The Mount Airy Middle School Lady Bears clinched a very sweet victory yesterday winning all singles and doubles matches against the Chestnut Grove Trojans. They clinched yet again the Foothills Conference Championship tennis title and remain undefeated in both singles and doubles for the season.
The victory was especially sweet because it marked a 100-game-in-a-row winning streak for the Lady Bears. This gives the middle school tennis powerhouse a record of 108-2 overall. Both losses were in 2003 and the team has won the Foothills Conference Championship title for 10 years in a row.
They celebrated their final victory of the season with signs, balloons, cake and parents congratulating them and the Lady Bears on their triumphant success.
Laken Joyce, head coach of the Chestnut Grove Trojans, said her team is young and building and knew they were going to be facing a very experienced team in the Lady Bears.
How do these Lady Bears get this kind of record? Lady Bears Coach Mary Alice Hayes attributes part of it to their tennis motto stated simply, "Tradition, pride and excellence." Further, said Hayes, "I have been very blessed to work with this group of girls."
Hayes noted the importance of fundamentals in practice at the "middle school level." Consistency is key, she said, and further elaborated on the importance of it being taken seriously at this level in order to compete aggressively at the high school level.
The Lady Bears 10-year record is as follows: 2003 — 8-2; 2004 — 10-0; 2005 — 10-0; 2006 — 10-0; 2007 — 10-0; 2008 — 12-0; 2009 — 12-0; 2010 — 12-0; 2011 — 12-0; 2012 — 12-0.
In the match up yesterday, number one seated Bailey Jackson defeated Caroline Pulliam 8-0; number seated Baylee Atkins defeated Stephanie Henry 8-0; Elizabeth Marion defeated Laicey Sawyers 8-1; Logan King defeated Ashley Mabe 8-0; and Madison Wright defeated Lesly Marroquin 8-0. Lady Bears doubles with Jackson and Atkins beat Pulliam and Henry 8-0, and King and Wright defeated Sawyers and Marroquin 8-1. The number three doubles match was a forfeit because Chestnut Grove did not have enough players.
Bears player Logan King, who has gone undefeated every game this season, said she loves playing tennis and winning. King said that Coach Hayes is a good coach because "she cheers us on every match and never gives up."
James Hayes, Mary Alice's husband, celebrated with pride Monday the victory shared by his wife and her teammates. He is also a retired boys basketball, football and tennis coach and remarked about the passion both he and his wife share for the sport. Both were basketball coaches when they met, but it is tennis that has dominated their passion in the end.
Middle School Athletic Director Ricky Vernon said, "We are very proud of our team and honored to have Coach Hayes on our staff. We are so proud of what they have done for men and women's tennis. I think their names are synonymous with tennis in Mount Airy."
Middle school teacher Tina Vanhoy, whose daughter Carley Vanhoy now plays high school tennis, said she really appreciates the dedication that Mary Alice Hayes and her husband have shown the middle school tennis players. Carley said that Coach Hayes "always pushed and helped us to do our best."
Teams in the middle school Foothills Conference are Piney Grove, Chestnut Grove, Southeastern, Central, Pilot Mountain, Meadowview, Gentry and Mount Airy. The Lady Bears finish out the season with a 12-0 record.

RegistratiCredit troubles atypical: Collingswood in peril
By Jane Roh
Sept. 18, 2011
Collingswood's downgrade to junk status by the ratings agency Moody's may have raised questions about whether other New Jersey towns are in danger of seeing access to credit dry up.
Most are not.
Nine months after Wall Street analyst Meredith Whitney sparked a sell-off by predicting — in a "60 Minutes" segment — a massive crash in municipal bonds, the market is relatively stable.
"Although the economy has affected local government finances, it generally hasn't affected them strongly enough to cause defaults," said Mitchell Savader, CEO of Manhattan-based Savader Asset Advisors.
"We have had a negative outlook on both the local government and state sectors now for three years," said Jack Dorer of Moody's Investors Service. "No question there are pressures in the marketplace. But the vast majority of municipalities is holding up very well."

