Apple MacBook Pro/Pro Tools Recording Package

This incredible package bundles recording equipment from two of the most popular names in modern music-making technology together—Apple and Pro Tools—and throws in some extras for an even sweeter deal. Not only do you get a fully-loaded 15.4" MacBook Pro notebook computer with a 2.53GHz Intel Core Duo processor and Pro Tools M-Powered 8 DAW software, but you also get a pair of KRK Rockit Powered 5 Gen 2 powered studio monitors, an M-Audio MobilePre USB audio interface, and 2 Live Wire Advantage Series 1/4" straight instrument cables (10" each). This recording equipment is all you need for a great home studio that is also portable.MacBook Pro 15.4" Notebook Computer Carved from a single block of aluminum, the MacBook Pro 15.4" 2.53Ghz computer is a true engineering achievement. Its unibody enclosure is the product of precise machining. From the thumbscoop to the now-you-see-it-now-you-don't sleep indicator light, no detail is unaccounted for. The end result is a notebook that's not only breakthrough, but thin, light, polished, and refined. The unibody also makes MacBook Pro laptop more durable than ever. So you can throw it in your briefcase or messenger bag and pull it out at an airport, at school, at the office, or on location without a second thought.The longest-lasting Mac notebook battery ever Built right into each of this generation of MacBook Pro notebooks is a breakthrough battery that lasts dramatically longer and does so without increasing the size or weight of your MacBook Pro. On a single charge, the battery lasts up to 7 hours and can be recharged up to 1000 times. That's compared with only 200 to 300 times for typical notebooks. Advanced chemistry and Adaptive Charging allows the battery to maintain charging capabilities longer and determines the optimal way to charge the battery's cells. Because the battery lasts up to five years, MacBook Pro uses just one battery in the same time a typical notebook uses three. That makes for less waste. And that, in turn, makes for one environmentally friendly battery.Graphics in full force The Apple MacBook Pro reaches a new level of high-speed, high-end game-playing power. Not to mention pure performance for graphics-intensive applications like Aperture and Motion. The power-saving NVIDIA GeForce 9400M integrated graphics processor inside every MacBook Pro is great for everyday performance, while delivering long battery life.A display of brilliance The moment you open your new MacBook Pro you're greeted by glorious, full-screen brightness. But that's only one gleaming quality of the glossy LED-backlit widescreen display. It offers a 60 percent greater color gamut than previous generations for richer, more vibrant colors. Anything you view—including the ultrathin display itself—is a spectacular experience. The seamless glass enclosure makes this display strong and durable. And the display is power efficient and mercury- and a

Steinberg FireWire Interface, Cubase 5, and Cubase Controller Recording Package 3

Steinberg's recording equipment package 3 features two pieces of hardware especially for Cubase by Steinberg and Yamaha, and precision-manufactured by Yamaha to the most exacting standards. the MR816 CSX FireWire Interface and the CC121 Advanced Integration Controller. The recording gear pack also comes with Cubase 5 software to provide you an all-round system solution for excellent flexibility and power next time you're ready to record and produce your own music.MR816CSX FireWire Interface The Steinberg MR816CSX is a FireWire interface designed by Steinberg and Yamaha to deliver unprecedented integration with Cubase. The Steinberg MR816CSX fuses a fully featured FireWire interface and built-in DSP for breathtaking power. This Advanced Integration DSP Studio is the hardware centerpiece for latency-free recording and monitoring that fully exploits the flexibility and power of Steinberg's renowned Cubase Music Production System.The MR816CSX Firewire Interface offers a full range of audio I/O options, onboard DSP, and renowned REV-X reverb. It houses 8 discrete Class A analog D-Pre mic preamps with combination XLR and TRS analog inputs, advanced inverted Darlington circuits, switchable phantom power per channel, and digital ADAT and S/PDIF I/O. The Steinberg MR816CSX interface also offers the Sweet Spot Morphing Channel Strip Plug-in, with DSP effects available as a VST3 plug-in in Cubase. The MR816CSX FireWire interface works with Mac OS X, Windows XP, and Windows Vista.Read the complete story on the full-featured Steinberg FireWire Interface:True Integrated Monitoring Offering real-time, independent and most importantly no-latency mixes with FX for several performers is an engineering challenge in itself, and there are only one or two FireWire I/O interfaces on the market that can achieve this. Even these units are functionally isolated from the DAW software forcing the user to use additional mixing applications, in turn hampering workflow and splintering what should be a truly integrated production system. The answer? Cubase and MR816 CSX. A solution defined by its ease-of-use, flexibility, and pure functional elegance. Running with Cubase, MR816 CSX removes any need for additional mixing software between DAW and I/O. All aspects of I/O handling, DSP management, and independent performer mixes are handled directly from within Cubase itself. With Cubase, these performer mixes are realized using the Studio Sends in the Control Room—a unique system that is completely integrated into the Cubase mixer. With the unique True Integrated Monitoring technology, Cubase manages all audio streams with perfect sync. No-latency mixes for performers with DSP FX are managed side-by-side with mixes played back through the Cubase audio engine that combine hard disk audio data and live streams being recorded at the same time—all within Cubase music software. Combined with other unique features, True Integrated Monitoring allows a highly effic
