The latest update on Logic Studio 9

Apple have released Logic Studio version 9. As usual we found this info out ourselves! Apple did issue a press release but it wasn't very widely distributed. One of our Mail Order guys, Will, found out while surfing the Apple site during his lunch break!

The new Logic 9 has a whole load of new features to make your music production easier than it has ever been. Andertons are stocking this and we should have some ready to send out within the next few weeks.

If you're a student you can get it at a special discounted price, so make sure you ring Pete or Rob in the MEC office on 01483 456888 (you'll need to prove you're a student - this means having a University email and a valid student card).

More information on Apple Logic 9 can be found on the Andertons Site here

Buddy Miles Dies. Born September 5, 1947.


It's a great shame to hear that drummer Buddy Miles passed away on Tuesday. He played with Jimi Hendrix, Santana and David Bowie during his career.

You will have heard his drums on the legendary Hendrix album 'Electric Ladyland'.

Miles' career included playing drums with Stevie Wonder, Muddy Waters, Barry White, George Clinton, Bootsy Collins, Carlos Santana, David Bowie and Jimi Hendrix.

He was an excellent musician and his contributions shaped the iconic music of the last 3 decades. His music will live on through the numerous albums he played on.

It's that (EuroVision) Time Of Year Again!

With Eurovision fast approaching what's you're prediction for the UK's offering? Will it be 'nul points' again...?

I must say that I normally completely ignore the Eurovision Song Contest, personally I can't see any value - I know it's meant to be fun, but I usually want England to win. This hasn't happened in quite a while as the acts and songs chosen are terrible!

Anyway, we'll have to wait and see... will you be watching Eurovision this year?

Hope for Young (at heart) Musicians


If you're 35 and over and want to join a band, but feel you need to master your instrument first then you're in luck!

Andertons sponsors a music workshop called Weekend Warriors. The workshop is described as "Weekend Warriors is for middle-aged musicians (35's and over) who used to play in bands but gave up, or who wanted to play but never dared. We will place you into groups based on your musical preferences, and take you through a number of rehearsal sessions at Silent Hill Studios before getting you up on stage to perform live in a rock concert. We organise everything for you, all you need to do is turn up!"

It's really easy to join and you get to play in a gig at the end of the course!

Weekend Warriors is also covered on the MIA (Music Industries Association) Website
