New Toontrack product: Beatstation

Toontrack has posted a teaser video on a new website for a new product – Beatstation. Looks like something that will want to give Stylus RMX and Transfuser a run for the money. The REX support makes it interesting and I applaud them for making the interface skinnable (is that a word?) but do we really need another product like this? The ones that are out there are pretty good so Beatstation better be badass.

I think we’re in a golden age of professional audio right now. A second golden age, because people are making emulations of the old stuff that actually works better.

If someone starts talking about the purpose of art, then that person is probably a nazi or something similar. Look out!