Good day to you all!
I just started with producing music (dark, psy, dubstep, dnb etc) yet my results are way more reasonable than anything else
The short version: I am an absolut noob!
If you don't mind helping a noob you may answer my questions!
1. How do I record a song (I'm using Ableton Live)? I mean not "how to press the record button", hehe, but still! I have fun producing nice sequences and scenes. But when it comes to record a whole song I get into trouble! I have no idea with what to start, what to record first and what to insert later (like transitions, intro, breaks between the scenes).
2. Do you use a whole new set for different parts of a song, or is it more like: Okay, I am having this kick, this bass and this hihat, snare etc and I just make a new combination, make a new sequence and add it after I recorded the part before that? And only the synth is changing?
3. My head is full of ideas when it comes to synth and lead (excuse my Ableton-marred vocabulary
How do I produce a synth-lead or bass that fits nicely into the song and gives it a dynamic feeling without sounding too volitionaly?
4. What happens between the first scene you created and the finished song? How do you build it, what comes first, what comes later?
Okay, that's it for now! Any suggestions, ideas and helpful little tricks are also most welcome!
Oh, and I know that some of my questions are hard to answer in general cause somebody might do it like this and somebody like that. So please try to share what u think might be good to know for a n00b like me
Thanks for all your effort, stay creative! BOOM!

hi bro i my self iam not a experient producer .... but i think i can leave u my toughts about this
1. cant help u eheh i dont use abelton lol
2.i think this is about ur creativity u can use difrents parts like eheh derango ! or u can stick with ur intruments and create an history
3.try to use vst instruments for leads pads ...like albino 3(rob papen) Vanguard (Refx) Zebra 2(u-he) Reaktor 5 (Native instruments) Battery 3(Native Instruments) etc...bass cronox 2 (Rob Papen) vb-1 (steinberg) Alien 303 (G-Sonique killa one eheh) etc...
then u need to learn about frequencies so u can make nice eq in ur tracks is very important this part if u know how 2 make nice eq ur sound will b alot more clear
use vst plug ins like waves to find nice tools for eq
4.well this is up to u also i think my way of production i try to create an history so first i kind of present the leads then i develop them till the end on the end i make and the breaks in the track is easier for me but again this is my way of u have to find ur self a kind of so u can also make something difrent in music not making what is already done
also add vst plug ins like glintch , live cut , camelspace ,obelisk etc... for fx
i hope i can be helpfull cuz iam also kind of a nooby in production lol
good productions

Thanks for the fast reply.
I think you've missed the point of my first question! Cause what I wanted to know is more like: what comes first? Should I first record all the basslines eg and than add the synth or vice versa? Only an example, I know that only recording eight minutes of basslines would be a very...uhm, unusual way to record, hehe...
Thanks for no 2,
then comes 3 and 4. Okay, I've never heard about any of those. And what do you mean by "u need a nice eq"? I know about eq only from vlc-player where you can control the low, mid and high frequences! What should this eq look like respectively what is it all about? Is it a feature, another effect, where can I control it? Oh, and after googling I see what vst-instruments are but I still don't really get the whole thing about them.
And what for should I add those vst plug ins? What exactly does they do?
Well, this sure helps me in some way! I'm looking forward for moar
Oh, and btw, I'm a sis

I´m not an expert i´m learning too but i have experience in architecture and design creative process so you never say ok first i´m gonna do the bass ,then the kick...Everything can guide you to what your product of your imagination can be.Sometimes you will be playing with some vst and you will thing this gonna serve myself to start, another time would be just a kick or percussion set so just relax and keep watching.Sometimes you will find this sound ,this structure that makes a song the thing it is, the reason because this song is this and not another one.Sorry i´m becoming some kinda mistic...hahahahaha
About intro breaks, just listen what you want!! there is no rules!!! In techno there was a count rules about count 16 or 32 beat and then song introduces changes but here we are talking about underground and psychedelic music so there is no rules....
If you use ableton i suggest this.Make an structure... a bass, a kick ,lead sound that you want,some killer samples and then begin to play it as live...Listen if you like it what you have record it preserves live fresh.Enjoy your sounds.The you can make up thing that you didn´t live.Actually nowadays ableton controllers work like this....For example this video...

