Old Lyme, Conn., June 9, 2016 – For the 200 VIP guests attending Sennheiser’s Shape the Future of Audio Party in Basel, the thrill of experiencing a live set from renowned DJ and producer Robin Schulz will take on a whole new dimension – quite literally. The set will be held at a special event ahead of the public opening of the prestigious Art Basel show. It will be one of the first to be performed using AMBEO, the new 3D audio technology from Sennheiser, which will let the guests party while entirely immersed in sound. Robin Schulz became a global star within short time and has strongly influenced the world of pop and club-music. The superstar has officially been announced as one of the international most successful German artists of the last two decades.  At the Future of Audio party he will premier his all-new song ‘More than a friend’ (feat. Nico Santos) specially written for Sennheiser and recorded and mixed using AMBEO.

The Shape the Future of Audio Party is an exclusive event held by Sennheiser on June 15 at Basel’s Ostquai to mark the audio specialist’s role as Official Audio Partner of the prestigious Art Basel art fair. Guests will be treated to a club experience with a difference: one of the very first opportunities to experience Sennheiser’s groundbreaking AMBEO technology in a club environment.

“At Art Basel we are celebrating the role of sound in the arts both now and into the future,” said Dr. Andreas Sennheiser, co-CEO of Sennheiser.

“We are very proud to work with artists from across the spectrum of creative endeavor and at Art Basel we will be bringing this diversity to life – from partying with Robin Schulz on the dancefloor to using microphones to elevate the works of Swiss sound artist Zimoun. We believe that the pursuit of perfect sound transcends cultural boundaries”, explains Daniel Sennheiser, co-CEO of Sennheiser.

Audio Professor Touts Audient ASP8024, Adds iD22 For Portability

Kansas City (June 2, 2016) - Kansas City Kansas Community College has been a proud owner of an Audient ASP8024 for over 6 years, a decision that Professor of Audio Recording & Music Technology, Dr Ian Corbett still stands by, having seen hundreds of students hone their audio engineering skills on the large format analogue mixing console. The notion to add an iD22 to his teaching arsenal this year was born out of that trust in Audient. Dr Corbett uses his new audio interface in his office to grade assignments, as well as with his laptop, which he uses extensively throughout the curriculum, at various places throughout the campus and also when travelling and representing the college, presenting at conferences and conventions.

 

He explains, "Tired of carting around a full rack unit interface, or suffering the hums and buzzes of the laptop's built-in audio output, the iD22 was a small solution that also sounds better than the smaller 'budget' interfaces available - particularly important when I'm giving a presentation on audio quality! It also gives me the flexibility to be able to make great sounding recordings directly into the computer, and get reliable readings from a test mic when pinking or sweep-tone analyzing a room. The fact that the iD22 can function as a playback device without external power was an unexpected plus point and convenience."

 

"A curriculum with extensive study and hands-on experience of the analog signal path, promotes essential signal flow and troubleshooting skills that will transfer to the widest variety of potential employment situations." - Dr Ian Corbett

IK Multimedia releases VocaLive 3 for iPhone and iPad - adds Mic Room, 4-track looper, simultaneous multi-track recording

IK Multimedia, the leader in mobile music making software, apps and accessories, is proud to announce VocaLive 3, a major update to the professional, full-featured vocal effects and production suite for iPhone and iPad.  VocaLive 3 gives vocalists the effects and tools they need to create and perform stunning vocals for live settings and for recordings on-the-go, at any time, anywhere.

VocaLive 3 is a complete Vocal effects processing and recording suite that lets vocalists create stunning vocal tracks on their iPhone or iPad.  It features 5 vocal effects - Pitch Fix, Choir, Morph, De-esser, and Doubler, plus 7 utility studio effects - Reverb, Delay, Parametric EQ, Compressor, Chorus, Phazer and Envelope Filter. Users can add up to 4 effects in the processor chain and use their iPhone or iPad to perform live or record with its integrated, expanded Recorder/DAW. VocaLive is designed for use with IK's extensive iRig line of digital and analog microphones, and audio interfaces, including: iRig Mic Studio, iRig Mic HD, iRig PRO and iRig Pro DUO.

New available features in VocaLive 3 include: IK's Mic Room microphone modeling technology*, an integrated 4-track looper*, and the ability to record up to 8 audio tracks simultaneously*, plus one additional effects slot in the iPhone version.

Mic Room - a microphone choice for every voice
VocaLive 3 has a new available "Mic Room" - microphone modeling feature that lets users choose from 20 different studio microphone emulations and add the sound and coloration of some of the recording world's most coveted microphones. Musicians, broadcasters and engineers simply select which input microphone they're using, and then choose the microphone model they want it to sound like in VocaLive 3. Vocal tracks previously recorded in the recorder may also be "re-miked" to achieve a more perfected or specific sound. Mic Room features the definitive collection of vintage and modern dynamic, condenser, ribbon and specialty microphones.

Loop in creativity
VocaLive 3 also features a new available 4-track looper.  The looper is extremely intuitive to use and may be activated and controlled via any iOS compatible MIDI controller, like IK's iRig BlueBoard Bluetooth wireless pedalboard, iRig Pads, or any standard MIDI controller connected via iRig MIDI 2. Users simply activate the first loop channel and perform, then hit stop when finished to set the loop length. Additional vocal loops can be recorded and activated for the ultimate in creative vocal exploration and development of melody, harmony and lyrical concepts. Each "loop" channel features its own volume control for mixing, and loops can be exported for use in the DAW/Recorder or shared.

Simultaneous multi-track recording
Now users can enjoy up to 8 channels of simultaneous multi-track recording with the available built-in DAW-like mixer in VocaLive 3. The Recorder/Studio section provides users with an integrated comprehensive multi-track recording studio with all the features found in the most popular desktop setups.  Users have access to 8 tracks with Pan, level mute, solo, effects arm and record enable, dual sends per channel into a master effects section, DAW-style editing and waveform display. VocaLive allows musicians to create complete works of art without having to leave the app and disrupt the creative flow.

Reign with the chain
VocaLive 3 provides an array of utility and FX processing tools in the form of virtual stompboxes that can be set up in a chain of up to 4 slots in both the iPhone and iPad versions. Once the effects chain is defined, users can control effects with a MIDI controller like the iRig BlueBoard, and save their virtual setups and configurations as presets for easy recall on the fly.

Pricing and availability
VocaLive 3 for iPhone and iPad are now available from the App Store for just $19.99. Previous users of the full version of VocaLive may update to version 3 at no cost.

*The Mic Pack ($9.99), Looper ($9.99), All FX pack ($19.99) and Recorder/Studio ($19.99) are available as in-app purchases.
