Did you get any new gear for the new year? The kind folks over at TMRZoo.Com did, in the way of an AudioBox 22VSL, and subsequently smothered us with their particular brand of digital flattery.
Interested in the full review? Of course you are, click here.

When the Levee Breaks, the AudioBox Doesn’t.
December 28,2011
We, and our advocates, make a lotta to-do about the audio quality inherent in our products. After all, every weensy component choice in the guts of our gear begets some sonic consequence, so such engineering decisions are not made lightly. Serious business. We’re proud.
But look-see. Fact is that aural clarity is not all we have going for us. Until we produced the video linked below, I feel that the straight-up toughness of our brand may have gone a bit understated. Yeah, an AudioBox is all pretty-boy brushed chrome with azure-blue mascara. But when we let a rajun cajun take a shot at curbstomping the ol’ AudioBox USB, he couldn’t put a ding in it. And when he failed, we let Optimus Prime have a stab at it to similar (lack of) effect.
SPOILER ALERT:
The AudioBox USB still worked great after all this.
Depiction of such misuse should not be construed as advocacy. BUTOMGIT’SSOFUN

PreSonus StudioLive controlled by Apple iPad at The Scala, London
December 21,2011
At PreSonus, we believe in finding the right person for the job, which is why we leave it to Rodney Orpheus to blow minds. That’s what he’s paid to do, after all, but “mind-blower” isn’t the most flattering title to have on a business card, so we call him a “Technology Evangelist.” I would prefer to call him a “Cyber-Paladin,” but doing so would place me just to the left of my jurisdiction, and just to the right of Rodney’s favor.
So here he is, evangelizing our technology in the best worms-eye-view, hands-on, golly-it’s-really-that-easy demonstration of StudioLive Remote on the iPad that I’ve ever seen. Rodney gallantly sojourns across The Scala, effortlessly slaying a 330Hz resonance dragon with one hand, while stoically rescuing the bassist’s monitor mix with the other. Raise a glass of Romulan grog, for the hero has restored order to the kingdom!

Edwin McCain’s isn’t a guy who’s on the road, Edwin McCain is a guy who is from the road. He’s a 100-shows-in-100-days sort, yet he has somehow has managed to write, record, and release a full-length album every couple of years—for the past 20. The guy knows what he’s doing.
It speaks well of us, then, that Edwin chooses to use not-one-but-two PreSonus StudioLive 24.4.2 mixers on the road, for monitor and FOH. At every show. Each show gets a multi-track recording, because hey, why not? I mean, the mics are already plugged in and everything. Hit REC on Capture.
I’ll let Edwin and his crew explain in their own words. Listen closely for a clever tech tip or two…

Flattering FaderPort Review…
December 13,2011
Digital Recording Arts was kind enough to drive a FaderPort around the block a few times and post the results of their road test. The verdict? They like it, and so do we. Hope I didn’t ruin the ending. Fader automation is a high-endy feature that oft doesn’t come inexpensively… but we got that covered.
I like the FaderPort for its small-footprint and surprising ergonomics. After a half-hour of use I found myself having memorized button functions for both transport and Window controls. I very quickly found that I didn’t even need to look at the FaderPort to use it.
But hey, this isn’t about MY review. It’s about Digital Recording Arts’ opinion, which can be found after the jump. Their favorite feature of the FaderPort? “My favorite feature on the Faderport… is the punch button, allowing the user to toggle punch recording in the DAW. The unit has a single footswitch input, giving self-recording artists the ability to punch in hands-free.”

B&H Means “Boastworthy, and How”
December 6,2011
B&H is making Paul and my jobs a little easy by doing great work for us! Rob Rives of B&H takes us on an in-depth tour of the entire AudioBox line, including hardcore gearnographic I/O closeups, and audio demos of the Fat Channel audio processing that defines the AudioBox VSL series’ particular brand of kick-assedness.
Rob’s run-through is so thorough and accurate that I half expected him to just unveil a schematic and start giving away all our sonic circuit secrets. He stops just shy of this, but I’m still a little suspicious. He seems like a Man Who Knows Too Much. I’m going to go talk to HR and see if this guy used to work for us or something.

GarageBand Owners Eligible for Crossgrade Discount!
December 5,2011
A great question came in via Twitter this morning, and I thought the answer was worth sharing with everyone. I was asked how GarageBand owners should demonstrate proof-of-purchase in order to qualify for our Studio One Crossgrade offer, as GarageBand is often bundled with a Mac upon purchase.
The answer is to take a screenshot of your registered applications list including GarageBand, and send it to us. In case you don’t know where to find this information, (its in the system profiler, and who ever needs to mess around in there?) I’ve taken the liberty of assembling this handy li’l guide. Click to embiggen any screenshots.
1. Click “About This Mac” from the Apple Menu.
2. In the dialogue that pops up, click “More Info…” The System Profiler will appear.
3. In the left column, scroll down to “Applications,” under “Software.” Click here.
4. In the main System Profiler window, scroll down until you find “GarageBand.”
5. Press Command+Shift+3 (all at once) to take a screenshot. It will be saved to your desktop.
6. Send this screenshot to crossgrade@PreSonus.com to qualify for your discount, and we’ll send you a coupon allowing you to purchase Studio One Professional 2 for $299 USD!
