Acknowledgements It is with the utmost gratitude that I thank my brother, the anthropologist Ruy Blanes for his unwavering support, sympathetic guidance and most of all, his humor. His knowledge was a lifeline, for I could always count on his informed opinion, but his greatest aid was in letting me make my own mistakes, and then hinting at various ways to resolve them. It showed me that he was convinced that I was capable of finding my way out of the dead ends, and would overcome the trials and tribulations of writing a thesis. Thank you for believing in me, my brother. To my dear advisor, professor João Soeiro de Carvalho, I have nothing but words of gratitude. You showed unbridled gusto in my research and helped me trod along with unending patience, aware of my limitations in time, experience and knowledge. It was with great delight that I experienced our joint (ad)venture, and I am indebted to you for your kindness, your wisdom and your empathy.

It was hot in Nashville this summer, both outside and inside the Nashville Convention Center where the latest NAMM Show took place. Yes, there was more great new gear on display (no surprise) and we were there to docu- ment the event for all of you. From sophisticated synths CREATE NOW WHILE to great guitars to the newest groove making modules, BUILDING FOR THE FUTURE! you’ll find our complete report inside! — SEE PAGE 3 With all the home, project and pro studio recording options out there, it’s tough to know where to start. Of course you want something powerful and flexible that fits within your budget. But an equally important necessity is to start with a system that will grow with you as your needs grow. We could get into a lengthy discussion of hard disk recording vs. tape-based recording, but that’s an issue for another forum. Let’s just say you want a flexible solution that will allow you to expand as your needs (and budget) change. Now call us partial if you’d like, but we do sell an awful lot of Digidesign products. And we’ve had tremen- dous support from the company, not to mention overwhelming responses from customers who have bought their hardware and software. So when we tell you about their great new products, we’ll admit up front that we’re a bit biased. But please, read on and judge for yourself .
