WAVES PRESENTS CLA CLASSIC COMPRESSORS
Waves expands its Modeling Series with four classic compressor / limiters developed with GRAMMY®-winning mixing engineer Chris Lord-Alge
Waves Audio, a leading provider of digital signal processing solutions, continues its emphasis on collaboration with top engineers, producers, and mixers as it presents the CLA Classic Compressors, developed in collaboration with Chris Lord-Alge. With an engineering/mixing career spanning almost three decades, Chris Lord-Alge has worked alongside such artists as Green Day, U2, Tina Turner, James Brown, Nickelback, Rod Stewart, Santana, Steve Winwood, Celine Dion and many others. At the heart of his sound is a command of compression that gives each and every track he mixes its radio-ready punch. During the development process of CLA Classic Compressors, Lord-Alge worked closely with the Waves R&D team, resulting in impeccable models of four compressors considered true classics by audio engineers the world over.
CLA Classic Compressors consist of four plug-ins: the CLA-2A, the CLA-3A, the CLA-76 Blacky and the CLA-76 Bluey. These classic models grant users access to the same tools that Lord-Alge has used to help define hard-hitting rock and pop over the last several decades.
Waves CLA-2A Compressor/Limiter Modeled on the world's first electro-optical tube compressor, the CLA-2A emulates the original's smooth, frequency-dependent behavior that has made it a favorite of engineers everywhere. Like the mid-60s classic, the CLA-2A sounds great on guitars and bass and particularly shines on vocals. Topping it off with Lord-Alge's personal presets and the zero-latency only a Native plug-in can provide, CLA-2A offers users a model that far surpasses its inspiration.
Waves CLA-3A Compressor/Limiter Based on the early 1970s solid-state unit known for its unique and highly transparent compression curve, the CLA-3A delivers the quick response and the subtle harmonic distortion for which the original is world-renowned. Just like the original, the CLA-3A is ideal for bass, guitars and vocals. Unlike the original, users can fire up as many instances as their systems can handle.
Waves CLA-76 Compressor/Limiter Inspired by two highly-desirable revisions of the famed mid-60s Class A line level limiting amplifier, both versions of the CLA-76 ("Blacky" and "Bluey") offer the super-fast attack that made the originals studio legends. With an exclusive "All" control that recreates the original's explosive "All-Ratio-Buttons-In" mode, plus modeled pre-amp distortion for extra edge, the CLA-76 delivers some of the most powerful drum sounds imaginable.
The Waves Chris Lord-Alge CLA Classic Compressors will be available Mid-July 2009 with a U.S. MSRP of $800.00 Native / $1600 TDM and is available separately as well as part of Waves Mercury. Mercury owners covered by Waves Update Plan receive CLA Classic Compressors at no additional charge.

Native Instruments Releases KONTAKT 3.5 with Extended Memory Addressing
Native Instruments today released KONTAKT 3.5, a major free update for its leading software sampler. The new version fully utilizes the capabilities of today's computer systems to overcome existing performance barriers, and includes many improvements that make KONTAKT even more powerful and convenient.At the heart of KONTAKT 3.5 is a new high-performance sample engine with unrivaled capabilities for sophisticated orchestral scoring and similar complex projects that are a mainstay of professional KONTAKT users. KONTAKT 3.5 is fully compatible with Windows Vista 64, and takes advantage of 64-bit memory addressing to utilize practically unlimited amounts of RAM. On the Mac, KONTAKT 3.5 introduces the new "Kontakt Memory Server" which can make use of up to 32 GByte RAM on OS X 10.4 and beyond.
KONTAKT 3.5 also uses a new "zero-memory" DFD technology for highly efficient disc streaming with a strongly reduced memory footprint, and true multiprocessor support now enables additional performance benefits on modern multi-core and multiprocessor setups.
To better accommodate its unparalleled arsenal of third-party instrument content, the new KONTAKT version displays all installed libraries and KONTAKT PLAYER instruments in a virtual rack, giving producers improved overview for even the most extensive sound collections.
