RØDE enters new territory with the AI-1 audio interface

RODE has created a new interface for those wishing to record their music and it offers AI. The AI-1 audio interface provides the ability to plug in a guitar, microphone or other inline synthesizer. Being able to this the user can also plug in a set of headphones and not only listen while recording but the ability to use a playback feature to hear the recording through the headphones being used. This device has been aimed at home recording artists to make their experience more enjoyable many would say.

Key Takeaways:

  • The AI-1 is the company’s first foray into the universe of USB audio interfaces
  • With a Neutrik combo jack and Class-A preamp, it is aimed at the home recorder with connections for mic and line-level instruments
  • The AI-1 kit also includes a copy of Ableton Live Lite for a limited time

“The AI-1 offers zero-latency playback by enabling a direct monitoring feature and playback via headphones/speakers.”

Let’s go back to the basics, what is distribution? It is an act of sharing something to a number of recipients. It is the process of supplying goods when you refer to it as a business. And when you talk about music distribution we are talking both.
You want people to access your music period.

Gear Of The Year 2017 – The Best Software Effect/Utility

by Leave a Comment

iZotope RX6 is selected as Musictech.net’s Gear of the Year 2017 in the “software effect utility” category. RX6 was chosen for its ability to sort out any manner of audio problem, including removing distortions, reverb, and clicks.

The advanced edition of RX6 can fix rustles, wind, and isolate dialogue. Eventide Fission is a strong runner up in it’s ability to separate sound into two parts called Transient and Tonal. That ability coupled with the large selection of presets makes Fission great for any type of creative audio mastering.

Key Takeaways:

    • There are some great new software effect/utility products available this holiday season with a few real stand-outs and must-haves.
    • iZotope RX6 audio-editing software is brilliant in that it can solve almost all of your audio challenges and it can even get rid of complex challenges like excessive reverb.
  • Check out Eventide Fission software, which can divide just about any sound into transient and tonal parts, then recombine them for a totally new sound.

“It specialises in removing distortions and clicks, but can now even get rid of more advanced issues such as excessive reverb.”
