The uniqueness of our MPC sequencing samplers has forever changed the way modern music is created by enabling digital samples to become the basis for composition. Akai Pro stands at the forefront of digital technology and remains one of the most influential manufacturers of musical equipment in the last 20 years.



ALESIS

 

 

It takes more than just designing, manufacturing and selling digital, analog, semiconductor and transducer technologies to fulfill the dreams of musicians, producers and audio engineers. It takes unforgettable musical experiences. The experiences can vary. They can be as simple as a gig at a local club recorded on an Alesis iMultiMix 8 USB, as familiar as a practice session on an Alesis DM5 Pro Kit in the basement or as memorable as that Rock Tour recorded on a tried and true Alesis ADAT.  


While Alesis products range from keyboards, synthesizers, hard disk recorders, iPod recording and playback devices, electronic drums, mixers, signal processors, effects units, amplifiers and speakers one thing remains consistent; the Alesis passion for inspiring musical creativity and innovation through new technology.


 

PRODAW

 


PRODAW computers is a Dutch DAW brand. All PRODAW computers are custom built for your music needs. Although the PRODAW brand only exists for about three and a half years, already over 300 studios and producers are supplied with a PRODAW sytem. Can you imagine how many music is being recorded, mixed and mastered at these systems right now!?

What makes a PRODAW system so different is the fact that it is custom built for professional audio use. It's fast, very quiet and every system is tuned, tested and backupped by a system image. As they say themselves: "We build the system, you make the music." During the Music Alive Event, you can check their systems out for yourself.
