The Deal: HowAudio.com is giving you the chance to win 1 of 3 Mixcraft Recording Studio Software Packages.

Here’s some info about Mixcraft:

Mixcraft is a multi-track audio recording program, that allows you to record and play multiple tracks of audio and MIDI virtual instruments at the same time. Add effect processing such as reverb, delay, guitar amp simulator, flanger or any 3rd party VST™ or DirectX™ effects. Hook up a MIDI keyboard and you can play a whole studio full of virtual synthesizers! As remix software, it supports Apple Loops™, Acid Loops™ and our own custom loop format. Mixcraft’s Song Kits allow you to create your own song in dozens of styles to sing along or rap to. Creating your own loop or extracting a loop from a well known song is a few clicks away. With Mixcraft, you can always be on the beat! When you’ve finished your project, mix down your music to CD or MP3 directly in Mixcraft! Even with all this power.

Entry Deadline: July 31, 2008.

The Deal: Before I get into specifics about this deal, I want to throw out a personal endorsement of this product. During the day, I work for BurstMarketing, a podcast publishing agency in Denver. I spend a good amount of my time running around town recording interviews and events that will eventually become podcasts.

The trusty digital recorder that I use for all of these events is an Edirol R-09 24-Bit Wave/MP3 Recorder. The sound quality is great, it’s very compact, and I can record tons of audio. For instance, I record most events as a 128kbps MP3, and with a 2GB flash card, I can record about 25 hours of audio before it’s full.

So, if you’re in the market for a good quality digital field recorder, this might be the time to pick one up. Edirol is offering a $50 Rebate and a free leather case with tripod through the end of June.
Expires: June 30, 2008
MSRP: $450.00
Regular Price: $399.99
