Seymour, TN (PRWEB) November 16, 2011

As the holiday season rapidly approaches, karaoke professionals, who ply their trade playing songs for singers in venues across the United States, are going out of business due to a shrinking economy and hundreds of lawsuits over illegal karaoke libraries.

Its going to be what Dolly Parton might call a Hard Candy Christmas, said Norbert Stovall, gold- and platinum-record winning producer from Nashville, and CEO of Big Mama Digital Entertainment, parent company of the Chartbuster Karaoke label. KJs who dont have their libraries in order might be looking at having their businesses shut down, equipment confiscated, or worse.

But Stovall has a plan that just might save Christmas for thousands of karaoke professionals.

For a limited time, were offering our Digital 6000 Media Pro collection at unheard-of discounting, Stovall said. While the package, which includes 6,000 songs from every genre of music, and features songs from every decade back to the thirties up to todays hottest hits, normally sells for a dollar per song, were plunging deep into our pockets to help the beleaguered KJ get legal immediately.

Stovall said that the Digital 6000 Media Pro would be placed on sale for only $ 1,999 throughout the holiday season, at a savings of more than $ 4,000, and would include guaranteed interest-free financing, and a certificate verifying the KJ legally purchased the library.

You can buy it with confidence, direct from the manufacturer, Stovall said. If youre a karaoke professional, theres never been a better time to get legal.

SingSnap Reveals Their Improved Online Karaoke Recorder for Improved Sound Quality and Ease of Use!

Posted on by

(PRWEB) November 30, 2011

SingSnap recently unveiled their improved online karaoke recorder to its eagerly awaiting membership. Trevor McGuire, President and CEO of SingSnap Karaoke says, “This version vastly improves the sound quality and ease of use of online karaoke recordings here on SingSnap.”

The improved version of SingSnap’s recorder has been in development for a little over a year, and underwent strenuous beta testing before being introduced to the community at large, says Jason Copp, SingSnap’s Chief Technical Officer, “This recorder is like a mini recording studio right on your computer, it’s very user friendly and we’ve introduced some new features that really make it easy to record quality sounding renditions of your favorite songs”.

New features include a Clipping Detection tool, which senses when vocals are too loud and automatically lowers the recording volume to prevent distortion on playback. SingSnap has also implemented a Lyrics Speed adjuster allowing users to speed up or slow down the visual display of lyrics in the recording window to better anticipate the next phrase.

Back end improvements also provide users with a much more enjoyable recording experience. Synchronization between the music backing track and the vocal track has been refined with much smaller synchronization adjustments than previously available, giving the member much more control over the outcome of their finished recording. SingSnap’s “Make Me Sound Better” button, which provides studio quality reverb and compression to a vocal track, has been tweaked and refined and with the addition of mp3 music backing tracks, creates a truly professional sounding result. A big fix on this version is again on the “Make Me Sound Better” button wherein a member can actually hear the effects as they are applied before saving giving them a truer preview of their finished project.

“As always, the catalyst for this change is our members and the feedback we get from them on what they want”, says Trevor McGuire. “They challenged us, and we responded”.

The Congressmans Dinner – New Film From Award Winning Director Omar Chraibi Stirs Controversy Over World Peace Initiatives; Creates Movement to Petition U.S. House

Posted on by

Orlando, FL (PRWEB) December 05, 2011

An U.S. Congressman invites a select group of people to a dinner party for his 18 year old autistic son. With his campaign manager at his side, the plan is to use this occasion to better ascertain the pulse of the people in preparation for his forthcoming reelection bid.

The movie describes the twenty-first century political paradigm shift as manifest by the Arab Spring and Occupy movement, and outlines a participatory plan for Americas involvement. This plan includes a proven pathway to the actualized creation of world peace.

Check out the trailer here!

The Congressmans Dinner was made in the hopes that the will of a greater populace might become part of the present day political discussion, says Writer/Producer Bob Di Cerbo.

We designed the movie as a dinner with an US congressman who is running for reelection. The thinking being that this could provide the platform to present what might be a more sensible, non-partisan and less costly present day adjustment in terms of governmental thinking and planning.

The hope is that such recognition of this shift, including the work of the Global Peace Initiative for example, could perhaps be addressed as part of any collectively governing body’s decision making and something also for each of us to individually consider.

Read the Congressmans Blog for ongoing discussion on topics related to the film!

One of the dinner guests looks to convince the Congressman that the actual physics of peace – using examples of quantum physics as seen in plant growth, water experiments and in particular what scientists refer to as the Field Effect – proves and provides for now, a definable pathway to world peace. This proven science presents an exciting understanding of how we may individually and collectively help establish an even better world.

Among the topics presented is America’s spending on foreign aid, to whom it goes and with what results. This is compared to what a more strategically applied review might provide as to America being of greater service in contributing to that better world (and thereby more dynamically benefitting itself).

This strategically applied review suggests that such money is most likely better spent on trade vs. aid initiatives. Additional applications include how the US can complete a more comprehensive defense strategy and a direct pathway to how we can successfully end the war on terror.

About the Director – Omar Chraibi (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0159599/)

Directed by Omar Chraibi, whose movies have won numerous international awards, The Congressman’s Dinner marks his North American directorial debut.

Originally from Morocco and with a Masters Degree in Cinema from the Sorbonne University, Mr. Chraibis movies have won ten awards internationally including three Best Feature Film awards. His ability to bring out the best in his actors is illustrated by the five Best Actor/Actress awards his actors have won, and his expertise in the comedy genre is seen by the two Best Comedy Program awards his has won for Moroccan Television.

Additionally he has served as an Unit Production Manager for The Bourne Ultimatum, Syriana, Body of Lies and Green Zone.
