appreciate the rich editing tools — including support for asymmetric trimming —
and customization features such as fully customizable keyboards and workspace
layouts. RT Extreme, a sophisticated multi-stream real-time architecture , sup-
ports an increased number of video streams and effects. Multi-track audio mixing,
multi-channel output and real-time audio effects enhance NLE-based audio edit-
ing. FCP4 includes two additional creative tools: LiveType, a broadcast-quality
title generator, and Soundtrack, an intuitive tool for creating musical scores.
Uncompromising image quality, sample-accurate A/V synchronization and cor-
rective finishing tools make FCP4 ideal for SD and HD broadcast applications.

XML interchange format —a new, standards-based composition and metadata interchange format, bridges the gap between
disparate edit systems and customized post-production workflows. XML interchange format, AAF support and the ubiquity
of QuickTime across professional applications give FCP4 the flexibility to fit into any production pipeline. Enhanced EDL
support and FXScript — a visual effects scripting language — make Final Cut Pro 4 the most extensible NLE available.

Sophisticated Editing, Compositing and Effects

Final Cut Pro 4 has sophisticated editing, compositing, effects, and audio tools that allow professional editors to meet

needs. Apple-designed menu templates let you create DVDs quickly. And you can
instantly view tracks, assets and menus, so you can see how your project looks and oper-

tionality, create multiple language DVDs and include DVD-ROM data in your project.
Includes a world-class MPEG-2 encoder that generates stunning video at lower bit
rates, allowing you to maximize the length of video on a DVD without compromising
quality. For more control, two powerful encoding utilities are included: Compressor
provides customization and correction of compression files in real time and lets you
batch process to MPEG-2 for DVD and MPEG-4 for web streaming. A.Pack encodes uncompressed audio into highly com-
pressed Dolby digital AC-3 streams, which can then be used for full 5.1-channel surround sound.

Three different workspaces to give you maximum flexibility

The Basic configuration enables you to quickly build a DVD, using styles and templates which you can modify. If you’re tack-
ling a more elaborate project, the Extended configuration adds an intuitive workflow with a timeline, Asset bin and Inspector.
The Advanced configuration provides a complete set of professional features, exposing the full power of DVD Studio Pro. You
can even build your own workspace configurations to fit your particular workflow.

Everything you need to start building DVDs right away can be found in the Basic configuration . With the help of Apple-designed templates and styles,
you can quickly build menus, add assets and interactivity by simply dragging and dropping edited video, audio and graphics from the palette. There is
no need for a separate graphics application to design menus and buttons for your DVD project, but you can if you want to. Ideal configuration if you

graphics and effects, allowing you to instantly preview menus. And when it comes time to
build your project, it will automatically composite your new buttons over motion menus,
eliminating the need to do the work in other programs.
◆ Includes drop zones that allow you to add graphic elements to a menu background. Add
photos, graphics or movies – rotated, positioned and sized – and you can use shapes to
provide irregular edges and borders. With drop zones, you can transform a simple back-

About USB and Firewire
Offering excellent plug-and-play mobility compared to PCI, the USB and Firewire protocols each have their own inherent bandwidth that
dictates how much audio it can transfer. Where PCI handles 132MB/sec., Firewire delivers 30MB/sec and USB 1.5MB/sec. Greater bandwidths
allow you to record more tracks simultaneously than do lower bandwidths. USB meets the the needs of the majority of users who tend to
record one or two tracks at a time. Supplied driver control panel allows you to manage bandwidth according to the needs of each project.

