Tascam announces the release of its new HD-R1 Solid State Recorder. It's a two-track recorder that stores audio on flash media. The rack-mountable unit is expected to hit shelves later this summer.
We like tinkering with controllers for workstations, and a well regarded device is the Frontier DesignAlpha Track. It's compact size leaves a small desktop footprint and its control surfaces are sturdy and well placed.
The touch-sensitive shuttle/jog surface is very handy, indeed.
