To celebrate the release of Total Studio 3 MAX and the opening of IK Multimedia's new U.S. recording facility, we're continuing our series of livestreams this week with a focus on IK's Hammond B-3X, the first real Hammond organ for Mac/PC.

Host Dave "Squids" Kerzner will begin with an overview of Hammond B-3X and how it fits into Total Studio 3 MAX. Later he'll pose a question that could enable you to win a copy of Hammond B-3X for yourself. So take notes and don't miss that.

Guests on the show will be songwriter and producer Erik Blu2th Griggs and producer Lil' Ronnie Jackson. IK's Derrick Floyd will speak with both about their favorite features in Hammond B-3X and how they each use it to great success in their music production.

Learn how to get the most from Hammond B-3X and Total Studio 3 MAX. Join Dave, Derrick and two special guests this Friday, April 16, at 5 p.m. ET/2 p.m. PT.
