  • Why I Prefer Used Audio Consoles
    If you are looking for a new sound system for a recording studio or for your live sound venue, new may not be the best option.

  • High School Musical - Great Entertainment That's Here To Stay

The ongoing popularity of Disney's High School Musical is due to the way it touches many of the elements that kids like.
  • Good Church Sound Can Send Your Spirit Rising to the Heavens
    Soaring church sound can send your spirit rising to the heavens; static, screeching church can send you running for your car. Savvy church sound technicians know that church sound quality matters just as much as sound quality in a concert venue or a recording studio. A poor church sound system is especially hard to forgive because it is impossible to create a perfect, spiritual moment if the audience is cringing in the pews, awaiting the next painful assault on their ears.
  • Church Sound Systems are Crucial
    When you think of high tech sound, a church is probably not the place that immediately pops into your head. You may think of celebrated rock concert tours, cavernous symphony halls, lavish music awards ceremonies, or popular outdoor festivals, but churches? Actually, church sound is big business. There is even a magazine with over 30,000 subscribers dedicated solely to the production of excellent audio, video, and stage lighting designs in houses of worship, both large and modest.

  • The Benefits of Tech Lighting
    How quickly humans forget! With iPhones which let us order our lives and even check our e-mail and home entertainment centers that rival a cinema, we hardly give a thought to the wonder of lighting. Yet lighting is just that-nothing short of a marvel. Have you ever tried to accomplish anything by candlelight during a power outage?

No wonder everyone went to bed at dusk and woke at first light!

  • The Emperor's New Groove - Nuttier Than a Holiday Fruit Cake!
    Most fans agree that The Emperor's New Groove lived up to its tagline: "nuttier than a holiday fruitcake!" It was a critically lauded, if not ultimately successful, animated feature, and the first Disney animated film to ever feature a pregnant woman. Released in December 2000, The Emperor's New Groove mixes a careful balance of comedy designed to appeal both to adults and children. It marked the 39th film in Disney's canon and was initially slated to be a traditional musical along the lines of The Lion King. Though the title plays upon the Danish fairytale, The Emperor's New Clothes, by Hans Christen Andersen, the original story was based on Mark Twain's The Prince and the Pauper. The initial incarnation of the project was titled Kingdom of the Sun, with the creative team behind The Lion King, director Roger Allers and producer Randy Fullmer, at the helm. So prestigious was the production that Allers and Fullmer contracted Sting to write the music for the film.
  • Oliver & Company - The First Disney Movie With Attitude!

  • The Aristocats - A Classy Classic
    The tagline for The Aristocats was, aptly, "Meet the cats who know where it's atfor fun, music and adventure!" The Aristocats was the twentieth animated feature in the Disney canon. It was purportedly the last film to receive Walt Disney's personal approval and was the first animated feature released after his death. It was originally intended to be screened in two installments on television, but was quickly promoted to feature status. It should be mentioned that the basic premise of the film, an animated comedy about cats in France, had been realized by UPA with the 1962 release of Gay Purr-ee, starring the voice of Judy Garland.

  • Companies Are Eager to Hire Competent Computer Programmers
    Visual Basic is one of the most fashionable computer programming languages today. In large part, its popularity is based on the fact that the very fundamentals of the Internet are built on the Visual Basic language.

    There are many different of applications for sound systems. Some tiny venues, such as a coffee shop or a room in a library designed to host lectures, may require only a straightforward public address system with a single microphone and a 100-watt amplifier.

    Nurses have never had it easy. Never. Throughout history they have been underappreciated, and overlooked, faced difficult patients, suffered terrible working conditions, and endured discrimination of all types.

It is hard to imagine now the sort of awful experience she faced.

    Many careers call for the use of gloves, both for the protection of workers and for cleanliness.

The feeling that there are germs setting up camp all over your hands is enough to make you sick--literally!

  • How Disney's Cinderella Changed the World of Animation
    Cinderella, the twelfth feature released by Walt Disney, was the first full-length feature since Disney released Bambi in 1942.

  • Ratatouille Is Tasty Film Fare
    Ratatouille, the eighth Pixar production, is a scrumptious treat. The irony of the kitchen's most horrifying menace, a rat, becoming a culinary hero is too ironic to resist-at least, that is what Pixar thought of the idea when it was introduced in 2001. The name comes from a French recipe and translates literally to "toss food." It is difficult to imagine a more fitting title for this film.
  • Why I Chose Disney's Cars from the Disney Movie Club
    The 2006 animated feature film Cars is a flick that will entertain everyone in the family.

  • The Importance of Good Concert Sound
    Sound engineers are among the most vital professionals working in the entertainment industry. From live sound events, such as concerts and mobile television broadcasts, to the music recording industry and film sound, the work of the sound technicians is crucial. The sound they can produce, however, is only as good as the equipment they have to work with. Concert sound engineers have to have high quality, reliable sound mixing equipment. Whether on the road or in a permanent home, musicians demand great concert sound. The demands of these two types of concert sound, however, are not the same.