Further enhancements in KONTAKT 3.5 include direct MIDI learn for sound parameter controls, improved automapping, individual bypass for effect slots, optimized Pro Tools compatibility on Mac OS X 10.5, KSP aftertouch interpretation, and a localized info pane in six languages.
The 3.5 update is now available as a free download for all owners of KONTAKT 3.
More information on KONTAKT 3.5 can be found at www.native-instruments.com/kontakt35.info
Stanton Now Shipping SCS.3m™ Mixer Controller
New compact MIDI controller and software bundle advances SC System 3 to a total control solution
Stanton DJ, an industry leader in the design and manufacturer of professional audio products for DJs, announced today that they are now shipping the SCS.3m, the next installment in their award-winning, SC System 3 series controllers. The SCS.3m is a portable new MIDI controller with a unique control surface that emulates the layout of a traditional two channel mixer, but is completely touch-sensitive and features the acclaimed StanTouch® technology introduced in its deck controller counterpart, the Stanton SCS.3d. Each SCS.3m will ship with a new version of Native Instruments' Traktor LE that is based on the latest TRAKTOR PRO software platform, allowing the SC System 3 products to be used together to create a full DJ system with intuitive control over the robust software features introduced with Traktor LE. Using only the SCS.3m, SCS.3d, and Traktor LE, a complete DJ rig with performance control features that surpass the capabilities of traditional mixer/deck equipment can be setup anywhere in the world within minutes. The SCS.3m incorporates all of the functions of a two channel DJ mixer, plus a host of new performance features made possible by Stanton’s unique touch sensitive control surface. The touch sensitive sliders can be used to tweak EQs, allowing DJs to bring in different elements of a song during a mix, or instantly switch the sliders to control FX parameters within Traktor LE. The wide, touch-sensitive crossfader allows for seamless slow blends between decks, but is also able to detect multiple finger presses, allowing for quick transform effects all in one control surface. The multicolor buttons can easily perform transport controls for starting and stopping playback, setting loops, doing EQ kills, or engaging effects without requiring a separate trigger controller. All of the visual indicators stay 100% in sync with applications supporting MIDI feedback, allowing for clear indication of the software settings and positions in low light situations. Additionally, the unique surface provides a new level of durability, since there are no moving parts to wear or break.
“The SCS.3m is the next step in creating a modular, flexible and scalable control system. It’s always been our vision to make the 3 series a powerful, adaptable, and expandable line of products and the 3m takes the next logical step in providing the mixer analogy to stand next to the 3d”, said Jim Mazur, Stanton’s Director of Product Development. Every SCS.3m comes with the ability to unlock Native Instrument’s award winning Traktor Pro software. One of the first controllers integrating with the new Traktor LE, the SCS.3m is designed to interface seamlessly with Traktor’s internal mixer, and incorporate full application feedback from Traktor, ensuring complete parity between hardware and software. iTunes® integration, album art support, and broad file compatibility allow for unparalleled music collection browsing and management, so finding and organizing tracks is quick and simple. An advanced tempo detection / synchronization engine enables the DJ to sync the decks for an automatic beat match once music has been loaded into the virtual deck eliminating the traditional challenges of lining up two songs for a mix. For the more accomplished DJ, Traktor LE also opens the door to advanced performance techniques such as dropping FX and looping for live remixing.
The SCS.3m can be used as a standalone controller for basic software mixing, but when paired with the SCS.3d deck controllers, provide a completely mobile MIDI control rig that allows DJs to plug and play anywhere in the world without the traditional hassles. With a built-in powered USB hub, the SCS.3m can also be connected to one or more SCS.3d controllers, offering up a high tech version of a full traditional DJ setup, without weight, size and connectivity issues. Additionally, special custom presets for other popular DJ applications are available for free download on the Stanton website. For more information on the SCS.3m, other products in the SC System family, or Stanton’s full line of traditional DJ equipment, please visit www.stantondj.com and www.enterthesystem.com.

