Great turnout for the Raise Your Level tour

Thanks to everyone who came to Studio West / TRAC last night for Digidesign's San Diego stop of the Raise Your Level tour! We all got an eyeful - and earful - of the D-Command, as well as a Transfuser demo. The folks from Digi gave away a copy of Transfuser to one lucky attendee, and we provided a gift certificate for $100 off training or studio time (winner to be announced on tracsd.com later today!).

(For a user review - or preview - of transfuser check out this ProToolerBlog post.
