Windows 7, tuned by Rain for creative computing
Squeeze every drop of performance out of your creative software. By carefully tuning the operating system for audio and video production, Rain has created a Windows 7 that's stable, compatible and perfectly suited for the software you use to make audio and video.
There's a difference between compatible and "compatible". The second one means it technically works with your operating system but who knows how well. There's no need to wonder with Event and Windows 7. Install your software and see how it was really meant to work.
Rain users know there's really no good time to crash. That's especially true in the middle of a show or during a recording session. Stability is key and Event's got it in spades with a specially tuned version of Windows 7 designed to make sure you can stay in the creative zone.
Using a custom BIOS makes a big difference in the performance of Event. By carefully tuning your system at the very deepest level, we're able to eek out more power and ensure a more stable and compatible environment. Add your software and hardware. You'll feel the difference.
Quiet Cool Design
You want to hear your music, not your computer. Event uses a unique system called Quiet Cool Design. Intelligent cooling that stays quiet, materials that won't let heat get trapped inside, and a balanced component architecture to prevent bottlenecks. What's left? Just crystal clear digital audio like it was meant to be.
Go ahead and concentrate on the music. Event will spend its time thinking about the internal ambient temperature to make sure that failure is really not an option. When everything is normal, the large diameter fans spin nice and slow, moving torrents of air without making noise. Kick your session into overdrive and Event will make sure it accounts for the extra heat accordingly.
It's not just about preventing audio glitches and dropouts. The data bottlenecks that cause those things also cause extra heat inside the system. When everything is turned up to 11, the last thing you need is system failure from overheating. Event makes sure that never happens.
Compact size
Event doesn't need much space. Just slide it into your studio and connect a monitor. Hit that little, blue button and watch the screen jump to life, inviting you to start making music your way. It's a sleek little rectangle that looks like no other audio computer. A soft, blue glow from Event's face means it's on and ready to rock. So go ahead and pull the included keyboard and mouse a little closer. Strap on a set of ear goggles and create something the world has never heard before.
Event may be small, but it's well equipped. With USB 2.0 and Super Speed USB 3.0 ports you've got instant access to streaming up to 4.8 gigabits per second to and from your external hard drive, audio interface and peripherals. Connect multiple HD displays with HDMI and DVI. You can even set up a 7.1 surround sound system.
Designed to work with your audio gear
You don't have to lift a finger to turn this into a music makin' machine. We already did all the heavy lifting. The only thing left to do is hook up your sound card, grab a guitar and do that thing you do. The bottom line is, it just works. And that means you can spend all your time thinking about the music you're making, not the computer you're making it on.
It's your DJ controller, Mbox, printer, keyboard and USB coffee mug warmer. There's always something to plug in. That's why Event includes an array of USB 2.0 and Super Speed USB 3.0 ports for high speed streaming. You've also got multiple outputs for multiple monitors and surround sound audio for the ultimate multimedia experience.
There will come a day when you're no longer satisfied with an acoustic guitar and two vocals (not that there's anything wrong with that). When that day comes, when you absolutely must add in the strings, brass, woodwinds and percussion all at once, it's nice to know you can get a bigger high performance hard drive, increase your memory and even add in a PCI Express expansion card to get you from here to there without changing computers.
Support for creative people
Event includes a free 30-day trial of our world-class RainCare Encompass Creative Computer Support. That means you've got the Rain Team to help you get the very best performance and stability from your Event and all software and hardware you use with it. Because when it comes down to it, you want to make music, not worry about the technology. Rain helps you stay in the creative zone. This is what it's like when your computer can keep up with your creativity.
