Headline: New Guitar Plugin Turns Hacks Into Shredders

Vancouver, CANADA. macProVideo.com, an Online Education Site featuring tutorial-videos for music makers, today announces a new guitar plugin called "Phoenix Pro" that is guaranteed to turn novice guitar players into rockstars. In partnership with Phoenix Digital Audio Teknologies of Germany, macProVideo.com's team of in-house programmers have created a true, revolutionary audio DSP processor that can physically model the sound of top guitar pros like Eddie Van Halen, Jimi Hendrix, or BB King and apply them to any guitar recording, no matter the skill level of the original player.

According to macProVideo.com CEO Martin Sitter, "As a software education company that works daily to help artists become better musicians, we're constantly looking for quick ways to help our clients get that huge, polished pro sound. With the new Phoenix Pro DSP Plugin, we've designed an incredible physical modelling processor that will allow even the roughest and most amateur guitar recording to 'rise from the ashes' and soar like a Phoenix."

A plugin like Phoenix Pro has long been considered the Holy Grail of audio production. Through complex algorithms (called "Morphic Phrasing Technology") designed by the legendary guitar engineer Toby Pitman, Phoenix Pro provides detailed control over all major aspects of getting that "big" guitar sound, including player Skill Level, Dexterity, Groove, and Complexity. Players can also choose between several different styles, turning poor-quality guitar recordings into Rock, Jazz, Reggae, or Country masterpieces. With 12 popular guitar playing styles available at the dial of a knob, Phoenix Pro's genre-mashing is guaranteed to become the centrepiece audio DSP plugin of every project studio.

Ease of use was a primary concern for Toby Pitman and the macProVideo.com team when designing Phoenix Pro. To use the plugin, Guitar players simply record a one-take pass of their riff, then insert Phoenix Pro on the track containing the recording. Through a few simple adjustments to the plugin parameters, and then a twist of the giant "Amount" knob, the artist can "dial-in" the sound they are looking for, turning a thin studio recording into a monster, arena-shaking anthem.

Available for audio engineers & guitar players of any skill level (though targeted mostly at beginners or those too lazy to do the work required to get the sound they're after), Phoenix Pro is designed for use with all major DAWs including GarageBand, Logic Pro, Pro Tools, Ableton Live, Reason, and Cubase.

Phoenix Pro needs to be heard to be believed. macProVideo.com, in conjunction with Toby Pitman and Phoenix Digital Audio Teknologies, have produced a demo video that shows you how this incredible DSP processor functions. Watch the video here.