UC-33e
Advanced USB MIDI Control Surface
VIDEO & AUDIO EDITING

The UC-33e is the affordable, easy-to-use remote USB controller for any
computer music system or MIDI setup. It allows instant and simultaneous
control of up to 47 different parameters—and with 33 memory locations,
changing setups is fast and easy. The powerful Snapshot feature
instantly makes all controllers live for real-time, on-the-fly editing, and
the unique Control Mute function mutes the output of all controllers,
allowing you to position them before tweaking, thereby preventing
parameters such as filter cut-off or amplitude levels from jumping abruptly during
performance. The UC-33e also features a drawbar mode for the sliders, which greatly enhances
the experience of playing virtual instruments such as Native Instruments’ B4 virtual Hammond organ. Use the UC-33e
with a conventional MIDI setup, or as a remote control for your existing studio rack. 30 pre-configured presets allow imme-
diate control of the most popular virtual instruments and host applications like Reason, Live, Logic, Cubase SX, Native
Instrument’s B4 and more. Also includes 5 color overlays for the front panel customized for programs such as Ableton Live,
Pro-53, B4 and a general Mixer Channel Strip plus a blank which users can tailor to their personal setup needs.

LOGIC PRO 6
Computer-based Music Production
VIDEO & AUDIO EDITING

The most widely used program of its kind in professional music production, Logic Pro 6
elegantly combines composition, notation and audio production facilities, as well as
renown virtual instruments and effects, all in one complete package. Logic Pro 6
combines all of the attributes required to form the ultimate music and audio
production software for your Mac. It offers intuitive control, a freely configurable user
interface and has an envious reputation for its reliability. An all-in-one solution for
music composition, audio recording, multimedia, sound generation, movie scoring and
remixing Logic Pro 6’s comprehensive set of music creation tools include rock-solid
MIDI timing and synchronization, mixing and automation with total recall, as well as
non-destructive editing of both audio and MIDI in real time. It also offers superb
MIDI timing with 960 PPQN and sends and receives synchronized MIDI clock, MTC,
MMC and word clock signals, making it ideal for film, TV and video post-production facilities.
Whether it be comprehensive surround sound, to near publishing quality score generation, to infinitesimal MIDI
manipulation, to the integration of hardware interfaces for both audio and MIDI, Logic Pro 6 delivers and more. It is
bundled with nine software sound generators, including the EXS24 mk II virtual sampler, and the EVD6, EVB3 and EVP88
260

vintage sound modules. It offers five synthesizer modules, and includes Space Designer, a high-end reverb plug-in.

Audio & MIDI

Logic Pro 6 provides countless features for the seamless processing of Audio and MIDI data in a single application.
Powerful editors and the Arrange window allow extensive manipulation of sound and MIDI data. The entire
premise behind Logic Pro 6 is built around the demands of professional users for optimum workflow in the studio.
This approach allows you the freedom to concentrate on the creative part of the job - the music!
The Arrange Window: The center of your musical ideas
The Arrange window - or simply Arrange - provides you with a number of
graphical objects that can be rearranged and edited in a number of ways to
form a song in Logic Pro 6. Audio recordings and MIDI keyboard performances
are captured and displayed in a linear fashion, vertically divided into tracks. You
can even incorporate thumbnails of a QuickTime movie in this track view as
well, when scoring a movie, TV show or perhaps an advertisement.
Beyond the rearrangement of graphical audio and MIDI objects, numerous
editing possibilities are available in the Arrange. Time Stretching, for example,
allows the length of an audio object to be quickly and easily adjusted to match
a chosen number of bars - without affecting the pitch of your audio. The
Marquee Tool assists in selection of specific portions of your graphical audio
and MIDI objects, allowing precise move, copy, delete or cut edits.
The channel strip of the selected track is displayed on the left of the Arrange.
This facilitates fast access to mixing parameters directly from the Arrange, enabling you to see and graphically edit parameters of the
mixer, internal effect plug-ins and software instruments as well as those of external MIDI devices.
Freely customize the way the Arrange is displayed by selecting different zoom levels for each track plus several other visual options. This
flexibility lets you create a central interface for your projects, offering an optimized overview that precisely matches your individual
needs. This, put simply, accelerates your workflow in Logic Pro 6.

