‘Is your mix Boomy, Flat, Muddy, Unbalanced and just not right?
The problem is your room.
Fix your Room and you’ll fix your mix…‘
Sometimes something comes along that you just wish you had enough spare cash to throw away on.
I’d love to know if this works.
KRK ERGO Room Correction System
The ERGO is a digital room analysis/correction system designed to measure and analyse phase abd frequency problems within a listening environment.
There’s an article on Sound On Sound here
A great mix starts with a great recording room. But when it comes to achieving the most accurate mix, your room may have the upper hand. Like any room, your studio’s acoustics include offending frequencies and room reflections, and none of these are helping your mix. Getting a handle on these problems has traditionally meant the installation of soft foam or fabrics, and that’s a great start. But now you can get even closer to a perfect room, and a perfect mix, because the future of studio sound is here, and it’s called ERGO.

How cool is this? I mean it even looks cool doesn’t it?
‘The JamVOX, is an integrated monitor and software system that extracts the guitar from any MP3 and plugs you into the mix of their favorite bands.’ – I can see this being very useful cfor some guitarists although I am sceptical as to how effective it would be.
Vox JAMVOX Guitar Jam And Practive Tool $249 @ Guitar Trader
‘JamVOX gives guitarists instant access to dozens of legendary amps and effects all in one easy to use drag and drop software interface.’ – Now that’s the interesing part of this for under £150 you’ve got a USB guitar interface and a monitor plus software.
‘Alternatively, you can extract or isolate the guitar part, slow down the tempo, and practice any style of music without changing the pitch.’ – Again I am sceptical to the software but if you add up the interface, the monitor and the effects software then it’s a pretty hot deal.
So um yes it got added to my never ending wishlist.
Gonna need a bigger boat methinks…

This cool looking little practice amp is the definitive small portable amp. Great clean or overdriven vintage sound.
Louder than most mini amps with a real leather handle, belt clip and headphone jack. Volume, tone & overdrive controls. Powered by a 9V battery wish is included.
As you can see these dinky little amps come in three cool colours and the retro styling is a nice addition.
I’ve wanted one of these for a while now and so it has been added to my wishlist.
As far as how it sounds, well as soon as I get one I will be reviewing it.
