Cubasis 3 Now Available for iPad and iPhone

Steinberg today showcased Cubasis 3, the award-winning music production app that lets musicians and producers create music anywhere they go. Read news here.

Gravitating toward its desktop equivalent, Cubasis provides the same look and feel as Steinberg's Cubase music software, and sports similar tools to perform, mix and share music productions, including many effects, hundreds of instrument sounds and third-party plug-in compatibility with Audio Unit, Inter-App Audio and Audiobus 3.

The All-New Cubasis
Previous versions of Cubasis only ran on the iPad, but with its third version, Cubasis has evolved into a full-fledged DAW now offering universal app support for both iPad and iPhone. This means that the app's extensive feature set can now be used on a smaller screen without restricting usability.

Cubasis 3 is more performant than ever before, offering great new features and enhancements that let users get results quickly and easily. Group Tracks is one of many highlights that Cubasis has to offer. It combines multiple tracks so that they can be processed and mixed as though they were a single track — a special capability that is extremely useful when using the app on the limited real estate of an iPhone's screen. Read this for more information.

The mixer in Cubasis 3 has been revamped, now taking advantage of the entire display. It includes useful zoom modes and an eminently accurate level metering for as many tracks as are needed.

Also new in Cubasis 3 are the eight rearrangeable insert and send effects. Users can add up to eight insert and eight send effects from the many already included in Cubasis or can choose to use third-party effects via Audio Unit, Inter-App Audio and Audiobus 3. The insert effects can now be placed before or after the fader. Click here to read the latest news.

Other Feature Highlights
Many other feature additions and capabilities in Cubasis 3 include:

Marketing Manager Lars Slowak commented: "After more than 30 free Cubasis updates for the previous two versions, it's time to reveal what the team has been working on for quite some time now — Cubasis 3, a completely new app.

"Not only did we rewrite Cubasis 3 from scratch, we also had to rethink the app itself so that it looks and performs perfectly on the iPhone. It is a huge step forward with iPhone support and more than twenty user-requested features. And I'm very proud of our team who pulled it off, delivering the best version to date with Cubasis 3."

Availability and Pricing
Cubasis 3 is purchased as download through the App Store and is not available for free to existing customers of previous versions of Cubasis. The price is US $49.99.

In addition, the price for the Full Feature Set In-App Purchase, included in Cubasis LE 2 will also be reduced to US $14.99.

ReserveBar Joins SmartGift’s Network of Leading Brands for Instant Gift Delivery of Premium Spirits, Champagne and Wine

SmartGift, the fastest growing gift-based e-Commerce and data platform, today announced that ReserveBar.com joined its award winning gift experience platform and network.

ReserveBar is the premiere online destination for premium, ultra-premium and luxury spirits and is dedicated to personalization, upscale packaging and fast and reliable delivery. The company's motto – "Good Spirits. Delivered" – represents its philosophy to enable customers to celebrate and share good times in a uniquely American fashion – by sharing premium spirits, champagne and wine as the perfect gift for any holiday, occasion or celebration.

"We approached SmartGift really late in the season as we were looking for a way to capture last minute gift orders the last 4 to 5 days before Christmas and New Year's Day," said Lindsay Held, CEO and co-founder of ReserveBar. "We went live within a week on December 21, with a fully customized experience that reflects our premium branding. "Send with SmartGift" turned into an instant success on our site. Shoppers' adoption of the service began instantly, use accelerated through the holidays after our post ground shipping cut-off – and customer use of the service has remained consistently strong in January. We are thrilled to be the only online destination dedicated to spirits and wines that offers this capability to shoppers. We expect SmartGift to be a core part of our convenient and innovative services to our customer base."

"ReserveBar is a fantastic addition to our network of leading brands. We are excited to welcome the ReserveBar family. Premium spirits, champagne, and wine make classic and timeless gifts. You just can't go wrong with them," said Monika Kochhar, CEO at SmartGift. "I've personally used Send with SmartGift on ReserveBar for spirits, as well as for gifting great glassware and accessories. I was empty-handed and sent a selection of spirits and champagne while on my way to a holiday dinner party. The hosts were thrilled with the gift notification and it doubled down as a thank-you gift when it was delivered in premium packaging a couple of days after."

