FxFactory 2 from Noise Industries (http://www.noiseindustries.com) may be the future of Adobe After Effects plug-ins. The concept will be familiar to anyone who has tried the Apple iTunes Store.

Kool Tools: Shure 315 earbuds

Sometimes when you’re listening to your tunes or using your iPhone, you want to feel isolated. Sound isolated, that is. Enter the US$199.95 SE315 earbuds (http://www.shure.com/americas/products/earphones-headphones/se-models/se315-sound-isolating-earphones) from Shure. The SE is for “sound isolating.”

The SE315 sports High-Definition MicroDrivers and utilizes a vented driver. A detachable cable with formable wire can be easily replaced in case of damage. Sound Isolating sleeves — available in black or clear — in multiple sizes provide up to 37 dB of isolation and a customized fit.
