It's a TV talent show here in the UK but X Factor means something else to Yamaha who have just announced the new
X Factor DVD to be
bundled with all music production products beginning in January 2008. They tell us that this DVD and its accompanying website (
www.XfactorVST.com) represent over 1.3 Gigabytes of sounds, samples, software and special rebates and coupons
worth thousands of dollars.
Yamaha say that the X Factor is the “neXus� for Yamaha music production customers, Steinberg Cubase AI users and best in class VST and
digital content providers to come together in a community and provide essential tools for music production.
