Software

Pulpmotion Advanced is really worth a look at. It is a photostory style package and complements the original software called Pulpmotion which is mention in a previous post (sample outcome from PodKids). The company Aquafadas have created a number of packages that are worth downloading as demos.

Screen Capture Packages

iShowU works in OS 10.4 +

Thes next two packages only work in OS 10.5

ScreenFlow

Snapz Pro

Hardware

Easi-Speak Microphones

Excellent for capturing interviews around school and then placing mp3 files into Garageband for production. Please ensure that file name had .mp3 in lowercase!!!!

Korg Nano Key & Kord Nano Pad

If you are interested in finding out more about these, particularly if you are an Apple RTC, then please contact joemoretti@mac.com

I have just had a quick look at these and they look and feel really good. They won’t improve my musical ability but will mean that I can carry around a set of 6 keyboards and Macs to do projects without have to spend a week in hospital afterwards. The Key and Pad models plug straight into Garageband and are very simple to set up.

There is only one way of describing this – Excellent, easy and an important feature is excellent sound quality.