Sound Generation
VIDEO & AUDIO EDITING

One of the aspects that makes Logic Pro 6 a unique music and audio production system is the comprehensive collection of software
instruments that it includes. All of the instruments offer the same level of pristine sound quality, achieved through the use of 32-bit
internal processing. The utilization of modern technologies, such as component modeling algorithms, are the basis for calculating the
most complex of sounds - in real time!
A delightful side-effect of this uncompromising stance towards the technology is the brilliant responsiveness of the instruments, with
even the smallest nuances in playing style being reflected sonically. The exclusive selection of instruments offered by Logic Pro 6
features; a software sampler, synthesizer and virtual counterparts of vintage keyboards, including the Hammond B3 Organ and
Hohner D6 Clavinet. The seamless integration of these instruments into Logic Pro 6 guarantees optimal handling and processing, no
matter where you wish to use the system - on stage or in the studio. You can even use it while travelling - on your PowerBook!
The instruments are easily inserted into an audio instrument channel strip of the Logic Mixer. The integrated track-based
automation system of Logic Pro 6 allows you to graphically display and edit the parameters of the instruments, and if you have a
hardware controller, these parameters can be adjusted and recorded as well.

Sound Processing
VIDEO & AUDIO EDITING

Given the dramatic increase in computer processing over the past few years, the potential - and reality - of digital sound processing has devel-
oped at a staggering rate. This “native” sound processing - calculated directly on the computer processor(s) - substitutes the use of external
DSP’s (Digital Signal Processors) and effect devices. Logic Pro 6 delivers over 50 realtime effect plug-ins, allowing for the most innovative
audio processing. The basic technical specifications - 32-bit floating point mathematics and support of audio resolutions up to 24-bit/192
kHz - ensure uncompromising sound quality.
The included plug-ins are precision tools for sound processing. offering a straight forward interface that enables the user to conceptualize and
realize any sound design visions with the minimum of fuss. The intuitive, ergonomic interface and professionally-oriented feature set of the
plug-ins is the result of the Emagic’s extensive studio experience and the active exchange of knowledge with countless users. A multitude of
forward looking functions have been implemented, with many going far beyond the feature sets and ideas of traditional plug-in concepts.
In addition to the built-in effect system, Digidesign’s TDM system for ProTools hardware is completely supported, including surround.
Depending on the configuration, up to 64 audio tracks and 64 busses are available. TDM plug-ins from all major developers can be used and

digital audio and MIDI data in a totally integrated, creative environment. It features
dozens of real-time DSP-effects with easy to use graphical controls, complete
automation and supports multiple processor computers. Extensive audio file editing is
also included, from the usual cut, paste and copy tools to MOTU’s PureDSP functions,
providing independent control over the duration and pitch of audio files with
exceptional sound quality. This allows for tempo-conforming drum loops, adding vocal
harmonies or even gender-bending vocal tracks. Digital Performer’s award-winning
multitrack sequencer design, combined with non-destructive digital audio editing
capabilities, provide you with unprecedented flexibility and control over the audio you create. And now, version 4 takes full
advantage of OS X’s MIDI and audio services, providing 100% compatibility and inter operability with OS X and all

EVENT ELECTRONICS TR5/TR8
Tuned Reference Bi-amplified Direct Field Monitor Systems
VIDEO & AUDIO EDITING

Like their names intimate, the TR (Tuned Reference) 5 and 8 monitors are precision tuned
to provide flat frequency response and uncolored sound, giving you a true sonic reference
for mixing. So when you mix on a Tuned Reference monitor, you
know your mixes will translate accurately to other playback systems.
However, you might think that this level of mix precision comes at a
high price. But thanks to a powerful new ultra-efficient amplifier
(actually two of them, since these are biamplified systems), they are
able to bring you high definition,
non-fatiguing monitoring at prices so low they’re downright silly. But
don’t let the cost fool you: The TR series monitors are filled with
time-tested Event technology, and designed by the same engineering
team behind their full line of critically-acclaimed monitors.

S·5 Active Studio Monitor

The Tapco S·5 is a compact, bi-amplified monitor that features
dual high-precision internal amplifiers providing a total of 120
watts RMS (60 watts for the woofer and 60 watts for the
tweeter). A 5.25˝ woofer delivers punchy bass output and
extremely detailed midrange, while a 1˝ waveguide-loaded silk
dome tweeter provides smooth, non-fatiguing high end. Rear
panel controls on the S·5 allow for acoustic tailoring with
low-frequency boost and high frequency cut/boost switches.
Inputs include 1/4˝ TRS/XLR balanced and RCA unbalanced.

