Sound Editing---------->SoftwareTop Programs For Your Band!
here are several factors to consider when look-ing for suitable audio editing software. So be-fore choosing a program, determine what you want to do with the software. Are you interest-ing in working with streaming audio, making ar-
rangements for your iPod or MP3 player, restoring sound files, forensics, creating audio for your website or burn-ing a CD of your bands music?
There are also a variety of editing tools, effects and filters available. If you are a beginner, you may want to look for a product that includes a large number of preset effects and filters. Alternately, if you know how to use audio editing software and know how to make adjustments on your own, you may want a program that supports a high level of manipulation, through a 10-band equalizer, a mixer or various processors.

24 Tech Toyz
Slacker has put out an up-date for its popular Slacker Radio iPhone app complete with a clever feature that actually lets you cache mu-sic stations so that you can listen to them anywhere—connected to a network or not.
The app’s free, but you do need a Slacker Radio Plus subscription which will run you at least $4 per month.

The Commodore Invictus is picking a fight with the Asus Eee Keyboard for supremacy in the PC-in-a-keyboard with a touchscreen-on-the-side category, and with the specs Commodore is listing, it may just win. Well, if it ever releases.
Compare the Commodus Invictus’ 1.6Ghz Intel Atom 330 processor, up to 4GB RAM, 250GB HDD, nVIDIA GeoForce 9400, 802.11n, and HDMI out against the Asus Eee Key-board’s Intel Atom N270 processor, 1GB of DDR2 RAM, 16GB or 32GB SSD and the same 802.11n and HDMI out, and it looks like the Invictus squeaks out a victory. The Invictus will also run Windows 7 vs the Eee Keyboard’s XP, so there’s that. But the Invictus has a resistive touchscreen versus the Eee Keyboard’s capacitive.

28 Top 21 Bands of San Antonio
Top 21BANDS
an Antonio has very talented and creative bands. For the past couple of years, there have been some really good bands that have emerged and have made their mark on the local
scene. Not only is it diffi cult to have a good sounding band, just getting gigs is hard to do in San Antonio. (I) hate to say it but cover bands seem to get more respect from venues.
21inSA.com will be ranking bands every month. Rankings are based upon popularity, originality, longevity and merchandising. We focus on bands that have been playing since 2006 to present.