The “Trident” name, by way of parent company PMI Audio Group, is famous not only as the now-legendary UK studio that produced a litany of classic recordings, but also as the manufacturer that spawned incredible console designs including the universally loved A-Range desk. “It’s well-understood by the audio production community throughout the world that Universal Audio is an unstoppable force in the circuit emulation business,” said PMI President Alan Hyatt. “Their good faith to involve the holders of the original designs and trademarks shows respect to the IP owners and creative contributors such as Trident designer Malcolm Toft. We couldn’t be happier to partner with a company so dedicated to getting every last detail right.” Universal Audio’s President Matt Ward commented, “Universal Audio has always had a huge respect for the classic Trident designs, and of course Trident’s sonic contribution to some of the best records ever made. We’re very pleased to add Trident to the UAD product line, and I’m certain that our more than 30,000 users will agree.” “Trident’s indelible impact on the sound of record making is nearly impossible to gauge. The consoles made available to Trident’s staff, and the studios fortunate enough to acquire them, were legendary in both sound and reliability. Every record made on a Trident was uniquely and quite positively altered by the sonic imprint of its distinctive tone,” said UA’s Plug-In Product Manager Will Shanks. “It is exciting to offer this same tone on the UAD Powered Plug-In Platform.”

NEW METRIC HALO ULN-8 CHOSEN FOR AIRSHOW MASTERING
Airshow Mastering's East Coast studios are relocating to a larger facility in Takoma Park, Maryland from its longtime operations base in Springfield, Virginia. The new facility will incorporate two mastering studios, each equipped with an eight-channel Metric Halo ULN-8 interface outfitted with the latest 2d upgrades and running v5 software in conjunction with soundBlade(tm) software from Sonic Studio, LLC.Airshow Mastering co-owner Charlie Pilzer comments, "The MIO is an integral part of the design at the new facility. I have used the Metric Halo boxes with Sonic Studio soundBlade for a long time. They are my principal interface to the computer."
Pilzer utilizes Metric Halo ULN-8 multichannel and ULN-2 two-channel interfaces for a variety of applications. "I mostly work in the studio and do CD mastering, audio editing and audio restoration. But that's not all I use them for. The ULN-2 goes with me on virtually every live gig that I do. When I do location music recording, it's the same thing. I'll choose the boxes to take with me depending on the channel count. I've recorded everything from large choruses with a stereo pair of mics through the ULN-2 and the v5 recording panel to multitracking in Nuendo using multiple ULN-8s + a 2882 That's all part of Metric Halo's flexibility."
"Plus," he continues, "I use it as an interface for Metric Halo's SpectraFoo audio analysis software. I can use it to inject signals or music into a PA system and then look at the responses, using the various analysis tools in SpectraFoo to help tune the system. I even use it as a test system to check out my gear."
The new ULN-8, incorporating 2d technology and v5 software, has brought a new level of functionality to the Metric Halo interface, he says. "It's like having this cool little analog desk - it's digital, but you can put character on it. On each of the channels they have a DSP process called "Character" and you can have a very neutral channel or, if you want something that has a little bit of character, you can make it sound like it has a transformer or a tube built into the circuit. You can tailor it to what you need for the project. Another very interesting and useful DSP plug-in is the "TransientControl." It's useful for increasing the snap of a snare or taming an electronic keyboard. "
Having DSP running inside the box has proven very convenient, he says. "You have EQ and compression and everything, so rather than having to patch in and out of an external piece of gear, or use native plug-ins, I can use the MIO box to do some of the same things. The EQ is very high-quality and transparent-sounding."
The interface is truly a Swiss Army knife, and the v5 software additionally lends itself to a wide variety of applications, he says. "The way they've set up the new software, whether you're doing stereo or multitrack or quad or 5.1, you can reconfigure it in a way that makes it really easy to use. I've even hooked it up in theater productions and used it with QLab, a program that can fire off cues to multiple channels. I just loaded the driver onto the Mac in the theater, plugged in the ULN-8 and off we went."
