, the 2028 delivers the same sonic qualities as DPA’s other great solutions. In fact, the 2028 needs no (or very little) EQ to sound just like you are standing next to the singer listening to their performance. This allows the artist to hone-in on their vocals as if not using a microphone, which puts less strain on the voice. In addition, the transparency of the 2028 allows engineers to spend their time shaping the sound experience rather than covering up issues caused by artifacts.
