With three virtual synth engines and numerous sliders, buttons and knobs, the Gaia SH-01 Virtual Analog Synthesizer puts the fun back into musical effects and sound programming.

The Duet FireWire audio interface brings Apogee high-quality converters to the Mac platform in a sleek, portable form factor.

The ONE USB audio interface brings Apogee quality sound and a built-in condenser mic to the Mac platform, at a great price point. The ONE is a great solution for home or project studios, or for portable recording applications.  

The Rode VideoMic Pro Shotgun microphone delivers quality sound in a compact size that's a great fit for HDSLR users. In addition, the mic's +20dB option can render less noise in HDSLR shooters' audio recordings, if their camera has manual audio control.

There’s never been a better time to buy a new notebook computer. That’s because the latest notebook computers offer more value than ever, and they come in colors and sizes that will please any needs and desires.

The Panasonic Lumix DMC FX-75 has a 14MP CCD sensor and an F/2.2 Leica Summicron lens with a 5x Zoom, for an equivalent 24-120mm lens. Because the FX-75 features such a bright and fast Leica lens, F/2.2 is almost two stops faster than most of the point and shoots—so you know this camera was designed to shoot with available light.

The PX-3 combines authentic hammer-action keyboard feel and solid sounds in a stage piano. Loaded with features you’d usually find in more expensive digital stage pianos, it’s a great value.
