- Man, there's nothing like good, old fashioned, rock and roll... add a bit of industry resentment to that with a double-shot of cynicism, and you get one of the best "new" rock bands going. This album

- This record is perhaps U2's finest hour, yet it has been forgotten as a strange by-product of the ZooTV tour's overload, and is generally regarded by most fans as a poor effort. It is this sentiment t

M-Audio Releases iControl For GarageBand, Other Consumer Devices
Sunday, June 26th, 2005 at 3:00 PM - by Brad Cook
M-Audio on Monday introduced three audio input devices aimed at consumers: iControl, a controller designed for use with GarageBand; JamLab, a USB audio interface that replaces a guitar's amp and effects pedals; and Fast Track Studio Podcasting Edition, a package that contains an audio interface, microphone and software for creating podcasts. iControl and JamLab will ship in July for US$179 and $79, respectively, while Fast Track Studio Podcasting Edition will be on store shelves in September with a $179 price tag.
iControl features dedicated transport buttons for recording and playback functions, with a jog wheel that can scrub to a specific position in the recording and a master volume fader. It also includes a bank of controls for working with eight tracks simultaneously, with dedicated buttons for solo, mute and record. iControl connects to a Mac via USB and includes a 5-pin MIDI input for hooking up a MIDI keyboard. It works with GarageBand 2.0.1 and will be supported in upcoming updates for Logic Express 7 and Logic Pro 7.
Additional information about JamLab and Fast Track Studio Podcasting Edition was not available as The Mac Observer posted this article because M-Audio had not placed product pages on its Web site yet. The company said that its new consumer-oriented products will be available at CompUSA, Fry's Target.com and other retailers.
