POD HD Pro User Review – Which POD HD Is Best For You?
Pro
What does ‘Pro’ really mean… yeah ok, you got me, of course it means Professional. But what does that word mean to you? Does it mean a job.. A career.. Or perhaps a vocation? When listening to your guitar heros (and playing air guitar to their uncommonly good chops) do you dream of a day when you too could be a guitar hero with others listening to you on their iPods, etc. Would you then consider yourself a Pro?

A Reason For Recording
Propellerhead Reason being as stable and feature packed as it is, and having been used on countless high profile albums, needs no lengthy introduction from me.
The recent announcement of Reason 6 does need a little more explanation.
It would seem that Record (propellerhead’s cut down DAW) will have its features incorporated into Reason 6, and therefore Record will no longer be required. Those of us (me included) who paid the extra for Reason Record Duo, will get a special lower upgrade price for Reason 6. So that means our purchases of Record will not go to waste.
What’s most important to me is the continuing inclusion of Line 6 guitar and bass amps, as they are a large part of me purchasing into Propellerhead’s world of no plug-ins.
For the full detail on all this, and the upgrade prices for Reason 6, which will be available at the end of September 2011: Visit http://www.propellerheads.se/reason6/
Digitech iPB-10 – iPad Foot Controller
It would seem that with the sales figures suggesting there are more than 20 million iPad owners globally, that any music company selling accesories to use with an iPad already has a large potential market.
It’s not totally clear from Digitech whether this iPB-10 will just be a fancy dock and controller for the iPad, or if in fact this is an FX pedal where just the editing is done via the iPad. My initial thoughts were that it was a controller and the iPad will process the audio, but then why are Digitech advertising the iPB-10 as having multiple DSP chips? Digitech say: “The iPB-10 Programmable Pedalboard is not simply a dock for the iPad. It uses multiple Audio DNA2™ processors within the unit to provide users with no-latency, high-definition signal processing.”
All in all though, the cost of the iPB-10 added to even the cost of the entry level model of iPad 2 would likely make this whole package around £800 which is over twice the price of the Digitech RP1000.
So whilst I think this is a good idea, I’m not sure it’s been as well thought out. Yes there’s a market for it if you already own an iPad, or are intending to buy one. But if you’re not I fail to see how this can be justified, unless there really is a lot more you can do with it, and the sounds are superior to the RP1000.
