Paul McCartney Anuncia Um Documentário De 6 Episódios Em Realidade Virtual

Paul McCartney announces virtual reality documentary series

Paul McCartney has today (May 25) announced a six-part documentary series in virtual reality, filmed in his home studios where he'll be discussing some of his most iconic songs to-date.

The PURE McCartney episodes will chronicle 'Dance Tonight', 'Coming Up', 'My Valentine', 'Mull of Kintyre' and 'Early Days', released episodically beginning today and continuing through to the PURE McCartney album release on June 10.

Director for PURE McCartney VR, Tony Kaye comments: "It is an honour to be part of such a tremendously talented team of artists, tasked with documenting the thinking of this great man, in order to bring his fans a new means of expericing some of his greatest songs.

"His musical genius is now on display for the world in an entirely new light."

Cliff Plumer, president of Jaunt Studios added: "We used to see artists connect with their fans through album covers and liner notes but that personal expression, and deeper understanding of the music, has diminished over the years.

"With virtual reality, Paul McCartney is taking the most innovative step yet; he's connecting directly with his fans, to share his innermost thoughts and experiences, in an entirely new, personal and immersive way."

Building the series, the team behind it sought out the creative expertise of some incredible minds including award-winning Director, Tony Kaye; Producer and Soundscape Architect Geoff Emerick; and Executive Producers Cliff Plumer, Lucas Wilson and Doug Allenstein.

High quality cinematic VR combines with digitally remastered and spatially oriented ambisonic audio mixed in Dolby Atmos, to deliver the unique series.

The project also marks the first time an original Paul McCartney track has been remixed in Dolby Atmos.

As Rádios Pirata Estão Voltando!

Pirate Radio Stations On The Rise Again

Once upon a time pirate radio stations were big business and a big influence, with Radio Caroline, Radio Luxembourg and XERF all helping birth the modern radio and music industries. Most pirate stations have been long closed, and it was thought that they’d be gone for good thanks to the Internet. Surprisingly, pirate radio is actually on the rise again, according to a report by the Associated Press.

It seems that you can actually put a station on the air that covers a couple of miles for a mere $750, but why would anyone even think about it? The fact is that many want to broadcast to underserved immigrant communities to provide them with a slice of home. Others who formerly had their own Internet station but were forced to abandon it because of the recent huge increase in license fees have turned to a more traditional terrestrial approach. Still others feel that the homogenized sound of the radio thanks to the station group ownership has let down the listener.

The FCC issued about a hundred warnings to pirate stations last year, mostly in Boston and Miami where clusters of them seem to operate. According to FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler, fining the operators and seizing their equipment doesn’t stop many of them because often they won’t pay the fines and will just buy new equipment if it’s confiscated. The problem is that the FCC is short-handed and isn’t able to following up as timely as they’d like. As a result, agents have instead gone to landlords and local police to enlist them to be on the lookout for pirates.

Why is pirate radio a problem? With officially licensed radio struggling so badly, any advertising siphoned off by pirates can really hurt financially. Plus there’s the issues of interference with existing station signals and even the Emergency Alert System.

So it looks like something very old is new again. Terrestrial pirate radio may not be hip, but it’s making a comeback.

Facebook Novo Slideshow Para Vídeo De Música

Facebook’s New Slideshow Feature Just For Music Videos

First of all thanks to my friend
BOBBY OWSINSKI 

for this article.

It’s obvious that Facebook has been gunning for YouTube for some time now, and the service now claims that it now has more video viewers (although that’s debatable). That’s not enough though, as Facebook will soon introduce a feature called Slideshow that will allow users to create their own soundtracks from a list of licensed popular songs.

Although only Warner Music has signed on currently, all the major labels look to Facebook as a higher paying alternative to YouTube. Having another competitor in the music video streaming space could also force YouTube to reconsider it’s 55/45 payout schedule which has been the bane of record labels for some time. With the rest of the streaming industry paying 70% or more of collected revenue out on royalties, the major labels view YouTube as the thing that’s holding back users from subscribing to the paid tier of streaming networks, since it’s difficult to compete with free.

The labels would still be OK with YouTube if it paid a higher royalty, but since that doesn’t look to happen soon, Facebook’s Slideshow could be their dream scenario.

Facebook, Instagram and Messenger users currently spend 50 minutes a day using the services, CEO Mark Zuckerberg revealed on the company’s last earnings call. It also reported an surprising 57 percent increase in ad revenue to $5.2 billion, and the music industry would certainly like to get a larger piece. That said, the average person spends about 1 hour and 12 minutes viewing online videos, and much of that is still on YouTube. Facebook would like to be part of that daily experience, which is why it views Slideshow as important.

Slideshow better be easy to use and even easier to search, as that’s the secret sauce of YouTube. It’s the second largest search engine in the world (and owned by the largest, which is Google), and that basic ability shouldn’t be underestimated.

Este Mac APP Faz Fones De Ouvido Baratos Soarem Melhor!

This Mac app makes cheap headphones sound way better

There's an app for Macs called Boom 2 that helps unleash the true potential of any headphones, including those cheap earbuds that came with your smartphone purchase.

The app helps boost certain levels of sound, like bass, mids, and treble to give your music a clearer, richer sound.

There's also a special option that makes you feel like you're on stage with your favorite band or artist, and it's amazing. It'll sound like your headphones just woke up and spread their wings.

Without the app, my music sounds flat, constrained, and muffled.

Yes, Boom 2 costs $15, which does seem expensive for an app. At the same time, we write about and recommend products worth hundreds, even thousands of dollars, so this app is a comparative drop in the bucket. Boom 2 is also a one-time purchase that you can keep forever and transfer to new Macs.

Here's how it works.

Find the Boom 2 app in the Mac App Store and buy it.

Tech Insider

Once installed, you'll see the Boom symbol on the menu bar at the top of your Mac's screen. Click it and click the the button with the three dots. Start playing music so you can hear the difference when you change the settings in Boom 2.

Tech Insider

In the Boom 2 menu, turn off the Boom Volume at the top. All it does is boost your Mac's overall volume, which you most likely don't need.

Tech Insider

Turn on the Equalizer option, then select "Rock" from the presets on the right. This will give your music a little boost in bass and treble to make it sound a little livelier.

Tech Insider

Then, click the Ambience option on the bottom left, and click/drag the orange circle to where the orange arrow is pointing. Your music should sound much better than it did before you installed Boom 2.

Tech Insider

You can try turning the settings off again to hear what your music used to sound like, but chances are you'll never go back. 

You can always try different equalizer presets, like Hip Hop or Jazz. But the key here is the Ambience option, which unlocks the true potential of almost any headphone. You can also adjust the level of Ambience, but I've generally found that a conservative setting serves me best.

Note that not all headphones, especially the really cheap ones, will be able to handle these extra settings.

A Trilha Sonora De The Force Awakens Vem Com Holograma No Vinil

The Force Awakens Soundtrack on Vinyl Has Spinning Holograms Etched Into the Records

Given the resurgence in the popularity of records, Disney didn’t really have to do much to sell 

copies of The Force Awakens soundtrack now that it’s finally available on vinyl, months 

after the film’s release. But if you still need a reason to drop $50 on another copy, the 

records feature 3D holograms etched right onto them.
