Have you seen our latest Giveaway Blog? IK Multimedia is giving away a StealthPedal. The StealthPedal is both an audio interface and software controller in a compact, wah-style pedal. It’s built tough enough to use live on a regular basis, but it can also play an integral part in recording by controlling the included "Powered by Amplitube" software or any other amp and FX modeling software with MIDI control capabilities.

This Giveaway Blog closes tomorrow, so make sure to enter your blog comment for a chance to win!

We have an opportunity with a new talent. Proving herself this year as one of the most promising vocalists in the country, American Idol semi- finalist Casey Carlson now has her sights set on recording her first album. This release, supported by the hundreds of thousands of fans that watched her on Idol, is filling up fast with songs, but isn’t complete.
