\\n\\nCrosstalk:
\\n\\nLast week we got a nice mention on Inside Home Recording with Paul Garay and Derek K. Miller. We look forward to doing some things with them in the future!

\\n\\nPianoTEQ has posted our review on there web site. The new Mac Intel version is already available ahead of schedule.

\\n\\nWhat\\u2019s up with lava lamps in control rooms?

\\n\\nGear Review:

\\n\\nThe Yamaha Tyros 2 Keyboard Arranger/Workstation

\\n\\nThe Stupid Knob:
\\nUniversal Music Group, the world\\u2019s largest record company, contends the wildly popular Web sites YouTube and MySpace are violating copyright laws by allowing users to post music videos and other content involving Universal artists.

\\n\\n\\u201cWe believe these new businesses are copyright infringers and owe us tens of millions of dollars,? Universal Music CEO Doug Morris told investors Wednesday at a conference in Pasadena. \\u201cHow we deal with these companies will be revealed shortly.?

\\n\\nPffffffffffffffffffffffft!

\\n\\nViewer Mail:

\\nA Freebie From Suzie DeCree:

\\n\\nThe Delay Lama is the first VST instrument to offer both vocal synthesis and a real-time animated 3D interface. Its advanced monophonic vocal synthesis engine enables your computer to sound just like an Eastern monk, with real-time, high resolution control over the vowel sound. What\'s more, the plug-in window displays a 3D animation of a singing monk, that reacts directly to your input!

\\n\\n\\nAnswer To Last Week\'s Trivia Question:
\\nQ: You\'re probably familiar with the 1957 holiday classic Jingle Bell Rock by Bobby Helms. What was on the flip side of that record?

\\n\\nA: Captain Santa Claus And His Reindeer Space Patrol!

\\n\\nTrue to his name, Dave Swift was the first one with the right answer. He wins a copy of Guitar and Drum Trainer courtesy of Ryan Smith over at RenegadeMinds.com.

\\n\\nThere was a bit of a snafu we came across for the first time this week. Dave had already won a copy of Guitar and Drum Trainer in a previous contest. Till now, we haven\'t had any rules about winning multiple contests for the same prize. So to be fair we\'ve also awarded a prize to the second person to answer correctly, and that\'s Dave "SpoonZ" Spooner from down under. Congratulations Dave!

\\n\\nAlso coming in with the correct answer this week but just a little late was Patrick Abbas, Andy Bullock, Ben Brasile and Grae Smart. Way to go!

\\n\\nSee you next week!
