Audio Industry for MusiCares COVID-19 Relief
Soren (aka Luftrum) is a well-known sound designer from Denmark. The past ten years he has organized a charitable fundraising in October, asking companies in the audio industry for software and hardware donations to be placed on auction for a good cause. That way, they have raised more than $185.000 for Save the Children, $17.000 for Plastic Oceans and $30.000 for WWF over the years.
COVID-19 has had an impact on everything this year, including our music industry. It has affected thousands of composers, producers and music creators who are left with an uncertain future, so this year we are giving back to our peers by raising funds to MusiCares COVID-19 Relief.
MusiCares COVID-19 Relief is a partnership between MusiCares and the Recording Academy (GRAMMY) and has helped upwards of 18.000 music industry artists and professionals affected by the pandemic, focusing on the most pressing needs and prioritizing those who experience a medical, dental, mental health, insurance, substance abuse or eviction crisis.
Throughout October you will be able to bid on DAW’s, plugins, Eurorack modules, effect bundles, sample libraries etc. Currently some 20 developers are already contributing and there are stuff from Sonokinetic, MeldaProduction, Voxengo, Noiiz, Celemony and many more and everyday during October new contributions will be added and everything starts at $5.

Safe Spacer accurately detects when other Safe Spacer units come within 2m/6ft*, alerting wearers with a choice of visual, vibrating or audio alarm. Using Ultra-wideband technology, Safe Spacer offers accuracy up to 10x better than Bluetooth, and also gives users the option to store “collision” data to monitor compliance or perform fast contact tracing.
Users can choose from a range of lanyard, wristband, and belt loop options to adapt to any workplace without compromising existing safety protocols.
To help organizations manage multiple devices, the optional S-Charger docking/charging station allows up to 25 Safe Spacers to charge simultaneously. The S-Charger can be connected to a computer running Safe Spacer’s free software to retrieve compliance and collision data, customize settings and more.
For organizations wanting more real-time compliance data, Safe Spacer can also sync wirelessly via the optional S-Bridge UWB access unit. It can be positioned in strategic locations, such as entry or exit points, to read the data from Safe Spacer devices as users approach, eliminating the need for long employee queues to download their device data.
Both the S-Bridge and S-Charger can connect to any computer via USB, and the free Safe Spacer software will extract this data for review, analysis and if needed, contact tracing. To maintain high privacy standards, no data except the device’s ID and proximity is stored on the device; associating IDs with wearers’ names is completely optional.
Safe Spacer and all related accessories are now available directly from IK Multimedia. An online guide assists users in selecting the best options for their organization’s requirements and lets them request a personal consultation with the Safe Spacer team.
