Applied Acoustics Systems and Nomad Factory have teamed up for a special, limited time offer on Chromaphone and Echoes. When purchased together, customers save 20% off the price of buying each plug-in separately. Offer is good only through July 31, 2012.

Echoes by Nomad Factory is the new "Analog Echo Box" plug-in from Nomad Factory designed to emulate the warmth and richness of classic vintage delay effects. Echoes faithfully models two Echoplex® models, the Tel-Ray® "Oilcan", the Electro Harmonix® Deluxe Memory Man, and the Boss® DM-2 Analog Delay.*

Chromaphone by AAS, is an instrument workshop for musicians and producers. With the turn of a few knobs, users can build their own instruments based on models of acoustic materials, shaping metal, carving wood, and stretching skins. Users can combine acoustic resonators to create drums, percussion, string and synth-like instruments that are both organic and unique.

Resonance Sound has announced the release of Minimal Techno Revolution Vol.2 by Sounds of Revolution.

Besides being handcrafted with all modern studio weapons, the loops (127 bpm) are leaving enough headroom for all those little spices you might have in mind for your next hit. Carefully sorted into lots of categories, available in the most popular sampler formats and at a total of 628 loops and 561 oneshots and drums there's nothing for you to worry about - well, maybe that you'll be spending too much time tinkering in your studio...

The Mackie Master Fader app gives you total control over your Mackie DL1608 16-Channel Digital Live Mixer.

With a user interface designed from the ground up for touch, all mix functions* are controllable using Master Fader via the wired dock connection in the DL1608 or with a Wi-Fi network allowing you to control the mix from anywhere.