"Send with SmartGift creates fascinating engagement between ReserveBar gift senders and their recipients," said Bernd Strenitz, Chief Product Officer at SmartGift. "We all have our very personal preferences when it comes to premium spirits and wine, rooted in our upbringing and circumstances. Send with SmartGift enables this perfectly in the context of gift giving – You send the gift you think they'll like, and they decide to accept or choose a different product. No remorse! We've seen a bourbon swapped for scotch, a Barbados rum exchanged for a Trinidadian rum, and a master blended blue agave aged tequila changed for a bottle of American whiskey. Send with SmartGift sparks a conversation between two individuals about taste and lifestyle preferences, and the sender and recipient even learn something that they haven't previously known about each other. It's great!"

Send with SmartGift is a service that helps shoppers give the perfect gift, every time. The shopper can select a bottle or a collection of bottles to send, and surprise and delight the gift recipient, without concern that the shopper has chosen a spirit type or brand that is not preferred by the gift recipient. Send with SmartGift allows the gift recipient to virtually "unwrap" the gift via text or email, or through any other digital platform. The gift recipient can then decide if it's indeed the perfect gift. If not, he or she can swap for a same-priced item. Once the gift recipient is happy with the choice, the shopper confidently completes the purchase – and not until that point is the gift sender charged. Read here.

Top brands such as 1-800-Flowers, B&H, EXPRESS, Helmut Lang, Kendra Scott, Kipling, Movado, TUMI, Theory, Under Armour, vineyard vines, Waterford and many others utilize the SmartGift platform to power their peer-to-peer gift recommendations, shopping and customer experience. The platform helps brands lower the cost of customer acquisition and increase purchase frequency and customer lifetime value thanks to its suite of peer-to-peer and business-to-consumer customer acquisition, engagement, retention and reactivation products. Its award-winning Send with SmartGift product is used by consumers across leading brands to make every gift perfect.

Episcopal Relief & Development’s 2020 Lenten Meditations Support ONE THOUSAND DAYS OF LOVE

Episcopal Relief & Development celebrates the spiritual lives of children and how they inspire the spiritual lives of adults in the organization's 2020 Lenten Meditations, now available in both English and Spanish at http://www.episcopalrelief.org/lent. In September 2019, the organization embarked on a three-year fundraising campaign, ONE THOUSAND DAYS OF LOVE, in order to expand its global work with children. Read this for more information.

"As we save children, we save ourselves, we save our world," said the Most Rev. Michael B. Curry, Presiding Bishop and Primate of The Episcopal Church. "This Lent, I invite supporters to join Episcopal Relief & Development in focusing on the spiritual lessons we can learn from the children in our lives and around the world."

Through a partnership with Grow Christians, the 2020 Lenten Meditations focus on the gifts of children in the poignant and joyous recollections and reflections of educators, caregivers, parents and grandparents from around The Episcopal Church.

"More than a decade ago, General Convention asked Episcopalians to remember and support Episcopal Relief & Development during Lent. Since then, our annual observance of a holy Lent has been made more meaningful by remembering their lifesaving work around the globe," said the Rev. Gay Clark Jennings, president, House of Deputies for The Episcopal Church and contributor to the Lenten Meditations. "Each year, I am grateful for the daily meditation booklet and online devotional that forms part of my Lenten discipline and for those across the church who contribute to it."

Globally, 155 million children under the age of six are not able to reach their full potential because of inadequate nutrition, health care and other critical essentials.

Episcopal Relief & Development partners with communities to ensure children have access to food, clean water and quality health care. The 2020 Lenten Meditations support ONE THOUSAND DAYS OF LOVE to expand the organization's programs that focus on children.

The Lenten Meditations are available as printed booklets, daily email meditations and, new this year, as audio podcasts. To have printed copies of the Lenten Meditations by Ash Wednesday, March 6, orders must be received by Forward Movement by Friday, February 14. Orders may be placed by visiting http://www.ForwardMovement.org or calling 1.800.543.1813.

Yamaha Showcases STORIA Acoustic Guitars Featuring Distinctive Look for Recreational Players

Yamaha today showcased STORIA, a series of three acoustic-electric guitars that are as fashionable as they are enjoyable to play. Designed with beginning and potential players in mind, their inviting body contours, slim necks, comfortable string height, and smooth fingerboard edges make them easy to pick up and play when inspiration arises, while at the same time their stylish color combinations make visual statements that enhance any living space.

