One of the most interesting introductions at NAMM this year wasn’t a synth or new control surface, but KRK’s ERGO – a digital room analysis and correction system.
ERGO analyzes and compensates for bad room acoustics, which can negatively effect your mixes.
The unit connects to a computer via Firewire when it is performing its room analysis, but since all correction processing resides in ERGO, no overhead is needed from the computer audio system. This means that ERGO can function in pure analog systems since it can work as a stand-alone room correction/speaker control unit after room analysis is complete.
Acoustic treatment room correction isn’t as sexy as a new synth, but it can make a big improvement in your mixes.
ERGO is $799, but you can expect this technology to drop in price in the next few years and become a standard part of home studios.
Steinberg and Yamaha have introduced a new MIDI controller for Cubase, the CC121 Advanced Integration Controller.
Features :
- Advanced Integration controller knob with ‘point and control’ support: controls any visual Cubase 4 parameter, internal FX setting or VSTi parameter using mouse pointer selection
- Instant plug and play with ‘Cubase Ready’ LED – no additional setup or parameter assigning required
- One motorized 100mm touch-sensitive fader
- Dedicated control of Cubase channel settings including solo/mute, record arm, ‘e’ settings button, automation read/write, pan and VSTi editor
- Full Cubase EQ section in hardware with 12 dedicated rotary encoders, with mode selection and bypass switches
- User-assignable section with Cubase-integrated presets for Control Room studio sends and monitoring setup.
CC121 will support Windows XP Windows Vista and Mac OS X, and will be available in Q3 2008 with price TBA.
