Sony ACID Pro is a professional Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) software program, originally published by Sonic Foundry, now owned and run by Sony. When it was first launched in 1998 as a loop-based music sequencer, Acid Pro was the first-ever automatic audio loop-based music software of its kind, where someone could simply drag-and-drop an Acid loop file (for example a Drum or Bass loop) onto a track in Acid, and that loop would automatically adjust itself to the tempo and key of the song, with virtually no sonic degradation.

Cubase is a computer program for music production. The program offers recording, producing and mixing of sounds in order to make music production for distribution on CD`s or the internet. Most of the facilities in recording studios are now available for computer owners using Cubase or other similar products.
In order to illustrate this: If you have say guitar, piano, bass and vocal all played by the same person, Cubase can record a track with each instrument and mix the different instruments and sounds into a coherent production. This technique is known as overdubbing. The sound quality is pretty close to what a professional recording studio can offer.
Cubase is a series of MIDI, music sequencer and digital audio editing computer applications (commonly known as a DAW – Digital Audio Workstation), created by the German firm Steinberg. Its first version, which ran on the Atari ST computer, was released in 1989.

One of the first electric sports cars to hit the U.S. market is the Tesla Roadster. No gas and no emissions, plug in this gorgeous sports car for seven hours and you’re set for 200 miles of non-polluting fun! As CBS’s Manuel Gallegus reports, some Hollywood stars have already put down deposits.

Last year’s OQO ultramobile PC (or UMPC) was a great-looking, high-concept piece of equipment that was perhaps a little ahead of its time. Poor battery life and anemic performance kept the palm-sized PC from capitalizing on the system’s initial buzz.

The eagerly expected follow-up, the OQO model 02, keeps the original’s sliding screen design but adds upgraded specs; a new, ergonomic, backlit keyboard; and options for every flavor of wireless connectivity out there.
The OQO2 uses a VIA processor, up to 1.5GHz, and can hold up to 60GB of data on its shock-mounted hard drive, along with 1GB of RAM and an 800×480 display. We especially liked the built-in HDMI port for outputting to an external monitor.
The OQO model 02 should be available by the end of March and starts at $1,499.
