SSL Duende Win A Free SSL Duende! Ryan Smith Press Release And Pic Free Soft Synth - KeyToSound REMEDY Digidesign Announces Upcoming ProTools Compatibility With Apple's New Mac Pro Crysonic VSTs

Featured Performance: Dave Criddle, the new co-host over at the Home Recording Odyssey, has submitted a song for our, and your critique. It's a guitar-heavy track by Dave's band Leisure called Back To America. The guitars were all done with the original Pod and the drums were recorded in his drum room, aka his unfinished basement. He uses Cubase and a Rode NT2 and some AKG C1000's to record mostly. Check out their web site: LeisureBand.com Viewer Mail:
