MI7 and PreSonus at Inter BEE 2012!

[This just in from MI7, our distributors in Japan!]

We exhibited at Inter BEE 2012. Recognized as a professional show for audio, video and communications, Inter BEE has established itself as an international exhibition showcasing top-level domestic and overseas broadcast, video, audio and lighting equipment as well as peripheral applications and solutions all under one roof.

We displayed two sections for music production solutions: medium-format live solution and small-format live solution. StudioLive and Studio One was most popular! The visitors enjoyed the sound and hands-on experience. We obtained approximately 700 leads! I attached some photo for your reference. Thank you for your support.

WORLD PREMIERE – Scott Szeryk – “Black Squirrel Funk” – Live at Aeolian Hall

Up for some funky shred? Because Scott’s StudioLive 24.4.2 sure was. Sounds like a studio track, but this is allllll live. 🙂

Austin Woodward Gets Shot by Photographic Royalty

[The following comes to us from Ken Davis, manager for the young six-string wünderkid, and PreSonus Artist Austin Woodward.]

Hey PreSonus team!

I just wanted to get you some photos of Austin Woodward from the big “Brotherhood of the Guitar” show here in Nashville. All photos were shot by legendary music photographer Robert M Knight (Zeppelin, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Hendrix, etc.) Please feel free to post them. BTW, there is something major going on with the Brotherhood of the Guitar coming up in 2013. More details to come…
All the best,
Ken Davis

San Diego Troubadour on PreSonuSphere

[Sven-Erik Seaholm, Executive Wordsmith over at San Diego Troubadour, flew out to Baton Rouge for PreSonuSphere and created a nice writeup on his experience.]

As my flight lifts off from the Baton Rouge runway, a silvery trickle of sunlight glints along the plane’s wing (of which I have a perfect view) and suddenly splashes into my eyes with the blinding sting of organic hotel shampoo. Lying back, I think about the events from the last two days and wonder if I’ll ever be able to digest all of the info and experiences I feasted on like Thursday’s jambalaya…

Regular readers of this column know that in addition to the techniques and philosophies discussed here, we also cover a lot of different gear from a variety of manufacturers. Microphones to headphones, keyboards to plug-ins; if it helps you make better music and recordings we try to cover it. That said, there are a few companies whose products have been featured here numerous times. None more so than those from PreSonus (www.presonus.com).

Most recently, we looked at their StudioLive 16.0.2 mixer and StudioOne 2 digital audio workstation software. We highlighted these particular products for three specific reasons: the amount of power being placed into the hands of the “average” musician or recordist, the company’s very reasonable price points and the ingenuity and elegance with which their solutions are rendered.

When I heard they were hosting a two-day event called PreSonuSphere, an interactive conference where users would not only attend information-drenched presentations and receive hands-on training with PreSonus’ line of mixers and software solutions, but would actually be able to interact with the developers of these products as well, I knew I had to go.
