For this week, we have a great MultiFX unti suitable for many many different purposes, signed by Alesis, and ofc - very affordable!
 Very nice multiFX unit for live usage as well, having the bypass switch option!  Alesis NanoVerb 2 (price ~95$ @ 3.12.2011)   The Alesis NanoVerb 2 isn't just about reverb. With 16 different effects programs, each with 16 variations of that program, you'll find a total of 256 effects algorithms to work with! These are brand new stereo effects that take advantage of the NanoVerb 2's 52-bit signal processing for a new standard in sonic quality. The NanoVerb 2 makes access to all those effects programs, with just two knobs to select effect type and algorithm. Input and Output controls give you control of your signal pre- and post-effects, while the Mix control lets you dial in the perfect amount of effect. Simple operation makes the NanoVerb 2 equally suited for studio or live effects processing - and once you hear these effects, you'll want to use it everywhere! Lush reverbs, ambient delays, swirly rotary speakers... all these effects and more can be found in the NanoVerb 2. With its simple design yet powerful effects processing, the NanoVerb 2 must be heard to be appreciated. Alesis has created another legendary multi-effects processor with the NanoVerb 2! Alesis NanoVerb 2 Features at a Glance: 256 effects cover reverb, delay, and modulation Small, durable design makes it an ideal effects processor for your live rig 52-bit DSP for a new level of audio clarity and depth Front-panel indicator lights let you know at a glance if your signal is clipping Footswitch input for hands-free bypass! -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

Everything in the Sweetwater Pro Studio HD Bundle is 100% professional-caliber gear, the same proven equipment used by some of today's best engineers to produce hit records. Check it out! It all starts with the Sweetwater Custom Computing Creation Station Rack XT, 64-bit desktop computer. If you're not already familiar with Creation Station PCs, you're in for a treat.

The power of Pro Tools|HD is absolutely staggering to begin with, and when you add the Universal Audio UAD-2 Quad Flexi bundle.

Speaking of which, the UAD-2 Quad Flexi bundle comes not only with UA's seven Mix Essentials II plug-ins, but it also includes a $500 UAD-powered plug-in bundle that you can use to exactly the plug-ins you want. On the flip side of the Sweetwater Pro Studio HD Bundle, there's a Euphonix Artist Mix control surface. This great-feeling compact control surface puts 8 pro-quality touch-sensitive motorized faders. It also puts rotary encoders and programmable buttons at your finger tips - perfect for getting hands-on control of your sessions!

This amazing monitor rig includes a pair of 6.5" Focal CMS 65 active studio monitors, plus an 11" CMS SUB. Together, these speakers let you hear into the very depth of your music, letting you create mixes that translate perfectly onto any sound system.
