Samson Audio has announced the C03U multi-pattern USB studio condenser microphone, following on from their C01U USB microphone last year. That was one of the first USB studio microphones, and the new C03U adds a few more bells and whistles. (But only if you&#8217;re actually recording bells and whistles, of course.) It&#8217;s essentially their standard [...]]]></description>

The SoundTech Lightsnake is a cable that lets you record sound on your computer without needing to buy a separate audio interface &#8212; actually, the cable is the audio interface. This 3 metre cable has a 6.3mm stereo plug at one end and a USB2 plug at the other. Cunningly hidden somewhere in the cable [...]]]></description>

Future Music magazine reviews the Mbox 2 USB audio interface from Digidesign. They like this piece of equipment, though it&#8217;s the funky-looking handle that grabs the attention first up. They note that the handle can be removed for those who prefer their boxes sleek and streamlined, though I quite like it just as it is. [...]]]></description>

Computer Music reviewed the E-Mu 1616M audio interface and thought it was fantastic. The sound quality is not just good &#8212; it&#8217;s &#8220;astounding&#8221;. Before you even plug it in though, you can see how flexible it is: the laptop card connects to the breakout box with an Ethernet cable, making it easy to use cheap [...]]]></description>

The most important part of your laptop studio is, of course, your laptop. MusicXPC (&#8221;The world&#8217;s finest music production computers&#8221;) have released their latest laptop model, the Professional M3. Apart from the obvious things like a decent hard drive, it has a multitude of tweaks that make it good for music production. Not only is [...]]]></description>

Keyboard magazine reviews the E-Mu Xboard 25- and 49-key USB/MIDI controllers. They praise the &#8220;impressive keyboard action&#8221;, which they say is &#8220;surprisingly solid and satisfying, especially given the lightness of the controllers.&#8221; They also say its editing software is easy to use. Unfortunately, they think  the buttons aren&#8217;t so good &#8212; in fact the [...]]]></description>

Access Music are about to release their very interesting new hardware/software combo, the Virus TI Totally Integrated Synthesizer. The Virus TI hardware is a synth, keyboard, control surface and audio interface all in one. Nothing revolutionary there. The interesting part happens when you install the VirusControl VST/Apple Audio Unit plug-in. This acts just like a [...]]]></description>

Computer Music reviews the Xboard 49 keyboard controller from E-MU. The most important part of any keyboard &#8212; in this case, the most important 49 parts &#8212; are the keys.
