Alan Parsons' Art & Science of Sound Recording Releases New Programs

Santa Cruz, CA April 22, 2010 -- Alan Parsons’ Art and Science of Sound Recording, the ground-breaking instructional series covering all aspects of sound recording, has now released a third series of new programs, available

for streaming and digital download at www.artandscienceofsound.com.

The Art and Science of Sound Recording collection offers something for everyone interested in recording their own music, from novice to professional engineers. Supported by extensive musical examples, custom diagrams, and interview clips, each section offers an in-depth view of individual areas of the recording process.

Along with a number of programs recently released in 2010 covering MIDI, EQ, Delays, Drums, Noise Gates, Recording a Choir, Keyboards and Bass, Digital Audio and Computers, Studio Acoustics, Monitoring and Microphones, the new sections feature three technical equipment-based scenes on Compressors and Limiters, Reverb, Consoles and Controllers, as well as an application scene on Recording Acoustic Guitar with Vocal, and finally a detailed look at the crucial topic of Mixing.

Featured guests span the entire realm of music recording, from producers like Jack Joseph Puig (John Mayer, Green Day, Fergie), John Fields (The Jonas Brothers, Miley Cyrus), to Elliot Scheiner (The Eagles, Steely Dan) and Jack Douglas (John Lennon, Aerosmith, Slash). Although Parsons’ heritage is firmly in the rock camp, the series features country music producers like Tony Brown (Dixie Chicks, George Strait) and Chuck Ainlay (Melissa Etheridge, Mark Knopfler), alternative rock producers like Sylvia Massey (Beck, Tool), R&B producers and engineers like Jimmy Douglass (Justin Timberlake, Timbaland), Allen Sides (Phil Collins, Joni Mitchell), as well as Grammy-winning artists like Michael McDonald, Taylor Hawkins and The Foo Fighters.

The Art and Science of Sound Recording series also invites viewers into Parson’s personal custom HD recording facility and some of the country’s most acclaimed recording studios, such as Ocean Way, Record One, Sound Kitchen, Blackbird, Phantom Recording and Henson Recording Studios (formerly A&M.)

Live365 Powers Radio Stations for Acclaimed Artists Including Roy Orbison, Pat Metheny, Frank Zappa, and Third Eye Blind

Foster City, CA April 18, 2010 -- Live365 (Live365.com), Internet radio pioneer and provider of premier broadcasting services, announces custom radio stations that help recording artists reach new audiences. Anyone with a computer and an Internet

connection can listen to 24-hour artist-centric programming by visiting the artist’s websites or searching by name on Live365.com. Listener reach is further expanded by distribution through Live365’s mobile applications for iPhone, Blackberry, and Windows Mobile, as well as devices such as TiVo, WDTV Live, and Logitech® Squeezebox(TM).

For content owners and creators, setting up a custom radio station is rapidly becoming another powerful tool in the do-it-yourself marketing arsenal. Artists ranging from jazz great Pat Metheny to rockers Third Eye Blind and Santana have gained increased listeners through their radio stations powered by Live365.

Even loved ones left to manage an artist’s estate have been setting up Internet stations as a way to work around the limited airplay slots available on terrestrial broadcast radio. The most recent is Barbara Orbison (Roy Orbison’s widow), who enlisted the help of Live365 to launch “Roy Radio,” a 24-hour program to introduce the history of rock and roll to a new generation available at royorbison.com. Similarly, Gail Zappa, approached the company to power Zappa Radio, available at zappa.com/zapparadio.

The uptake in artist-specific stations suggests an interesting new market for Live 365’s broadcasting services available at live365.com/broadcast. “Live365 has long been an industry-leader for providing broadcasting services to professional and aspiring DJs,” says Jason Stoddard, Director of Broadcasting at Live365. “We’re committed to helping more artists use them to connect with their audience and gain new fans.”