Your vitals are stable!
Thu Nov 19, 2009 9:48 am
on earth
hey mate,
im on ableton too, and as it seems you´re not that familiar with it, i should maybe tell you the basic options you got
so first in ableton you can decide on your own if you want to write your track in sequences and tracks from the left to the right, like with most other daws (cubase,FLstudio,logic,etc.) OR simply create different loops,one shots (in ableton called clips). this is splitted into the basic two sections of ableton, the clipview and the arrangementview.
i use to work in arrangementview, so that i can go right on for arranging the stuff i create. but sometimes i feel more like i first need the basic stuff and putting after into arrangementview, which is just dragndrop to the desired view,so same vice versa
also is possible to just mark things in arrangementview and dragndrop only the marked stuff.
to the recording issue guess now, you can record after arrangeing stuff in arrangement view (and maybe export after, dont get the point why record?) or play around with the clips you created and record this (hit record and play around with the clips=D). you will see that ableton is recording the stuff you do in realtime in arrangementview. what you start to record or arrange and record after is up to you. think about other songs and their arrangement, compare and think about what they have in common (in your desired style). simple basic song structure of electronic music and trance is beginning-highlight-end, you just need to write the stuff between. so create some rising feelings in the beginning, where you´re working forward to the highlight in the middle and after this going for leaving the twisted area, let the song and the audience calm down and coming to an end. sure there are tons of possible ways to come up with really creative arrangements (just think about other music and combine the compositional things like arrangement with the sounds you made or whatever comes to your mind). maybe try this site here:
anyways, my way to start and go for things. usually i start with kickn bass:D but this is no rule and i have to agree that different stuff can lead you to a song or the idea for one. sometimes i dont feel like going for a new song and just work on sounds and patches. during the while and with the sound i did, which can be a simple sample/one shot sound or a drumloop i.e., i get an idea for a song and start with this sound i just did right before the idea came in and work on the stuff around
so it´s up to you to sort your ideas and find the most charming way (at least for you) to go for things.
to the second question i guess it´s completely different from artist to artist and in my case depending on mood and my feelings for doin a song right now or not. if i dont need to hurry because otherwise will loose my basic sound ideas (i usually dont have to hurry=D) i do each song with new stuff. thing is if im not working on a track im working on sounds and patches so that i always got enough stuff to work with. all depending on the day in my case. sometimes i take kicknbass and change it after , jsut to have some baseline for my track, but usually i start from scratch each track.....
to the third question i have to say you´re just at the beginning. most of artists doin really good music, creative and inspiring to others also, are doin this for years, these learn about this stuff for life.
it took me years to get only kicknbass in a way to work with and it will take me more years to get really stunning. at the end its up to you, but you have to earn a LOT about these things, reading books, learning, watching tutorials have discussions about music etc. but can tell you where i learned most and where to learn the basic things fastest way i guess....at least where i learned most in more or less time....
http://forum.isratrance.com/forum-produ ... ic-making/
have a look for musical theory sites, mine are german, sorry....
give this "Hands on Synthsound" dvd a try for learning basic things about synthesizers, what is a sound, how do we achieve different sounds by different synthesize techniques etc. there is also a "Hands on Ableton" version
sorry i have to say it will take you some while to even learn only the basic things. and a LOT about music theories etc to get these dynamic playground stuff done. maybe simple way you could get this is having your bass on a desired note i.e. F2, nice deep saw bass. now you go putting up a leadsound hitting the bass on the same frequency just two octaves higher, so at F4 maybe. also you could change different notes according to F scale or just put a few slightly hits or whaever. it would take ages to tell you all possibilities, you have to understand the basic stuff and see and learn the possibilities resulting from this.
to 4 i can only say same like above. no rules, up to you .....
on isratrance my advice to you would be having a look for what topics there are before posting questions about any stuff.
here are the basic ones:
http://forum.isratrance.com/sticky-most ... ul-topics/
i read there for years and learned mostly every stuff there or from the dvd above, from reading and watching tutorials for years and guess there will be no end =D never. you choosed a hobby you will never come to an end...
ah btw, did you read here on the forum before? i guess no, or you had at least tried my tutorial about the kindzadza leadsound here on triplag.
4/4, Kbbb, going crazy around, do some changes here and there, break the shit out of it and there you go. at the end you will learn that its quite easy and f@#king hard at the same time
EQ btw is something one should leave at beginning, same with compressors, it will take some more time to understand these tools and working with them. in 99% of all cases i heared, working from beginning will phuk up your sound. they can destroy all work if not set right and used wise. best case is you dont need them
at the end these tools are subtractive tools, which take something from your sound to make it different. but you´re dealing with lack of quality and loosing dynamics, so forget about eq and compression/limiting etc for now. my advice, try around and learn about them, but also try to avoid the use of them until you really now how they work. there are tons of different eq´s out there, each with different sound and for different cases. but "basically" they all work like the one you already know
to the vst instruments, ....... ............. ..................... ............
piuhhhhh, sorry
so, i guess you will not go for expensive hardware, having tenthousands to spend, or? so for electronic music production guess what the instrument is.......right, your PC/MAC. so if you dont go for minimoog, nordwave, neve console, completely analog studio i guess you have to become familiar with vst instruments. they´re software instruments you can use in your DAW (ableton) which emulate this hardware stuff you dont want to pay for or simply dont have the money for. so just get few and learn how they work. or just click through preset library, coming later to this point....
naahhhh, sorry. really go for learning about synthesis first and the different ways to synthesize sounds. synthesis means to recreate a sound by using different techniques (additive,subtractive,FM,etc.) to achieve the desired one. and man its already gettin kind of a novel here =D so maybe you can see it´s really lot you have to learn and many wont be able to help you if you dont know the basic things. the knowledge about this all is power, you got the ability after doin what you like, becoming a synthesis monster creating sounds no one ever heared before, just regarding to the preset & sample stuff i will come later on ... =D
last thing i only can recommend is try to learn yourself, because otherwise ppl will often, if not usually only tell you their opinion (like i did with the eq thingy i.e., which is simply true but my opinion), which has not to be true or fit your imagination of sound. keep this in mind because many people will tell you many different things.
hope this kinda helps, cheers: stephan
ahhh nearly forgot.... i dont like to say this now, but maybe you like the trial and error way or just using stuff other people created. in this case you could save a lot of time and go for samples and presets. presets are the sounds included in a vst instrument, usually you just have to press a key on your keyboard (if you dont have one, live offers qwertz/qwerty keyboard simulation, just hit the w key i.e. and sound live triggers midi note to the vst synth;)).
samples you get everywhere, dont wanna go on now about quality, sample rates to keep attention on, resolutions etc. just google psy samplepacks whatever and think you will find enough.....
so last thing i wanna say is keep in mind if you use samples or presets that they´re easily recognized by other people already knowing the sound/preset/sample.... and you will not learn this way how to create the stuff in your mind. or how to create stuff you like from others or how to develop your own ideas or other ones ideas
think about yourself what you want to do and what you want to achieve.
also try to get a clear idea of what you want to sound like
cheers: stephan

