[HD] - HIGH DEFINITION:
This is another 3D project I created using a band logo of the 80’s. This started as a drawing I made back in High School[Ok…so it’s antique). I drafted the design into the program to to create a 3D image. Original project was used for creating screen savers for my personal computer. I thought I would produce a HD video file to post on YouTube for any other Blue Oyster Cult fans whom might take interest in it. Video is repetetive but works great as a screen saver(When converted/rendered into/as an .scr file)

http://www.premierguitar.com PG’s Jordan Wagner is On Location in Anaheim, CA, for the 2010 NAMM Show where he visits the PreSonus booth. In this segment, we get to see some of their new recording products for 2010.
StudioLive is truly a third-generation digital mixer. Easier to use, better sounding, and flawlessly integrated with state-of-the-art software, it delivers the most creative environment possible for both live performance and studio music production.
Here, in one portable device, are high-headroom XMAX™ microphone preamplifiers, a built-in FireWire recording and playback interface, more than 90 signal processors, a big library of DSP effects, 6 (16.4.2) or 10 (24.4.2) aux buses, 4 subgroups, extensive LED metering, mixer save and recall, channel-strip save/recall/copy/paste, talkback, and more.
Create live mixes that glisten with clarity and detail—then record and enhance the performance with the power of StudioLive.
Get creative in the studio. Build mixes, loops, sound effects, and more, then bring them out to your show and mix them with the live performance. Process channels using your favorite plug-ins and completely automate your entire performance. StudioLive revolutionizes music production, opening endless creative possibilities.
Studio One is a groundbreaking music creation and production application for Mac OS X and Windows XP/Vista that makes audio recording, MIDI sequencing, and audio mastering ridiculously simple right out of the box.
Its a creative environment built for intuitive use, speed, and efficiencyand yet its robust enough for the most complex productions.
