Available 3-31-2008 the Moog Minimoog Voyager Old School Analog Synth may be out of reach for most people ($2400), but if have the necessary scratch, this classic old school analog synth is incredibly powerful and cannot be touched by many modern digital synth (even high end models).

Opinion: Can Britney Spears Make a Comeback?

March 2nd, 2008 Music News | Post a Comment »

It seems that every day a new horror is written about the crazy life of once pop princess Britney Spears. 
I’m curious if you think it is even possible for her to stage a comeback at this point.  I’m really not sure myself.
On one hand public displays of controversy seem to be having a positive impact […]

Review: Peterson BodyBeat BB-1 Pulsing Metronome

February 25th, 2008 Music News, Ronz Gear Reviews | 2 Comments »

I am very impressed with the concept behind this particular metronome and felt that it deserved a little discussion here on our website. This is not your ordinary metronome.
Sure, it has plenty of standard features that I am sure you are already used to, such as very simple controls and accurate tones. Peterson’s […]

Review: Gorilla Snot - Who Even Drops Guitar Picks?

February 22nd, 2008 Music News | Post a Comment »

While this item is certainly nothing new, I must admit that I myself have never heard of anyone in reality actually using this stuff. Gorilla Snot claims to improve your playing by using a low grade polymer which will allow your guitar pick to stick to your fingers better than those crusty socks under your […]

Review: Toontrack dfh EZdrummer Multi Layer Drum Sampler

February 5th, 2008 Music News | Post a Comment »

What I love about this software package is that Toontrack has a great way of ultra sampling their sounds which I find makes this software sound so darn realistic. 
The samples sound very rich and Toontrack has gone to great lengths to make them sound raw and not over produced, allowing the user to go ahead […]

Review: Native Instruments GUITAR RIG 3 KONTROL Edition

February 5th, 2008 Music News | Post a Comment »

Now this is what I call software/hardware integration.  For Wiser-Rocker’s full blown review of Native Instruments GUITAR RIG 3 KONTROL Edition click here. 
Essentially, this Kontrol edition is fantastic only if you do not own the original Guitar Rig software, as you don’t want to be buying two sets of expensive software.  Includes all the same […]

Review: Propellerhead REASON 4.0 Music Production Software

February 5th, 2008 Music News | Post a Comment »

Just got the specs on the new version of Propellerhead’s very popular line of REASON music production software. 
The big differences here, it appears, are
1) you are going to need a slightly more powerful computer
2) you get faster and more reliable software
3) and more sounds than you could shake a musical stick at.  
While I do love […]

(Click here to read our previous review of this ground breaking new device) 
Musician’s Friend, which had originally released this item at a price of $56.00, has just reduced it to $39.99.  This reduction will most likely be the selling point for anyone on the fence about the Vox Amplug AC30 Headphone Amp. I want to buy […]

Top Five Unconventional Guitarists of All Time (w/ Audio)

January 23rd, 2008 Music News | Post a Comment »

We like to challenge ourselves here at Wiser-Rocker. Someone smart once said that a reviewer tells more about himself through a positive review than anything substantive regarding his subject. The following guitarists are definitely MY favorite and you may have valid disagreements with […]
