Industry Software Manufacturers
November 23, 1999
Wave Digital has received certification from music industry
software manufacturers including Cakewalk, Emagic, Lexicon, Sonic Foundry and
Steinberg to pre-configure their programs on Wave Distribution’s new StudioPC
line of music production computers.
StudioPC
is a line of IBM-compatible computers individually designed to each customer’s
specifications. Customers can choose from a variety of hardware and software options
to meet the needs of any music production scenario. Using the customer specified
hardware and software, Wave Digital pre-configures, optimizes and tests the workstation
so that it will be up and running quickly and with minimum effort.
"Certification from all of the major manufacturers lets the industry
know that we are building and delivering a quality product," explains Gil
Griffith, president of Wave Distribution. "The concept of offering pre-configured,
custom computers specifically for music production is now a reality and is endorsed
by the software developers. Our StudioPC line will assist them in selling their
software to music professionals who do not have the time, patience, or knowledge
to set-up their own music production workstation."
Wave Digital is following the success model of companies, such as Dell and
Gateway, who offer custom pre-configured computers to homes and businesses around
the world. Wave Digital is unique in offering custom pre-configured computers
designed specifically for music production. By calling the factory in Ringwood,
New Jersey or visiting the Wave Digital Web page at www.wavedigital.com,
the consumer can design, and receive a quote for, a music production PC workstation
from a number of hardware and software options.
The StudioPC is designed from the ground-up as a hard disk recording digital
audio workstation. Features include: separate hard drives for the operating system
and the music files, separate AGP (Advanced Graphics Processor) video bus (frees
up PCI sockets for maximum channel capability), dual-channel Adaptec Ultra2 SCSI
cards, fast Synchronous DRAM (up to 1 gigabyte), ATX Desktop, Tower or Rack Mount
chassis with "SMART" advanced power management and 250 watt Ultra-Quiet
power supply.
The system comes pre-configured for such programs as Digidesign's Pro Tools
for Windows NT, Steinberg's Cubase VST|24, Emagic's Logic Audio, Cakewalk, and
more. It includes all associated drivers configured to the manufacturer's specifications
for optimum performance and trouble free operation. Simply install the manufacturers
software or hardware key and you'll be up and running in a matter of minutes.
Experience the audio clarity, power, and performance that you have come to expect
from the leading software manufacturers in the industry without the headaches
of configuring the PC yourself.
Options include: desktop, tower or rack-mount chassis, CD recorders, DVD drives,
Iomega Zip or Jaz drives, up to 50 gigabyte DAT tape back-up drives, removable
SCSI hard drives (for storing sessions), internal hard drives up to 36 gigabytes,
modems, network cards and extended service contracts. Also available is a complete
line of monitors including 17", 19" and 21" small footprint SVGA
as well as the new flat panel displays. Wave Digital computers come with a 3-year
warranty.
