FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


GC PRO HELPS NOTED TV AND FILM COMPOSER
“SCORE” WITH EUPHONIX MC

— GC Pro guides composer Paul Dinletir to a new Euphonix MC Media Application Controller and more as part of a successful long-term relationship —

121st AES CONVENTION, SAN FRANCISCO, CA, October 6, 2006 — Paul Dinletir, whose music scores can be heard on numerous film trailers, animated series and reality-TV programs, has purchased a Euphonix MC Media Application Controller through GC Pro, the outside sales division of Guitar Center, Inc. (Nasdaq: GTRC) that focuses on the needs of professional users. The new Euphonix equipment, installed at Dinletir’s PM Productions studio in Burbank, California, allows Dinletir to switch easily between the Logic-based software he uses for composing and recording scores, and the Digidesign® Pro Tools|HD® 6 system he uses for editing and mixing. Serving to underscore Dinletir’s longstanding relationship with GC Pro is the fact that all of this equipment was purchased from GC Pro over the course of several years.

“I’ve bought a ton of equipment from GC Pro in the past, and the salesperson who handles my account, Robb Zenn, has always been there for me no matter what I need; I’ve worked with him for eight years now,” says Dinletir, whose scores can be heard on animated series including My Life as a Teenage Robot and Samurai Jack, movie trailers like Chronicles of Narnia, King Kong and Spider-Man, along with hit reality shows such as the first and second seasons of Hell’s Kitchen, Paradise Hotel and The Swan.

“It’s all about support, really,” Dinletir continues. “I get treated like a professional. If there’s a piece of gear I want, I send Robb an email and it’s there waiting for me to pick it up. If I need to know more about a piece of gear, Robb does the research and hooks me up with the manufacturer. If a piece of equipment goes down and I’m on a tight deadline, I’ve got a loaner to get me through on a moment’s notice. Everything is a phone call away. GC Pro has the ability to make things happen. That’s critical when you’re creating music for picture in television and film. GC Pro understands the gear, certainly, but more importantly, I think, they understand what I do and what I need to do it.”