Over the course of a year Pilzer will use the Metric Halo interfaces to mix at various outdoor events such as the Smithsonian Folklife Festival, National Folk Festival and the American Folk Music Festival. "I usually have a ULN-2 with me. It's getting a little scratched up and dusty but it doesn't seem to bother the equipment. It's rugged enough for touring use. I clean it out when I return home," he reports. That gear goes with him on location recording gigs, too.
In fact, outboard equipment may not even be necessary. At a recent location recording, he shares, "I took two MIO boxes and a set of API preamps, and we never took the APIs out. We had some nice Neumann tube mics and plugged them straight into the MIO and it sounded so good we said, 'why mess with it?'"
"Metric Halo has always been interested in making something that sounded better than anything else," says Pilzer, who started out with an original MIO 2882+DSP. "I was looking for a compact system that had preamps, converters and a FireWire interface, but I was principally interested in sound quality. Then, when they came out with the ULN-2, I purchased one. As good as the 2882 sounded, the ULN sounded even better. They upgraded the preamps - Joe Buchalter [president of Metric Halo] worked his analog magic - and they began building more functionality in. Here was a little, self-contained unit with knobs on the front, so if all you needed was stereo in and out, here was this extremely high-quality preamp."
According to Pilzer, the quality just gets better and better. "First was a high quality multichannel interface, then an amazing two-channel preamp/converter box. Now they've come up with the 2d card. And with v5 software, it adds a whole new level of functionality to my existing boxes. And I believe they sound better. It preserves the investment I made in the 2882 and in the ULN-2. The ULN-8 is a whole new level of functionality. It can be configured from the v5 console software, yet operated via the front panel on location. But ultimately, it's the sound of the Metric Halo MIO interfaces that I find most attractive."

Imogen Heap Chooses Dangerous Music and Focal
New Album Tracks Debuted at Private Listening Sessions Using Focal Twin6 Be Monitors and Dangerous D-Box
In a joint announcement today Focal Professional and Dangerous Music announced that Imogen Heap has just finished a preview tour of her upcoming album 'Ellipse' at private listening sessions around the US using Focal Twin6 Be monitor speakers and the Dangerous D-Box for monitoring control. RCA Records organized the listening tour and worked with Dangerous Music and Focal to create the high-fidelity playback system that was used in hotel suites in major US cities to preview several tracks from Ms. Heap's upcoming album.
The British singer-songwriter-producer and two-time Grammy nominee is set to release her much anticipated new solo album 'Ellipse' on August 25th 2009 on RCA Records. At the listening events Ms. Heap previewed tracks including "First Train Home," "Wait It Out," "Earth" and the piano song "Half Life" which ends the album 'Ellipse' as its final track.
Commenting on the listening events, Ms. Heap said, "I was a bit nervous as it was the first time I'd played 'Ellipse' outside of the studio environment. But as soon as I played it through the Dangerous Music and Focal speaker system I realized I had nothing to worry about."
SPIN Magazine covered one listening party at a penthouse suite in New York's Gramercy Park Hotel http://www.spin.com/articles/imogen-heap-shares-new-tunes-nyc where they described the event as "an intimate listening session...where guests sipped glasses of gin-spiked sangria" while Ms. Heap used her laptop with the iTunes visualizer on to play music from her upcoming album through the hi-fi audio system.
The Dangerous D-Box has won multiple recording industry awards for its innovative design and sonic purity. Engineered for the compact digital recording and mixing environment the D-Box integrates seamlessly into the modern workflow of computer musicians and audio professionals who require exceptional audio quality and functionality. Bringing together a collection of key features garnered from other Dangerous products, the D-Box has an integrated programmable monitor control section, providing analog and digital input selection and speaker switching. It also sports 8-channels of the world-renowned Dangerous Music analog summing technology, as well as an on-board 24 bit/96KHz D-to-A converter, talkback, dual headphone amps with individual volume control and more.
The Focal Twin6 Be monitors are the most popular of the Focal Professional range, as they are a single solution for recording, mixing and mastering. The sonic image precision, treble definition and midrange neutrality are at the heart of its reputation. Excellent articulation of the bass and mid-bass registers, even at very high sound levels, makes it a perfect reference for engineers who require absolute transparency. The design of the Twin6 Be allows a high SPL while offering a stable tonal balance. One of the two 6.5" woofers works in large band (midrange - bass) whereas the other reproduces from 40 to 150Hz. This creates bass that preserves all the signal dynamics, without any masking effect in the midrange, keeping its neutrality and transparency.