Man, unbelievable. Thanks for all those helpful words. Ich komme auch aus Deutschland, Mister
And yes, in the meantime I learned a bit about vst and now know some more about it, and yes, you're right in what you're saying. Luckily I know already some useful things about music cause I played instruments for years on and off now and learned about music theory at a school in Hamburg, which was based on the idea to have a musical class next to one about ancient languages. Guess which class I've taken... That's why I know something about frequences, tonality, bars and what basics a song is built from (refers to your first link!
) etc, etc...
Vor allem will ich dir für deine Tipps das Aufnehmen betreffend danken. Denn du weißt ja, was mir primär Schwierigkeiten bereitet ist wie gesagt die Phase von simplen Loops oder Samples zu einem Song mit Struktur, mit Spannungsbogen und einem (wiedererkennbaren!) Thema...will heißen, ich habe ein Intro, und ich habe einen echt netten Loop mit Leadsound...und jetzt sage mir, ich solle das verbinden! Arghs, und da ist bei mir derzeit noch viel viel viel Üben angesagt...auf der Gitarre war das irgendwie so...leicht
(Der Grund, warum ich das, was du ja eigentlich schon weißt, nochmal auf Deutsch wiederhole: es ist relativ kompliziert, mein Problem auf Englisch deutlich genug in Worte zu fassen. Du scheinst mich aber trotzdem super verstanden zu haben...
Danke nochmal für die Links und deine Erfahrung! Wir schreiben uns wieder! Auf zu neuen Taten
Well, I feel this whole thing is getting much bigger than I thought in the beginning. I will try my best to exercise and finally being able presenting my first work I find worth it. And then I'll think back and to myself: Wow, this all really have started here.

Oh! And also Jarjor, I didn't see your post in the first time - this controller for Ableton is really cool
And it gives a good basic idea on what Abletons most important functions seem to be.
Yay. I think I'll get wiser and wiser here.
edit: If you wanna hear something, go on. Note the explanation below.
I don't think this would fit into self-produced tracks for obvious reason. Also, 6/8 time.

I would like to say with all of my respect to all artists here that you have to listened but not a lot.Becouse people knows a lot , they have a lot of knowledges for veterans are watching another things, they are interesting of course but sometimes you could be feel that it´s impossible to reach some quality, it´s heavy to learn.... if you are studying medicine and in your first lesson you enter into the last year course you could be afraid and things you are going to learn with time sounds as chinese.So you get down and don´t make anything.So first it´s the energy your need of making music.And then you have to walk and walk....I´m a starter and sometimes i feel like this.For example if you go with a professional guitarrist they only like some kind of guitar with a lot of reason it costs a lot but you can sound with a worse guitar....perhaps when you learn a little bit you will notice...
Go on , it´s not bad the music you have posted.

