If video is a priority you will be better served with Panasonic’s excellent DMC-GX8, given its advanced video capabilities and 4K video. The only quibbles I have are the time needed to wake the viewfinder from sleep mode, and the video capabilities are behind some competitors. I posted the original column about the E-P1 on my site so you can see the similarities. Using it reminded me of my initial experience with the first Olympus digital PEN, the E-P1. The great feel, combined with the classic form factor and array of creative controls really makes photography fun and rewarding. The PEN-F offers a tactile experience unmatched at the price.

Among its many features are an electronic viewfinder, a new 20 MP sensor, five-axis image stabilization, 50 MP high resolution mode, and a front-mounted creative dial that allows you to quickly choose between Olympus Art Filters, different color profiles and film modes that duplicate the look of classic black and white and color films. The PEN-F’s premium construction and vintage rangefinder styling remind me of a Leica M camera when I hold it. The PEN-F is easily the best Olympus PEN camera yet, and one of the most satisfying cameras you can buy. I was shown the PEN-F at a private press meeting at the electronics show, and several weeks later was able to spend two weeks taking pictures with one. That may change with the new Olympus PEN-F. With the integrated viewfinders, advanced capabilities and high value equation, the OM-D line tends to get the most attention from both the media and from consumers.

The live view PEN series cameras are styled like rangefinder cameras, but until now lacked an integrated viewfinder. The OM-D series cameras have an SLR form factor and a built-in electronic viewfinder. Consumer Electronics Show report: Olympus has two lines of Micro Four Thirds cameras.

VinylStudio is available for Mac and Windows systems. I like it a lot more than Audacity and though it is optimized for converting records, it works with cassettes as well. What I do recommend is you pass on Audacity for digitizing the vinyl and use AlpineSoft VinylStudio ($29.95) instead. I am open to ideas if any readers have other suggestions. Though I do not like iTunes nearly as much as I used to, as a Mac user I still find it the best option. Is iTunes the best way to organize and play these files?Ī. What is the best way to store and listen to these treasures? I don’t want to burn any more CDs. I have been digitizing my cassettes using Audacity. But you can choose a subscription instead-for as little as $1/month-that gives you upgrades for life.Q. If you pay less than $45, you don't get access to all future upgrades. If you do buy Ardour, you can essentially pay what you want for it-even as low as $1.

The free version periodically goes silent after 10 minutes, which is enough time to let you try the app but also enough of a nuisance to make you want to buy it. Note that Ardour has an unusual pricing structure.

Although it may be too complex for simple podcasts or quick audio fixes. It's perfect for composers, musicians, and sound engineers. With Ardour you can record inputs, edit waveforms in a number of ways, splice and mix multiple waveforms together, and use hundreds of plugins to expand those functions. If Ocenaudio is too barebones for you, Ardour is another solid option. Even in this post, the only other Audacity alternative that works on Linux is Ocenaudio. It's hard to find high-quality creative apps on Linux, and the realm of audio editing is no exception.
