I got this link from @theaudiogeek on Twitter. It’s the official announcement from Avid that they will not exhibit at AES 2009. Avid explains they aren’t about to depart permanently from AES nor other trade shows. They decide not to exhibit only AES 2009.

On Aug 8, 2008 (08/08/08), there was such a great opening ceremony of Olympic games in Beijing, China. What about 09/09/09, what is happening? A few months ago Propellerhead announced Record and promised that Record will be available on 09/09/09. Today I’ve just read the news mention another “big thing” will happen on 09/09/09. It’s from Mackie.

This is a very good blog post by @TheAudioGeek. It’s the Pro Tools tutorial roundup. I wonder how he watched these all resources. By the way, this roundup is useful to choose which to watch to get started on Pro Tools. Thank you Jon.

I’m able to upgrade from Pro Tools LE 7.4.2 to 8.0 with no cost because I bought MBox 2 Mini after October 3rd, 2008. I rarely use Pro Tools so far but I plan to use it more on my mac to get started on sound design. So I decide to download Pro Tools 8.0 LE from Digidesign yesterday.

I got Digidesign MBox 2 mini more than 6 months ago. I bought it because I want to learn how to use Protools but I rarely use it so far. I’ve just made up my mind a few days ago that I should get started with Pro Tools. At least, I should make it worth spending money on this MBox.
