How do they sell such great speakers for such a low price?

No wires, no microphones, no pickups...The Intellitouch Tuner "feels" the pitch.

The new revolutionary Intellitouch^TM tuner is designed to tune stringed instruments including violins, electric or acoustic guitars, basses, banjos, mandolins and more.

Intellitouch^TM is ideal for everyone. Its ease of use, accuracy and reliability is what beginners need and professionals want. The unique, flexible clamp actually "feels" the pitch and allows maximum visibility of the backlit LCD display.

John Patitucci: "The most natural sounding pick-up I've ever heard. You wouldn't believe the sound of it through my rig. It feels great -- I'm totally into it. I'm really happy with it. It's easy, I love it. I can go from pizzicato to arco without any hesitation."

Michael Moore: "The best Arco sound of them all. The Realist™sounds the most like a microphone without the problem of feedback."

Jay Leonhart: "The Realist™ is absolutely the best sounding pickup I have ever used. It creates a sound and texture that is very much like the instrument it is on, and you really feel like you are playing acoustically. Yet it can still crank out a lot of sound. Try it."

Twelve Tone Systems - Cakewalk Express

Now there's a small version solution of Cakewalk!

Cakewalk has been known as one of the best computer based multi-track recorders. It uses your soundcard to record audio and midi either sequentially or simultaneously. The down side is that Cake Walk Pro Audio costs hundreds of dollars. Cakewalk has entered in their latest solution for only $20. It's still a multitrack recorder, but has less of the features. This can be a plus for the recreational user, because it simplifies use. It can do two tracks of audio and midi. This is all users with regular grade sound cards such as the Sound Blaster needs. It can still print the Midi to notation. PC only.
