Rain LiveBook audio notebook line for DJs & Musicians on display at Best Buy

LiveBook and LiveBook Zephyr Mobile Audio Workstations Installed At Hundreds Of Best Buy Locations As Platform For DJ Software and Hardware From Native Instruments, Numark, Rane and Stanton

RINGWOOD, NJ - February, 2010 - Rain Computers today announced their LiveBook series of Mobile Audio Workstations are now on display at over 200 Best Buy locations as part of the world famous retailer’s new DJ experience. The award-winning LiveBook and LiveBook Zephyr Mobile Audio Workstations combined with popular DJ software and hardware from Native Instruments, Numark and Stanton, represent the complete digital evolution of modern DJs.

The DJ community has experienced a major shift from standard equipment like turntables, records and CDs to a more streamlined, digital format. DJs can now carry thousands of songs on a hard drive, mix and scratch on USB hardware, and control the entire experience from a powerful notebook computer. In addition to the classic DJ is an ever-expanding community of karaoke and video jockeys as well as turntablists, those who use record players as a rhythm instrument.

And while popular DJ software and hardware does offer universal compatibility, not all computers are created equal. Rain Computers, maker of high performance audio and video computers used by such notables as Disney, Public Enemy and The US Olympic Committee, was chosen by Best Buy to create a powerful, stable and reliable platform for their new DJ experience. Rain’s LiveBook is installed in hundreds of Best Buy locations to demonstrate the ideal Digital DJ system including software like Native Instruments’ Traktor and Serato by Rane (no relation to Rain Computers). Also connected to LiveBook is the new generation of digital DJ mixers and turntables by Stanton and Numark.

“We’re really excited to bring Rain’s mission of creative empowerment to the DJ community” said Kevin Jacoby, CEO of Rain Computers. “DJs truly understand why failure is not an option. When you’ve got a club full of people thriving on every beat, the last thing you need is your music to stop when you don’t want it to. It’s Rain’s job to make sure the gear is working perfectly so you can just concentrate on making great music.”

An expanded offering of Rain desktop, rackmount and notebook audio computers are now at over two hundred Best Buy locations and available online at BestBuy.com starting at $1199.
