More No-Brainer Deals from audioMIDI.com

Couple of tempting deals from audioMIDI.com - they're offering the Nomad Factory Blue Tubes Analog Trackbox for $15 (around £9) - that's 90% off.

They're also offering an LE version of the XILS3 matrix synth for just $20 (£12).

The Analog Trackbox is a tube emulating gate, compressor and EQ. It offers two different tube emulations, and comes in both Mac and PC VST and RTAS formats, as well as Audio Unit, so it should be compatible, whatever your system. You can choose between Hard Disc and iLok authorization, and there's a 15 day demo here.

The XILS3 LE is modeled on a classic matrix synth - you can connect anything to anything else! It can be used as a synth, or as an effects processor.

I'm waiting for my serial numbers, so I'll write more once I've had a chance to play with both of them. In the mean time, head here to check out the offers yourselves.

Foosball night

Thursday night was Foosball night at the London School of Sound south campus. Thanks to all who turned up - was a fun night.

Though most people thought the deserving winner was robbed (knocked out in a semi-final round sudden death point), the reigning champion is me!

As it would seem a bit mean for staff to take the cash, the prize money is being put into a beer fund for the next planned night - Doubles matches. All current and former students are welcome - details will follow once we iron out the details.

For the few of you who are interested, you can check out the final match here.
