CD copying and printing system
Primera Technology
Bravo XR Disc Publisher: This unit automates the process of recording and direct-to-disc printing of 50 CDs or DVDs at a time. A robotic arm transports the discs to the drive to be burned, and then moves the discs into the integrated 4800 dpi color printer. All supplies and the finished discs are accessible from the front of the unit, which allows it to be placed on shelves or mounted in 4RU. Two Bravo XR systems can be stacked and operated from one PC. Each unit includes a copy of Primo DVD burning software from Sonic for PC and Charismac’s Discribe Software for Mac users. Sure Thing CD Labeler Primera Edition labeling software is also included for graphic design.

Audio editing software
Adobe Systems
Audition 2.0: In Adobe Audition 2.0, a new low-latency mixing engine with ASIO hardware support allows greater creative flexibility, with real-time effects and input monitoring. Automatic delay compensation provides synchronization while mixing an unlimited number of tracks, including as many as 80 simultaneous input and output devices. The mixer panel allows users to set up the type of routing needed using inputs, outputs, sends and buses. Parameter automation can be recorded and adjusted in the mixer itself, or in the new automation lanes in the timeline. Users can also add 16 sends per channel. Use CPU power more efficiently by creating sends on several tracks that go to a bus with a reverb or other effects applied.
