One of the most impressive items that has come to light in 2008 has to be the Artist Series controllers from Euphonix. The MC Mix and MC Control made a huge splash at NAMM and rode high on that wave all year long, showing no signs of slowing down.

The subject of room calibration has come up many times here on Zoom In, but once again I feel obligated to mention that the room you are in has just as much effect on what you hear as your choice of speakers, amplifiers, crossovers, or any other part of your playback signal chain.

A few days ago, I took the short trip over to Tekserve to sit in on the Pro Tools 8 Sneak Peak event. As a matter of fact I even wrote about it.
