groovetool is a stand alone utility designed specifically for computer musicians (like us) who are looking to put a little feel into their drum tracks. The creators of this product are not software developers, but real music producers.

groovetool works by setting up a simple 16 note bar, allowing you to offset the timing of notes in a fast, friendly way. The program then creates a small midi part which can drag directly onto most popular sequencers. Now visible in your favorite sequencer, the midi part can quickly be converted to a quantize template for your drum patterns.

iZotope, Inc. have announced the release of iZotope Radius for Logic, a version of their high-end time stretching and pitch shifting algorithm built for Apple’s Logic Pro. iZotope Radius for Logic integrates directly into Logic Pro’s Time Machine and offers a separate application for control of additional parameters.

iZotope Radius allows for independent control over timing and pitch of any audio material while preserving the character and acoustic space of the original recording. Using an advanced hybrid method, it is able to preserve transients and sustained material simultaneously, making it extremely useful for modifying fully mixed performances as well as individual instruments, voices, or other audio sources.

Because Radius is designed for completely transparent operation on a wide variety of source material, iZotope tell us that it is well suited for many applications in video post production, music production, sound design, and home audio.

Price and Availability
iZotope Radius for Logic is available for purchase directly from iZotope for $399.99 USD.

In 2006 Proton Radio will launch an on-oemand subscription service. What this means: paying subscribers will be able to login to the Proton site and listen to any Proton On Demand show at any time. Miss the latest Featured Artist? Want to hear that Particles mix again? Now you can. In 192kbps quality.

The cost of the new on demand subscription will be $9.99 USD per month.

Proton Radio On Demand is now open for public beta testing! We are accepting 50 dedicated Proton fans to help test the new service.

Q: What is ‘On Demand’?
On Demand means Proton when you want it. Currently if a show airs on Proton you can only listen to it at a scheduled time, the occasional rebroadcast, or if you’re lucky enough to find a download of it later on. With On Demand you can listen to the latest broadcast from any On Demand show whenever you want.

Q: Does On Demand mean Download?
No. Subscribing to the service does not allow you to download every mix On Demand– it allows you rather to stream the show just like you would listen to the normal Proton stream. When you tune into a mix you’ll be able to start listening from the beginning.

The Sound Guy has announced the release of SFX Machine Pro v1.0, the latest, and most advanced, member of the SFX Machine family of audio multi-effects plug-ins for Mac OS X and Windows. It comes with over 300 effects, including more than 50 new effects. In addition, a modular Preset Editor allows users to create their own effects from scratch.

The plug-in provides Tempo Sync, which matches LFO frequencies and delay times to the host sequencer’s tempo, and it includes an output limiter, a new interface, and twice as much delay memory as SFX Machine RT. Automated parameter control is possible via a simple “MIDI Learn” interface, and a Randomize button allows quick experimentation.

SFX Machine Pro has an extensive collection of effects, from the conventional to the bizarre, allowing it to serve as a “swiss army knife” of audio utilities.

SFX Machine Pro costs $199; It is available in VST and Audio Unit formats for Mac OS X, and VST format for Windows. Demo versions are available.