MACKIE HR624/HR824
6.7˝ and 8.75˝ 2-Way Active Near-Field Monitors

VIDEO & AUDIO EDITING

One of the most accurate near-field monitors ever built, thousands of recording studios and
post-production facilities rely on the HR824 to reveal details that comparable monitors sim-
ply cannot resolve. Frequency response is an astonishing 38Hz to 20kHz ±1.5dB. To achieve
such a sweet spot and smooth response, the HR824 uses technology
not found in typical vented-box near field monitors. A cast zinc
exponential waveguide disperses
sound evenly and integrates the output of the HF and LF
drivers. Its servo-coupled LF transducer works in conjunction
with a rear-firing passive transducer to extend low octaves and
eliminate vent noise. The HR824 uses two separate high-current
amplifiers with discrete circuitry. And it is fully stuffed with dense
foam to fully damp internal vibrations before they can escape
through the LF transducer.
Employing the same acoustic technology as the HR824, but in a
compact version, the HR624 is deal for rear surround sound

space is at a premium. When using the HR624 as the primary monitor in project rooms or off-line editing suites, mixes will
flawlessly transfer to an “A” room that employs HR824’s. The HR624 is flat ±1dB from 55Hz to 20kHz.

M-AUDIO BX5/BX8
Reference Monitors
VIDEO & AUDIO EDITING

The latest in the popular Studiophile series , the BX5 and BX8 deliver exceptional qual-
ity and professional sound. They offer 5.25˝ (BX5) and 8˝ low-frequency drivers
(BX8), 1˝ high-frequency drivers, and 75 or 130 watts of bi-amped near-field tech-
nology at a fraction of the cost of other monitors of this quality. The 1˝ natural silk
high-frequency drivers employ a flush design and electronic time alignment with the
low-frequency driver, resulting in controlled dispersion for superior three-dimension-
al imaging. The tooled rear Sub-Frequency Ports reduce low-frequency turbulence
and optimize driver excursion for amazing bass in a small footprint.

Monitors that adapt to your needs

Your monitors should be able to adapt to any changes in placement or work environment. That’s just what the BX5 and BX8 do. Since a
monitor’s bass response can change depending upon proximity to walls, their Acoustic Space control
section allows you to optimize their performance—no matter whether you need to put them on stands,

on a bookshelf or in the corners. You can also adjust the high-frequency response to compensate for
reflective surfaces like glass. The presence control gives you an automatic mid-range boost for added
flexibility. There’s even a variable low-frequency roll-off to optimize response at crossover points when adding a subwoofer like the SP-8S.

STUDIOPHILE LX4 SURROUND SOUND SYSTEM

2.1 Monitoring System Easily Expands to 5.1 Surround
Consisting of the Studiophile LX4 2.1 System and Studiophile LX4 5.1 Expander,
together they comprise the Studiophile LX4 Surround Sound System.The
Studiophile LX4 2.1 System offers two satellites and a subwoofer for
high performance 2.1 monitoring. The subwoofer contains the
active crossover matrix for both the 2.1 system and the completely
expanded 5.1 system. The integral 125-watt power amp houses
enough power for the full surround system—60 watts for the
subwoofer and 27 watts for each of the 5 satellites in the full LX4
Surround Sound System. The ported design of the subwoofer
cabinet combines with the 8˝ woofer for a formidable bass
experience. The passive satellites contain a 4˝ polypropylene woofer and 1˝ mylar high-frequency drivers.
The Studiophile LX4 5.1 Expander is a separate package
comprised of three additional LX4 passive satellites. These
simply connect to the subwoofer of the LX4 2.1 System to
complete the LX4 Surround Sound System. Combined with their
compact size, the passive design of the satellites is also a plus
because many people find it challenging to route AC from the
same circuit all over a room for active surround environments.
