I know what you’re thinking: “Why?” - Moozek is already so perfect and beautiful and updated so often (once every 3 months sometimes) – Why would you consider reading anything else? ;)

There is now a LinkedIn networking group for readers of Moozek (and just about anyone involved). You can find the invitation page here.
Besides subscribing to Moozek’s RSS feed for updates, request a special newsletter for members of the group, if you’re interested. With enough requests, it wouldn’t be a problem to do it.
Go and get your membership now! Happy networking…

As you might know by now Pro Tools 7.4.2 is out, supporting Mac OS X 10.5.3 and 10.5.4 .
But if you don’t know, and if you purchased 7.4 and Leopard, you can run and download it. It has been running pretty stable, but then again, it wasn’t extensively tested.
Even though it seems to run fine, I still wonder if life would be better with no Leopard update at all. I think I still miss the old stability and efficiency of Tiger. Even after all the combo updates, 10.5.4 still feels slow to me, and it still has instability issues with itself and some software, in a machine where RAM is definitely not an issue.
Good news to all the readers left!
Moozek, the pro audio blog with a twist, is returning after 3 months of absence.
Slowly at first, I’ll try to have some articles everyday/week, with more rants, tips, tutorials, downloads, music industry celebrities and studio watch (everyone needs something and someone to look up to - specially in this industry, right?). After some suggestions, the possibility of hiring more writers/editors will not be left out in a near future.

Digidesign today unveiled the Transfuser™ Preview , a free three-month prerelease version of Transfuser, a new upcoming RTAS® virtual instrument plug-in for Pro Tools. Transfuser is a real-time loop, phrase, and groove creation virtual instrument designed for quickly and easily creating, manipulating, and performing loop- and rhythm-based music on the fly within Pro Tools. It also offers users a quick and easy way to modify existing loop libraries to breathe new life into their creations.
In response to user feedback EASTWEST announces RTAS® support for Mac and PC versions of all PLAY products. Current PLAY-powered collections can be upgraded to include RTAS support through a free update posted on the company’s website (http://www.soundsonline.com). The software updates (PLAY v1.0.056) are available for both Mac and PC platforms in both standalone and plug-in versions, with PC updates being offered for both 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems.
Another attempt to compete with Ivory? After East West Quantum Leap Pianos were slightly mocked for being a 250 GB Library:
Garritan announces that the Authorized Steinway Virtual Concert Grand Piano, Professional Edition, a software instrument developed incollaboration with Steinway & Sons, maker of the world’s finest pianos, has started shipping and is available now.
Native Instruments Guitar Rig 3. John 5, Munky, Trent Reznor, Stephen Carpenter and Kirk Hammett seem to agree…
Following our previous showdown review of Waves GTR 3 vs Amplitube 2, in our eternal pursuit for easy guitar tones relying on the latest technologies of amp modeling, Native Instruments brought our attention to the version 3 of Guitar Rig, which we didn’t review at the time. And why are they so proud of it? Well, this is not like a mere v1 to 2 update. It’s more like a v2 turned into a V8. Check it out.
Directly from New Zealand, in exclusive announcement to Moozek.com, we spoke to Ian Rich, the creator of Lok and Load, to allow us to preview the software. We will inform all readers when we have a complete review of the program, which is Windows XP only (for now). Moozek.com thanks Ian for this amazing concept: we can speak for most professionals when we say we’ve really been wishing for this kind of product. More…
You don’t have to buy the overpriced Pro Tools custom keyboards (or keyboards for any other application for that matter), or settle for the stickers. Now, KB Covers and zCover are selling keyboard covers in latex with application shortcut maps printed on them. They work on Apple keyboards (old and new) and Apple laptops too!
