Ableton Live 7
Recommended for Middle School-College

Ableton Live 7 is your companion during every stage of the musical process, from creation to production to performance. Live offers two main views—the Session View and the Arrangement View—that interact in a powerful and unique way, allowing you to create, produce and perform your music all in a single application. Live's unique Session View acts as a powerful musical sketch and launch pad, allowing you to try out new ideas easily and improvise freely. Each cell in the Session View grid can hold a recording, MIDI file, or any other musical idea. These ideas can be recorded on the fly or dragged in from the Browser and played in any order and at any time you wish.The Arrangement View offers a timeline-based approach for traditional multitrack recording, MIDI sequencing and other music production tasks. You can even improvise in the Session View, and all of your actions will be recorded into the Arrangement View, where they can be edited whenever you like.

Edirol R-09 Portable 24 bit  recorder

Pristine 24-Bit Recording to Go! Features Introducing the latest addition to Edirol’s red-hot portable recorder lineup: the R-09. Building on the success of the R-1, the R-09 takes many of the most desired features — 24-bit uncompressed recording and a built-in stereo mic — and shrinks it all down into a more streamlined, stylish, and affordable package.

 

Features include:

  • 24-bit/48kHz (or 44.1kHz) uncompressed recording 
  • Up to 320kbps MP3 playback and recording 
  • Records to SD card (64MB card included) 
  • High-grade stereo condenser microphone built in 
  • Mic and Line audio inputs
  • USB I/O Easy operation, user-friendly graphic display 
  • Ultra portable, half the size of the R-1 
  • Long battery life Pristine 24-Bit 

Crystal-Clear Capture. It’s ultra small and looks like a gadget, but make no mistake — the R-09 is a serious, top-quality professional recorder with time-stamp capability. Capture source material at a crystal-clean 24-bit resolution with your choice of 44.1 or 48kHz sample rates. Record and play back in MP3 format as well (up to 320kbps). Once recorded, files can be monitored through the R-09’s headphone jack and/or exported to a computer via USB.

Microphone Included. To record audio into the R-09, there’s no extra gear to buy or no cables to connect. A quality stereo microphone is built right into the unit, complete with a dedicated input control, mono/stereo selector, low-cut filter, and gain boost. Just point and record! The R-09 also offers a mic input.

Sweetening. The R-09 is more affordable than its predecessor, the R-1. One reason the R-1 carries a heavier price tag is because of its well-stocked lineup of internal effects. The R-09 isn’t devoid of effects, however. It contains the world’s most-requested/desired effect: reverb. Whether you’re listening to WAV or MP3 files, you can route the R-09’s playback through its internal reverb processor, immersing it in lush, user-controllable ambience.

More Than Music. The R-09 is perfect for recording live music events, recitals, and rehearsals. It’s also handy as a songwriter’s sketchpad, ensuring that no moment of inspiration is lost. But the R-09 has many valuable uses outside of the music world as well. Students can use it to record lectures. Broadcasters and journalists can throw away their antiquated cassette recorders and use the R-09 for in-the-field interviews — the audio-capturing applications are endless.

Accessories:

CS-15 Stereo Microphone Kit $129. 
For serious field recording, the optional CS-15 cardioid-type stereo microphone is a great match for the R-09. For portability and convenience, the R-09 supplies the power to the mic. Bundled with the microphone are a desktop stand, a hand-held mount, and a windscreen.

OP-R09C Cover/Stand for the R-09 $65.
The OP-R09C package includes a small tripod and a protective cover for the R-09. The cover has holes for accessing the buttons, plus a belt clip, and a screw hole for attachment to the tripod base. (1/4” universal size).


 

OP-R09M Microphone Stand Adapter $25.
The OP-R09A Screw Adaptor enables us to fix the R-09 covered with the OP-R09C on a common microphone stand.

 

CB-R09S Carrying Case for the R-09 $55.
Transport the R-09 and its accessories in one convenient padded carrying case.
