Pioneer DJ CDJ-3000 Flagship Multi Player

Pioneer DJ has released the CDJ-3000 flagship multi player . The CDJ-3000 is driven by a new micro-processing unit ( MPU ), delivering stable performance and enabling advanced new features , and it works with the other parts of the player to create a smoother DJ experience . For example , tracks and hot cues load faster thanks to the capabilities of the MPU and Gigabit Ethernet connection . The CDJ-3000 is a rekordbox Hardware Unlock device , too . To use Performance mode , the DJ simply needs to update to the latest version of the software , even if they ’ re using the free subscription plan .
The 9-in . touchscreen is bigger and offers a higher resolution than that on the CDJ-2000NXS2 . It features the same user interface but new controls are added , such as shortcuts to make it easier to jump between different categories in the music collection . New functions such as Touch Preview enable rapid track selection . With a host of other features including Touch Cue , Stacked Waveform , and 3Band Waveform , the DJ knows where the ideal mix points are on the cued track and the one that ’ s currently playing . As well , eight hot cue buttons arranged from left to right underneath the waveform display offer more intuitive triggering .

Gruv Gear Lynk Pre-Cut Pedal Fasteners

Gruv Gear has released the Lynk pre-cut , low-profile pedal fasteners for guitar and bass pedalboards .
The Lynk pedal fasteners , which are manufactured by 3M , are pre-cut into commonly-used 1 x 1-in . and 1 x 2-in . sizes . Unlike other hook-and-loop pedal fasteners cut from a roll , these fasteners are always the same with no crooked edges or uneven , mis-matched sizes and shapes . The clear fasteners are also half the thickness of the standard 3M Dual-Lock fasteners . At 2.5 mm thin , pedals can be placed flush to the pedalboard so they look tidier . The Lynk fasteners are designed to be easier to pull off and adjust so pedals can be easily removed and relocated . The industrial-strength adhesive is specially designed to withstand temperature variations and fix to any surface .

Vintage Statesboro Dreadnought Electro-Acoustic 12-String Guitar

Vintage has added a 12-string electro-acoustic dreadnought to its Paul Brett Statesboro Signature Series of guitars .
Like all six-string models in the Statesboro series , 1930s blues remains the theme for the new 12-string electro-acoustic dreadnought , which was designed by English classic rock guitarist and blues historian Paul Brett . With an authentic look in a satin matte whisky sour finish , it highlights the natural grain pattern of the hand-picked , all-mahogany construction and subtle soundhole rosette . The visual concept is matched with a distinctive , crisp , resonant 12-string quality that yields a full rich tone , with noticeable clarity and defined note separation , according to the company .
This 12-string electro-acoustic features Vintage ’ s in-housedesigned preamp with controls for volume , bass , middle , treble , phase switch , tuner display , and low battery indicator .
