Focusrite and iZotope join forces to offer free delay plugin for Clarett users.

Focusrite welcomes zplane to the Plug-In Collective with vielklang LE.

New to Focusrite’s Plug-In Collective for this month is zplane’s vielklang LE—a sophisticated tool for editing vocals and generating harmonies.

This month’s Focusrite Plug-in Collective offer is a free zplane audio harmonization plugin (worth over £70) for customers who have registered Focusrite hardware before August 3rd.

vielklang LE is a versatile vocal editing tool and harmony generator for musicians, songwriters and producers. It creates backing vocals and brass sections with up to four voices in a more musical way than traditional harmony processors. Utilizing sophisticated voice-leading and harmony progression models, vielklang LE generates more natural and musical arrangements rather than producing plain parallel voicing. The piano-roll display allows complete control over every pitch of every voice.

Once registered for the Plug-In Collective, you can log into your Focusrite account to access the vielklang LE plugin.

Radial announces ToneBone Cab-Link is now shipping.

Meet Cab-Link, Radial Engineering’s new solution for guitarists who use multiple cabinets but only have one speaker output from their amplifier.

The Cab-Link is a simple and compact solution for players who have a single speaker output on their amplifier but want to connect two cabinets simultaneously.

Completely passive with no need for power, the Cab-Link combines two cabinets in either series or parallel configuration, which allows their total impedance to match the output impedance of the amp. Both cabinets are connected via speaker cables to outputs A and B, and an easy-to-use guide on the top of the Cab-Link lets you know which input to connect your amp to, depending on the impedance ratings of your cabinets.

The Cab-Link also features a line output, which can be used to feed another amplifier or an effects unit. A dedicated level control allows for fine-tuning of this output. The Cab-Link can easily handle amp outputs of up to 400 watts, is built in Canada with high quality components, and comes with Radial’s 3-year warranty.

Street price for the Cab-Link is $79.99.