Sorry sometimes it´s difficult.
I gonna try to explain myself:
for learning sometimes the only thing you have to do is be mistaken by yourself...
Just look in the direction of your own energy.
Sometimes i have seen a lot of information, expert vocabulary, technnical expresions, hardware requirements, set up preferences, vst, software,midi stuff, opinions ...so i felt you are not going to be able to reach quality.I get down....i felt bad...
So get up, just begin with one thing, then you play as a child, get enjoy and with the time you will polish your mistakes...
but energy must be clean and powerful.
So sometimes you must be blind and deaf to advance hahahahahahaha
Hope this explain myself....

You guys are so great to help Fraktal out! I think its awesome how people take the time out to share so much knowledge! Btw Fraktal, your not a NOOB! I can't stand when people use that term. Your just learning like we all are. Know one starts out being Derango!!, Unless you have God given talent which most of us don't. Even professionals are still learning new things everyday! This is an ongoing process that continues forever. Keep practicing more and more, and things will fall into place for you when it's the right time. I'll sorta quote Rawar here: be patient with your music, because you have all the time in the world to make it sound KILLER! That was one of the best tips I read on this forum! No need to rush, just enjoy the journey, the process of making crazy sounds and beats! Have fun bro!

Mayo said the team forced the Cougars into 30 turnovers in a great team effort.
"Symone did an outstanding job defensively for us pressuring them into turnovers. She had five steals, five rebounds and six points," Mayo said.
The high scorers for the Lady Bears against the Cougars were Andi Moore 14, Alex Atkins 13, Ayana Shelton 9 and Symone Simmons 6.

