Performing Arts Network (PAN) & Hard Disk Recording PC Notes
Brian Heywood surveys the latest in software and hard disk recording developments shown at the APRS exhibition and reveals how you can go deeper into cyberspace with the Performing Arts Network.
Summer is here, along with the seasonal crop of music exhibitions, usually encouraging music vendors to release their latest products (i.e. here we come, ready or not! ). At APRS this year it was more a matter of evolution than revolution , with only the release of the Prisma, a PC‑based hard disk recording system from Spectral Synthesis, adding anything completely new to the scene. This lack of any great revolutionary change may reflect a maturity in the PC hardware/ software world, or it may just be the calm before the storm.