STORIA Series guitars are more than simply attractive instruments for beginners, however. In addition to their appealing finishes, tasteful inlay work, and champagne gold tuners, they feature superb workmanship, solid tops, brass bridge pins, and Yamaha® SRT passive undersaddle pickups, which provide a warm and natural-sounding acoustic tone when the guitars are amplified. All three STORIA models have FS (Concert) body shapes with mahogany backs and sides, nato necks with walnut fingerboards, urea nuts and saddles, and 25" scale lengths. Complementary inside colors and sound hole inlays complete the designs.

STORIA I has a solid Sitka spruce top with an off-white semi-gloss finish and ivory body binding. The mahogany back and sides have a natural finish, the inside is light blue and the rosette is inlaid with ivory and mahogany. The guitar has a clear yet rich sound.

STORIA II has a solid mahogany top with a natural semi-gloss finish and a 3/16" (5mm) beveled edge. The mahogany back and sides also have a natural finish, the inside is ultramarine and the rosette is inlaid with ivory and abalone. The mahogany top, sides, and back give the guitar a warm yet well-balanced sound.

STORIA III has a solid mahogany top with a chocolate-brown gloss finish and black body binding. The mahogany back and sides also have a chocolate-brown finish, the inside is wine red and the rosette has ivory, red wine, and black inlays. The mahogany top, sides, and back give the guitar a warm yet well-balanced sound.

"There is a segment of today's younger generation that craves an outlet for creativity and self-expression without aspiring to be the next guitar hero," said Shannon McKee, product marketing manager, Yamaha Guitar Group. "STORIA answers that need with aesthetically-pleasing guitars that appeal to fashion-conscious, casual new players."

All STORIA guitars include a one-month subscription to FourChords, a guitar-learning app for iOS® and Android® that offers chord charts, lyrics, backing tracks, tutorials, and a tuner.

Pricing and Availability
Yamaha STORIA acoustic guitars are now shipping. Pricing is $653.00 (MSRP).

Yamaha FG Red Label Acoustic Guitars Merge Timeless Design with Cutting-Edge Technology

Yamaha today showcased the FG Red Label series of acoustic guitars, blending the vintage, handcrafted design of iconic early Yamaha instruments with the company's cutting-edge technological innovation in wood conditioning and true-to-life sound reproduction.

These guitars are inspired by the original FG Red Label acoustic guitars of the 1960s, the company's very first steel-string guitars, which became widely known for their high-end Japanese craftsmanship. The new folk guitars retain the retro aesthetic and classic tone of their predecessors, while adding a new pickup system and the company's proprietary wood aging process to create a guitar that sounds like a seasoned, vintage instrument right out of the box.

All models in the FG Red Label line are crafted with solid Sitka spruce tops, mahogany back and sides, and ebony fingerboards. The top is reinforced with scalloped bracing, a specialized latticework to enhance tone and projection. The overall design evokes the look and feel of the original FG Red Label models launched in 1966 under the Nippon Gakki name that preceded the present-day Yamaha brand. Over the years, the models in this original line have come to represent the quintessential Yamaha acoustic guitar.

Selected models in this guitar line are equipped with the Yamaha Atmosfeel™ pickup and preamp system, a hardware innovation endowing the guitar with a uniquely natural plugged-in sound. Atmosfeel employs a three-way sensor setup, with a piezo sensor to capture sound where the strings meet the bridge, an internal microphone to gather the resonance inside the guitar body and a sheet sensor to pick up the vibrations of the topboard. These three components work together to produce a multidimensional sound with additional nuance and depth, offering a more complete representation of the guitar's true sound.

The FG Red Label's top is treated with the company's proprietary Acoustic Resonance Enhancement, a patented chemical-free process that uses precise control of temperature, humidity and pressure to alter the structure of wood at a sub-cellular level, transforming it into the same material as would be found on a guitar that has been played for many years. Benefits include increased resonance, longer bass sustain, and greater midrange and high-frequency responsiveness.

"The iconic Yamaha folk guitar has evolved into an instrument with a unique retro vibe and design enhanced by the latest advances in guitar technology," said Yoh Watanabe, director of marketing, Guitars, Yamaha. "The new FG Red Label guitar inspires artists to make music that rises above the limitations of a conventional guitar, with warm, seasoned tones and rich harmonics for a pure, powerful performance, plugged or unplugged."
