audioXpress December 2014 Is Available Online

The December 2014 issue of audioXpress signals the start of a new fascinating article series by Ron Tipton, which traces the evolution from mono to present-day binaural recording with practical experiments and examples. We review Universal Audio’s Apollo Twin Thunderbolt-based audio interface and conclude George Adamidis’ “Build Your Own Audio Mixer” project and discuss “Correct Tube Amplification for Headphones Operation.”

Shipping early October and compatible with Thunderbolt-equipped Macs, new Universal Audio’s Satellite QUAD and OCTO DSP accelerators offer improved performance at higher sample rates and reduced plug-in latency versus FireWire. Also available are the UAD-2 OCTO PCIe Ultimate 3 cards with dozens of UA-developed UAD Powered Plug-Ins.

Universal Audio announced the release of its new Thermionic Culture Vulture Plug-In for the UAD Powered Plug-Ins platform and Apollo audio interfaces. This is a circuit emulation of the legendary British-made Thermionic Culture“all-valve” boutique distortion hardware. Uncanny!
