Kids' Hit Kit makes sweet music
"Dorling Kindersley (DK) has published an innovative learning title for music-makers, called The Hit Kit. Aimed at children and assembled by Grammy-award-winning record producer Steve Levine ( whose credits include Culture Club and Ziggy Marley), The Hit Kit offers tools to make music on a computer.
"It constists of a 24-page booklet, which features set-up and audio-production advice from Levine. It also ships with an exclusive, stripped-down but fully functional version of Emagic's industry-standard music-production software, Logic Audio; a CD of drum and percussion samples; and a dynamic microphone.
"The version of Logic Audio in the box has been specially developed for The Hit Kit. It offers support for 16 MIDI tracks, eight audio tracks, eight audio instruments and contains a software synthesizer. The software is compatible with OS X, OS 9 and Windows. The Hit Kit costs £25 including VAT. It is expected to be in full view at MacExpo 2003."
Mac World Review - December 03
Sunday Times Five Star Review"The Hit Kit says it contains everything you need to record your first number-one hit. For £25 that sounds a bit far fetched, but it's actually not far off. In the box you'll find a pro-quality microphone, an audio CD of drum tracks, a guide book by record producer Steve Levine and a CD of Logic Audio. This impressive software lets you record, mix and edit tracks using a PC as though you were in a professional studio. You'll have hours of fun creating cool sounds - even if they don't quite get you on Top Of The Pops." - The Sunday Times
