Ian will talk about G-Tech's history and why G-Tech is a better storage bet as well as some recent customer configurations for shared storge solutions.
Mark Altekruse: Abaltat's Muse soundtrack composer Abaltat
Traditionally, video editors in search of a soundtrack have had
various options such as original composition, commercial music, music
loops or library music. Abaltat Muse™ is a video-driven soundtrack
composer. This is not a search engine with a large database of library
music or music loops. Abaltat Muse™ composes and arranges a
soundtrack.
Simply drop a Quicktime file into Abaltat Muse, the software will
compose a soundtrack using your selected parameters such as tempo
and style.
Once the composition is complete, which takes a matter of seconds,
you can then proceed with making the arrangement. The user interface
has all the features you would expect with any professional editing
package.
With 5 tracks composed, you can choose not only when and where you
want to hear those tracks played but also, what instruments you want
played.
Abaltat has joined with two of the leaders in the audio sample production
business, Native Instruments and Garritan Libraries, ensuring the
highest standard of audio and authentic instrumentation with a natural
live feel.
Finished compositions can be exported as .AIFF, .WAV, as a mixed
track, individual tracks or as MIDI.
