Sonic8 Meet the Gadget Show Live

Our intrepid tech, Tom Carter was recently sequestered into educating the lovely folks at the Gadget Show about the virtues of Antares Auto-Tune. 

Gadget Show Live

In an eventful session alongside Pollyanna Woodward, one of the presenters from the Gadget Show, Tom and their faithful engineer ran Auto-Tune EVO Native through its paces in a real-time, live show, show-down...

Everything ran smoothly and latency values were down to 5.6 milliseconds allowing the sound engineer to control, in real-time, the retune speed so the singer could sound like T-Pain/Cher in the choruses and simply natural in the verses.

There will be a total of 15 shows throughout the Gadget Show Live and this one should be aired on Channel 5 on Monday the 18th April, be sure to check it out!

Antares To Donate 25% of All Sales From March 20-22

Antares Will Donate 25% of All Sales From March 20-22 to Rotary International Japan Relief 

Barely a year after last year's devastating Haiti earthquake, the world is once again witnessing a natural disaster of almost unimaginable proportions, this time in Japan. And once again, Antares is partnering with Rotary International to help provide relief though ShelterBox, a Global Rotary Club Project. 

And once again, you can help.

 

For every Antares product sold or upgraded from 12:00 AM Sunday, March 20th through midnight, Tuesday, March 22nd (Pacific Daylight Time), Antares will donate 25% of the purchase price to Rotary International's Japan relief effort. So, if you've been thinking about adding Antares vocal processing plug-ins to your system, or upgrading to the latest versions of Auto-Tune 7, AVOX Evo, or Harmony Engine Evo, now is definitely the time. 

Here's how to make sure your purchase in Sonic8 territories counts:

 

Products purchased at Antares dealers or via our website

Fax or email a scan of your dated sales receipt to Antares by March 25, 2010.

- Fax your receipt to: (001) 831 461 7801

or

- Email a scan of your receipt in JPG or PDF format to japan_relief@antarestech.com

 

Again, this program applies to every Antares product or upgrade purchased from Sunday, March 20th through Tuesday, March 22nd. Not only will you be getting world-class vocal processing tools, but you'll be providing desperately needed help to Japan earthquake survivors. It's a true win-win proposition.
