Seems like everyone just wants a taste: Sony entered the high-stakes world of USB turntables earlier this week with their own entry, the PS-LX300USB. The consumer-focused belt-driven turntable doesn’t have the extras to compete with DJ products like the Stanton T.90, but does offer the same features as the competing ION TTUSB10 – for $50 less at retail.
Sony has another leg up on ION, too: their recording bundle includes Sound Forge Audio Studio, a lighter version of the Sound Forge 9 recording program that has far longer (and more impressive) pedigree than Audacity, ION’s recording program of choice. Better software, lower price; we get the feeling Sony will be grabbing a nice slice of market share.Permanent Link
