TECHTALK



NAMM is in a couple of weeks. I've been going to these shows since the 1980s, and I always get the same buzz from seeing new gear, especially gear that brings quality and ease of use to musicians. So this month I've been thinking about portable rigs for musicians--affordable packages to keep their ideas flowing without emptying the wallet.



TOP STORIES



Few songwriters have captured the spirit of New York City better than the late, truly great Lou Reed. Okay, it wasn't always the most flattering portrait of the city--no carriage rides in Central Park--but it was always honest and true; the dark underbelly rendered in frank minimalist poetry.



In a previous life, Neil Goldberg, a founding member of Heavy Melody Music, was a guitarist with the cult metal band Annihilator who once turned down Sharon Osbourne when she offered him an audition for Ozzy's band. The time wasn't right...



The Cinema Audio Society in Los Angeles announces the nominees for the 50th Annual CAS Awards for Outstanding Achievement in Sound Mixing for 2013 in six categories. The organization also announces the 10th Annual Cinema Audio Society Technical Achievement Award Nominations.



Avid, based in Burlington, Mass., announces the appointments of two technology industry veterans to senior management positions. Rick Lowenstein has been appointed senior vice president of customer success and professional services, while Mitch Weaver joins as vice president of software development.

FEATURED PRODUCTS



Offering a dizzying amount of options in a small, vertical space, the Valley People dyna-mite ($599.99) provides limiting, expansion, gating and ducking. Controls include detection circuit choices for average or peak operation. Other controls include Threshold (-40 to +20), Release (50 ms to 5 seconds), Range (0dB to -60dB) and Output, (-15dBv to +15dBv.) It also has an 8-LED gain reduction meter, clipping LED, switches for Gate/Peak/Avg operation, as well as Limit/Exp and bypass. The Int/FM/ds/Ext switch allows the user to source the signal fed to the detector from input to output, through an internal EQ (6dB/ octave boost above 2 kHz), and from an external source (sidechain).



Building upon the company's TG2 preamp/DI, the new TG2-500, in the company's 500 Series module form factor, offers the sound of the EMI TG12428 preamp used in EMI/Abbey Road recording and mastering consoles in the late '60s and early '70s.



This new collection provides access to 30 previously released (and since discontinued) legacy products from the EastWest vault, all of which were re-engineered and reprogrammed to work in the company's PLAY software.
