More Goodies from the Expo - Part One
Posted 01/11/2007 at 9:56:12am | by Rik Myslewski

 

Belkin's demo of the Tune Studio was presented by an actual Real Live Musician (that's the Tune Studio in the center bottom of the image).

 

Belkin was showing a not-yet-released product, the Tune Studio. This nifty little mixer allow you to plug your iPod (full-size or nano) directly into it, and record up to four tracks of music - guitar, microphones, keyboards, whatever - directly onto the iPod. It works using the the iPod's Voice Memo function, but the audio is exceptionally clean: 44kHz, 16-bit WAV format; you can choose between two audio settings, ingeniously labeled "High" and "Low." If you don't want to record simply to your iPod (a great on-the-go way to use it, since the Tune Studio weighs, oh, about nothing...), you can also connect it directly to your Mac over USB.

 

According to a Belkin marketing type who joined the conversation between me and the aforementioned Real Live Musician, pricing for the Tune Studio has not yet been set, but should be "between $200 and $250."

Excellent write-up Rik. With a release as big as the iPhone, many Mac news websites and Mac fans themselves have simply lost site of the rest of the expo.

Nobody said you had to have Photoshop CS2 in order to see CS3 for more than 2 days. I currently have Photoshop CS and was disappointed not be able to use CS3 for more than 2 days. What kind of learning is that?

Since my nephew works for the only store in the area that sells the iMainGo, I mentioned to him that I wanted one and guess what he got me for Christmas? I LOVE it. It sounds great and its basic black color goes with my black iPod. I we had it on most of the day on Christmas to provide seasonal background music. I showed it to my Mom and she said, "What is it, a transistor radio?" and I had to admit that it did resemble one that I had in my youth, when small transistor radios were cool.