Maintaining one of the biggest online profiles, Ms. Heap has more than 40 million plays and over 350,000 friends on Myspace, and over 7 million views on You Tube for her standout single from 'Speak For Yourself.' Visit Imogen Heap's website at: www.imogenheap.com

Waves Live Division Expands Plug-In Offerings for Use with the Digidesign Venue/D-Show
Following closely on the announcement earlier this year that more than 50 of Waves' most popular plug-ins are now compatible for use with Digidesign® D-Show Software and VENUE consoles, Waves Live Division announces VENUE Compatibility for its successful Hybrid Line (H-Comp Hybrid Compressor and H-Delay Hybrid Delay) and PuigChild Compressor/Limiter. Users now have the benefit of being able to use these invaluable studio tools in live sound applications. These TDM plug-ins can run on Digidesign VENUE consoles using the Waves D-Show Enabler. Current Waves TDM users can purchase the D-Show Enabler, making their Waves products fully VENUE-compatible.Waves Hybrid Line Drawing on the technical breakthroughs of their award-winning console/processor models (SSL 4000 Collection, V-Series, The API Collection, The JJP Collection), Waves has created a series of plug-ins that blends the best of yesterday's sound with today's technology. The Hybrid Line offers the color and character of classic analog hardware processors with the features and flexibility of Waves digital plug-ins. The first two products in the Waves Hybrid Line are the H-Comp Hybrid Compressor and the H-Delay Hybrid Delay. H-Comp is a brand new dynamics processor that combines the modeled behavior of transformers, tubes, and transistors with the power and precision provided only by modern-day plug-ins. From slap-back echo, ping-pong delay and tempo-sync with modulation, to filtering, flanging, phasing and more, H-Delay delivers real vintage as well as PCM42-style effects, controlled by a super-intuitive interface.
The PuigChild 660 & 670 Compressor/Limiter Part of the Waves Jack Joseph Puig Collection, the PuigChild 660 & 670 Compressor/Limiter was created by Waves in close partnership with multiple GRAMMY®-winning producer/mixer Jack Joseph Puig. Throughout the vinyl era, the original Fairchild stereo 670 compressor and its mono counterpart, the 660, were used on dozens of classic records. From the recording studio to the record lathe, the Fairchild was renowned for its advanced compression techniques and incomparable sound. With the PuigChild Compressor/Limiter, Waves has captured every distinctive nuance of Jack Joseph Puig's personal vintage Fairchild 670, along with every detail of its rich harmonic complexity.
The introduction of new VENUE compatibility for these key plug-ins comes during a flurry of activity for the Waves Live Division. After years of creating hardware and software tools that have become a staple of the modern recording studio, and in the process bringing to market a number of products that have become indispensable components of the live sound signal chain, earlier this year Waves Audio announced the formation of Waves Live Division, a dedicated branch addressing the needs of the live sound market sector. With that announcement came the unveiling of a new website, www.waveslive.com, as well as the first round of D-Show/VENUE live capability for Waves plug-ins. Since then, the Division has been continuing to develop new software for live sound, with an in-depth focus on innovative, market-driven product. Additionally, several high-profile Waves Live users have come forward to praise the product line, including "Big Mick" Hughes (FOH for Metallica), Ken "Pooch" Van Druten (FOH for Linkin Park, System of a Down), prominent A/V contactor Clair Brothers and many more.
Asher Bitansky, Waves Director of Business Development and a key supervisor of the Live Division, stated, "Waves Live Division is dedicated to providing performers and live sound engineers the same high-quality processing tools found in Waves' studio bundles. The PuigChild and the Hybrid Line have proven very successful plug-ins for a wide variety of studio users, and represent the ongoing commitment by Waves to create tools enabling new levels of creativity and control to the Live sound mixer."
