No Comments on Tracking Acoustic Guitars w/ Avid Control

The free Avid Control app for iOS, Android and Fire OS gives you incredible digital audio workstation (DAW) functionality right at your fingertips, as well as flexibility and mobility in the studio. It’s like a remote control on steroids… an advanced mobile control surface. All you need is Wi-Fi, and the free EUCON control surface protocol application running on your studio computer. Avid Control (formerly known as Pro Tools | Control) works not only with Pro Tools®, but also with Media Composer, Logic Pro X, Cubase, Nuendo, and more.

No Comments on “Wiener Fiakerlied” Polyphon Music Box Disc

Another post trying out the new Zora iOS app… this is a photograph NFT of a sheet metal mechanical music box disc I own, made in late 19th/early 20th century by Polyphon Musikwerke company in Leipzig, Germany. It plays “Wiener Fiakerlied” (“Viennese Coachman’s Song”) by Gustav Pick, published in 1885. Polyphon Musikwerke was the early precursor to the Polydor and Deutsche Grammophon record labels.
