PMI AUDIO Purchases TONELUX!

With great excitement, I am happy to announce that Tonelux Designs, Limited has been sold to PMI Audio as of the 15th of March.  As President of Tonelux, I have been designing, building and supplying the world with Tonelux products for 5 years, and I have reached a point where Tonelux and it’s family has grown beyond my capabilities to manage properly as a small business.

I have known Alan Hyatt, the President and founder of PMI Audio for many years, and we have chatted many times about working together to grow Tonelux, and we finally sat down and had a serious discussion about growing it and came to a mutual conclusion that my talents would be better served designing, inventing and realizing the dream I had of Tonelux, and the leadership, management and ability of Alan’s organization to grow Tonelux in a way that would increase availability, service, customer relations and consistency through his proven ability to run a professional company properly and with the love of the industry that we both share for professional audio.   Alan, over the years has proven to everyone that he is a man of his word and has the highest respect for the industry, and does not take his successes lightly.  I have found him to be one of the most straight up people I know, an opinion shared by everyone I have spoken with over the years.

I doubt you will see much change as far as the message of Tonelux, its design criteria, quality, tone, look, or prices.  What you will see is instant availability, fast service, un-paralleled support and the ability to develop new products faster, many of which I have been promising for months and years.  I am really happy with this, and together we both promise to all of you that it will only get better.

Notion Music veröffentlicht Notion SLE, eine spezielle Version der Notion3-Software speziell für die Vienna Symphonic Library, Special Edition und die Special Edition PLUS. Notion SLE beinhaltet Presets für Vienna Instruments, Vienna Ensemble und Vienna Ensemble PRO welches automatisch alle Artikulationswechsel im Hintergrund berechnet und so zu einem realistischeren Playback führen soll.

I have no experience with neither the Vienna software, nor Notion, so I’ll just let the press release do the talking.

From the Vienna Symphonic Library press release:

NOTION SLE offers over 100 presets for all instruments and ensembles included in both Vienna Special Edition collections. As the user writes and articulates his score, NOTION SLE will follow the instructions and automatically change the Vienna Instruments patches in playback to accurately and realistically perform the score. Dynamics, hairpins, articulations and even portamentos will faithfully be reproduced in playback. NOTION SLE comes with a demo version of Vienna Suite, Vienna Symphonic Library’s high-end audio processing tools that include Convolution Reverb, featuring several concert halls and studios.

The Vienna Special Edition and the Special Edition PLUS are Vienna Symphonic Library’s powerful orchestral packages at entry-level prices. They offer a cross-section of sounds from Vienna’s 1.5 million sample archive, covering all instruments and ensembles of the large symphonic orchestra and even more.

Price is $89.

From the Toontrack press release:

Featuring 6 full drum kits, 6 kick drums and 6 snares the Evil Drums Expansion Pack is unlike any other expansion pack available. Recorded to analog tape at two legendary rock studios using compression and EQ, Joe Barresi has captured a diverse ensemble of drum sounds with unprecedented detail and full bleed to create a unique and exquisitely evil expansion pack. Evil Drums also includes MIDI grooves performed by Pat Wilson (Weezer, The Special Goodness).

While Joe Barressi’s Evil Drums are the first third-party library to be released for Superior Drummer 2.0, it’s not exactly a brand new product, Evil Drums has been available for BFD for quite some time now.

Joe Barresi should know his “evil drums”. His credits include Tool, Wolfmother, Queens Of The Stone Age, Weezer, Clutch, Pennywise, Turbonegro, Bad Religion, and more.