Industry guru Michael Kammes proposes to his girlfriend in 3D. Or should that be 4D?
We don't think we've covered a marriage proposal here before on FCP.co and it makes a happy change from the rather depressing news from yesterday. When industry guru Michael Kammes proposed, he did it with style and in three dimensions...
Larry Jordan talks FCPX and other speakers present from the BVE Expo
Larry Jordan gave a couple of talks at the recent BVE Expo in London. In one, he summed up the not too successful Final Cut Pro X launch quite well. We've also included some other great speakers from the show too who talk about tapeless production, 3D, SANs, media in the cloud and much much more...
Onsight publish OS3D, a free 3D plugin for Final Cut Pro 7
UK camera and equipment rental house Onsight have published a 3D plugin for FCP 7. Now you can correct the left and right eye files with OS3D, a free non-watermarked plugin that they developed in-house for their own use.
The Meduza MK1 3D camera available for order at IBC
This landed in our in box this morning. Although nothing to do with FCP, it looked so awesome we thought we would post this beast of a 3D camera as news.
How to edit 3D in FCPX using Stereo 3D Toolbox Lite
The ability to edit 3D material wasn't included in the list of features of Final Cut Pro X when it was launched in June. Dashwood Cinema Solutions have plugged that gap by updating their 3D editing tools for FCPX.
How to produce a 3D menu for inclusion on a 3D Blu-ray disc
Making 3D material is still not easy, so how difficult is it to make a 3D menu to start off your 3D Blu-ray disk? To be honest we wouldn't have a Scooby where to start, luckily we know a man who has produced an excellent half hour tutorial to show us how.
FCP to DCP at Cannes Film Festival via QubeMaster
So you're an independent filmmaker and you're looking to produce your DCP (Digital Cinema Package) so you can exhibit at Cannes or Venice. Previously you'd have had to cope with the expense and complication of going to a major facility. No longer. As more and more major film festivals endorse DCPS as their preferred delivery format, QubeMaster Xport provides all the tools needed for generating DCP masters.
$100 3D beamsplitter rig
{iframe}http://player.vimeo.com/video/22862540?title=0&byline=0&portrait=0" width="600" height="338" frameborder="0"{/iframe}
We have posted the Lego follow focus, the $7 Ikea shoulder mount and other homemade Canon DSLR accessories on here. This is a first though, a wooden DIY 3D beamsplitter rig.
Editing 3D in Final Cut Pro and After Effects without plugins
There are plugins out there for 3D editing, but they are expensive even with the latest price cuts by GoPro. If you have FCP and After Effects and you're on a budget then this workflow is for you. Part two of the video and the finshed result after the break.
GoPro reprice Neo packages, $299 for CineForm Studio Premium, $999 for CineForm Studio Professional
Wow, some big price cuts on the Neo workflow packages, the big 3D pack looks like it is now nearly a third of the original price. GoPro are definitely trying to make their mark in the world of 3D editing.
If you really want to talk about radical FCP GUI design, then how about using this method to display 3D?
Well the puck could certainly have travelled to here by the time the new FCP gets released. Amazing video of what you can do with the iPad2, wearing no silly glasses either! A bit of a tenuous link, granted but at least it breaks up the NAB stories.
Sony launch a compact all-in-one 3D camcorder at NAB, the HXR-NX3D1
Sony are going full tilt into 3D, with the HXR-NX3D1. All the tech stuff after the break but what's of particular interest to us is that support is scheduled to enable conversion of MVC footage recorded with the HXR-NX3D1 to CineForm codec using the popular CineForm Neo3D/NeoHD as a Codec Plug-In for 3D editing. Looks like GoPro made a good decision in buying CineForm.
Visualising 3D Convergence in GoPro Cineform Studio Tutorial
GoPro are used to riding waves, well they made them by purchasing CineForm, and here's a great tutorial of their new software bundle at work, providing a superb visualisation of how to fix convergence. Will we see this 'more iMovie' than Firstlight GUI/engine power Neo3D for FCP?
If the GoPro cameras weren't cool enough, now you can film yourself doing dangerous things in 3D
So the big news over the last week was that GoPro had bought CineForm and now we know why, the 3D combining & editing of two GoPro camera movies. The software is a free download too - what will that mean for Neo?
++ We urge you to watch the GoPro 3D Hero highlight reel on Youtube as we cannot embed. It is pretty amazing ++
EVS launch a live non render 3D edit system
EVS has had a bit of a love hate relationship with FCP. Why would you want to edit on Final Cut Pro when you could use IPEdit? Well here is one reason, the launch of IPEdit.3D at NAB 2011.
Gemini 4:4:4 - A five inch touchscreen recorder player
So we are going to leave the credit cards at home this NAB otherwise we might find ourselves with one of these on the plane back. There are other LCD recorders arriving everyday, but this one can record two streams for 3D work. It's missing one thing though...
Practise your keying and roto with this amazing Hollywood style green screen resource. It's free too!
So you've dabbled a bit with match moving in Motion and fancy yourself as a VFX artist, but where do you get the green screen originals to practise on? Checkout this amazing free resource.
Is Canon the first camera company to announce support for Thunderbolt? This is huge news
How huge? When Thunderbolt was released we had a chat with HD Warrior, the website that we read for breaking news on cameras. We said it was only a matter of time before camera companies jumped on this new technology. Find out what our chat predicted after the break as this little connector will change the industry again.
Shooting at either end of the 5D spectrum. From pin sharp 3D to a lo-fi $25 Holga Lens
{iframe} http://player.vimeo.com/video/20035130?title=0&byline=0&portrait=0" width="600" height="338" frameborder="0"{/iframe}
Shooting 3D with two Canon 5D MkIIs? Apparently it was difficult to achieve because of the GenLock problem, but not for Damian Steck when he produced his Eyes Wide Open film in pin sharp stereoscopic 3D. Pin sharp that is if you're wearing your 3D specs for this anaglyph version. More after the break including news about the Holga.
Stereo3D Toolbox for FCP gets an upgrade and Stereo3D Cat is out of the bag
We feel pretty bad about this one as we missed it in the crazy build up to our website's launch. Tim Dashwood of Dashwood Cinema Solutions is not only announcing an upgrade to Stereo3D Toolbox, but he is also unveiling brand new products at NAB 2011 - One of them being Stereo3D Cat.

Songs Of Light
LP (Item 601077) Numero, Late 60s — Condition: New Copy
A beautiful batch of gospel work from Shirley Ann Lee – a vocalist who originally worked the spiritual circuit in a trio with Candi Staton! The album's an unusual one – put together partly as a way of promoting Shirley's music to a larger audience – which means it's got a few spoken bits that kind of introduce her with cool musical backings, then roll into the songs themselves – which are often a very bluesy version of gospel – recorded with earthy instrumentation that really brings out the deep soul in her vocals! There's a nicely offbeat quality to the record – and in addition to 6 rare singles, the set also features 10 more that have never been issued before. Titles include "All I Have To Depend On", "There's A Light", "How Can I Lose", "Someday", "Stay On Your Knees", "Get Back", "I've Got To Make It", and "Blessed Quietness". © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. |
