Sbtrkt - Something goes right

2012-01-22T21:07:00.000+01:00

Yeah, Something goes right,
Yeah, something goes right,
Yeah something goes right
and you're hoping that it goes right, that it goes right, that it goes right oh

You wouldn't even know, you wouldn't even care,
you wouldn't even know, you wouldn't even care
I've been there though, I've been there though, I've been there though-oh.

Standing in a dream world, sitting next to you, up in the clouds, up up in the clouds, up up in the clouds
Sitting on the edge, looking down at the earth
Looking up into space, up up into space, up up into space

(Chorus) Is it better to let you go?
Or is it better to let you know?
You should t-t-t-take it, you should t-t-t-take it back

Is it better to let you go?
Or is it better to let you know?
You should t-t-t-take it, you should t-t-t-take it back

I've only got myself self self to blame
Love something thinking things will never change
These feelings probably will still still remain, I was always hurt

& I've been feeling like this most most of my life woah
I've been feeling like things aint gonna change
Things aint gonna get it back?

(chorus)

I keep on having these conversations & p-p-p-praying
I keep on staring at these constellations & p p p praying
and these bitter thoughts that keep on escaping
I wish that they were staying and something would go right and something will go right, go right

Dont you bring me down. Dont you bring me down. Dont you bring me down.

(Chorus)

Yeah, something goes right,
Yeah something goes right
and you're hoping that it goes right, that it goes right, that it goes right oh

You wouldn't even know, you wouldn't even care,
you wouldn't even know, you wouldn't even care
I've been there though, I've been there though, I've been there though-oh.

Standing in a dream world, sitting next to you, up in the clouds, up up in the clouds, up up in the clouds
Sitting on the edge, looking down at the earth
Up into space, up up into space, up up into space

DigiTech iStomp - future of the stompbox

2012-01-22T02:49:00.000+01:00

The iStomp™ works just like every other stompbox. Step on the footswitch to turn it on and off. Adjust the knobs to get the sound you want. The biggest difference between the iStomp and other stompboxes is you can completely change the iStomp to be any pedal in the entire pedal line. Simply connect your iPod touch®, iPhone®, or iPad® to the iStomp and select which pedal you’d like from the DigiTech® Stomp Shop™ App. In about the same time it takes to download a song you can change the iStomp from a distortion to a reverb, a phaser to a tube overdrive, or a delay to a chorus. iStomp includes DigiTech’s Total Recall™ digital delay and Redline™ overdrive to get you started.

Somebody That I Used To Know

2012-01-07T13:57:00.000+01:00

Gotye (feat. Kimbra) and the cover by Walk of the Earth played by 5 people on one guitar !

Now and then I think of when we were together
Like when you said you felt so happy you could die
I told myself that you were right for me,
But felt so lonely in your company
But that was love and it's an ache I still remember

You can get addicted to a certain kind'a sadness
Like resignation to the end, always the end
So when we found that we could not make sense
Well you said that we would still be friends
But I'll admit that I was glad it was over

But you didn't have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing
I don't even need your love, but you treat me like a stranger
And that feels so rough

No, you didn't have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect you records
And then change your number
Guess that I don't need that though
Now you're just somebody that I used to know

Now you're just somebody that I used to know
Now you're just somebody that I used to know

Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over
But had me believin it was always something that I'd done
But I don't wanna' live that way,
reading into every word you say
You said that you could let it go,
and I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know-oh-oh

but you didn't have cut me out
Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing (oh)
I don't even need your love, but you treat me like a stranger
and that feels so rough

(oh)

No, you didn't have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect you records
And then change your number (oh)
Guess that I don't need that though
Now you're just somebody that I used to know

somebody that I used to know
somebody (now your just somebody that I used to know)
that I used to know
somebody that I used to know
somebody (somebody)
that I used to know

I used to know
That I used to know
I used to know
Somebody

iAudioInterface2

2011-10-08T00:16:00.000+02:00

Announcing the all-new iAudioInterface2. Designed from the ground up to work with all of the current Apple iOS products, iAI2 is the perfect companion to AudioTools, and the perfect stereo audio interface for all your iOS apps.

Compatible with iPhone 4, iPod touch 4, and iPad, iAudioInterface has these major features:

* 48V Phantom-powered XLR microphone input, with up to 50dB of gain**

* Balanced line input for transfer function measurements

* Balanced line output for signal generation

* Toslink digital audio output, mirrors line out at full level, also supports Dolby Digital 5.1 AC3 test signals (optional in AudioTools)

* Internal li-ion battery, draws no power from your device

* When charging with the included external adapter, also charges your attached iOS device, including iPad.

* Digital audio link to iOS device for lowest noise, and best quality. Uses our own A/D converters and DAC with precision USB audio clock recovery

iAI2 is the perfect companion for AudioTools, and also works with many iOS audio Apps, including Garageband, Skype, SignalScope, Mulit-Track Recorder, and more. Note that Apple does not support dock mics with the phone app.

Price: $399.99 Available October 2011

Microphone Input

Standard XLR microphone connector.

Switchable 48V phantom power available that meets all specs for voltage and current.

Input gain 0dB to +50dB in 9 preset gain stages, set from within AudioTools.

Equivalent Input Noise (EIN) @+50dB gain -112dBu A-weighted

Microphone appears to iOS app as left input channel.

Digital Audio Output

Optical Toslink PCM digital audio output, sample rate 32k/44.1k/48k, set from iOS device. 16-bit (current iOS maximum).

Supports output of Dolby Digital AC3 Dolby Digital 5.1 test signals, and DTS 6.1 test signals, optional in AudioTools. Requires iOS5.

Line Input

Fully balanced 1/4" TRS line input, appears to iOS app as the right input channel.

May be switched to a stereo unbalanced input.

Three gain ranges, selected from AudioTools

Input Impedance 40k balanced, 20k unbalanced

-80dBU to -10dBu

-60dBu to +15dBu

-40dBu to +40dBu

Line Output

Fully balanced 1/4" TRS mono line output.

Maximum output level +12dBu

Output may be switched to stereo, suitable to drive 32 Ohm headphones.

ADC and D/A Converters

For dock-connector digital audio, the iOS device sets the sample rate and bit depth of the signal. Currently Apple supports 32kHz, 44.1kHz, and 48kHz sample rates, all at a bit depth of 16 bits.

We license a proprietary high-resolution USB clock recovery algorithm that provides a highly stable timebase for our converters. This recovered-clock digital audio signal is presented unaltered at the optical TosLink output. Sample rate converters are never used in our hardware.

iAI2 uses Wolfson stereo codec with a 24-bit multi-bit sigma delta ADC and switched capacitor multi-bit sigma delta DACs, which operates at an oversampling rate of 128fs for both ADC and DAC.

Internal li-ion Battery

Charge time 3 hours.

Run time 4-5 hours depending on usage.

iOS Device Charging

High-current charging designed for iPad, will also fast-charge iPhone 4 and iPod touch 4.

Charger Specifications

Charges with 10V - 18V DC, 5.5mm connector with 2.1mm pin, pin positive. Requires 1.5A min. Ships with 12VDC 1.5A universal AC charger with multiple plug configurations.
