	<description>Ashdown Engineering is a British manufacturer of instrument amplifiers, particularly for bass.

The first amplifier that Ashdown produced was the Klystron Bass Magnifier, of which only 200 amps and 100 pre-amps were shipped, since another company had registered the name. Following this, much of the currently available gear was released - the MAG, Electric Blue, and ABM series. Following this, the Acoustic Radiator and now the Ashdown Valve range.</description>

	<title>Festivals &amp; Conferences : Cannes Film Festival</title> 
	<link>http://www.mnusa.com/mwebdir/Reference/Festivals_&amp;_Conferences/398</link> 
	<description>Because cinema itself is constantly changing the boundaries, because the world it reflects is more indiscernible than ever, the Festival will not simply coast along on the prestige of its name, however strong that may be. This prestige is above all due to the quality of the films, the creativity of the artists, the fighting spirit of the professionals and the enthusiasm of the press. Cannes is a collective good that each of us, wherever we are
and in our own individual way, builds stone by stone, year after year. It’s through never ceasing to question, through constantly evolving, and through inviting criticism, that we do it the most good. Although solidly rooted in its own history, Cannes is always open to newness. That which is dissimilar to it enriches it: and this is why this festival is our festival.

	<link>http://www.mnusa.com/mwebdir/Reference/Festivals_&amp;_Conferences/405</link> 
	<description>Our conferences will encompass everything that we believe a PRODUCER CONFERENCE sould tap into NOW. If you&#039;re new to producing, it will be a great opportunity for you to learn where the industry is at now. If you&#039;re more seasoned, it will be great for you to have access to those who place music on records, films, video games, and on tv. And if you are looking to step up on some of your production or engineering techniques, our specialized workshops wil help you in that area. If you DO MUSIC and aren&#039;t limited to &#039;urban&#039; &#039;pop&#039;, or any other label that doesn&#039;t really exist anymore, then the conference is the place for you. Our 8yh Annual Producers Conference will encourage professional growth and creative enrichment for those who love to produce music in general. We&#039;ll kick it and have a good time too, but if you JUST want to party and hang out with celebrities, then your money is probably better spent somewhere else, ya dig?

The Canmore Folk and Blues Club, which had been putting on concerts in small halls in the community since mid 70&#039;s, took up the idea.

	<title>Festivals &amp; Conferences : International Conference on Music and Emotion 2009</title> 
	<link>http://www.mnusa.com/mwebdir/Reference/Festivals_&amp;_Conferences/436</link> 
	<description>Emotion&#039;s crucial role in musical experience has long been the object of philosophical reflection and empirical study. Contemporary work on music and emotion is happening in fields as diverse as aesthetics, psychology, sonic arts, evolutionary biology, anthropology, and neuroscience. Ironically, the subject is relatively neglected by music theory itself. This conference  organised by the Society for Music Analysis  brings together international experts in all these disciplines within a single forum to analyse and theorise ways in which emotion is encoded, mediated and unfolded by musical sounds and structures; and how musical emotion is measured, modelled and conceptualised.

	<title>Magazines : Rolling Stone</title> 
	<link>http://www.mnusa.com/mwebdir/News_and_Media/Magazines/457</link> 
	<description>Rolling Stone is a United States-based magazine devoted to music, politics, and popular culture that is published every two weeks. Rolling Stone was founded in San Francisco in 1967 by Jann Wenner (who is still editor and publisher) and music critic Ralph J. Gleason. The magazine was known for its political coverage beginning in the 1970s, with the enigmatic and controversial gonzo journalist Hunter S. Thompson. Rolling Stone Magazine changed its format in the 1990s to appeal to younger readers,[3] often focusing on young television or film actors and pop music. This led to criticism that the magazine was emphasizing style over substance.[4] In recent years, the magazine has resumed its traditional mix of content, including in-depth political stories, and has seen circulation rise. With a magazing like Rolling Stone, readers get a little taste of everything each month.

	<title>Drums &amp; Percussion : Zildjian </title> 
	<link>http://www.mnusa.com/mwebdir/Equipment_Manufacturers/Drums_&amp;_Percussion/513</link> 
	<description>The Zildjian Company is a family oriented, drummer and percussionist driven company solely dedicated to crafting the finest percussion instruments on the planet. It was in the Ottoman Empire, in the year 1623, when an alchemist named Avedis Zildjian first discovered a method of fusing copper, tin and silver to create unique musical instruments. From that day to the present day, the Zildjian mystique has captivated musicians and music lovers alike. The secret method for blending metals survives to carry the celebrated “Zildjian Sound&quot; into the present day and beyond. It takes so much more than merely crafting cymbals, drumsticks and mallets to fulfill the dreams and desires of drummers around the globe. It takes passion and dedication. Two things we have known for centuries.</description>

	<title>Loops &amp; MIDI : Submersible Music&#039;s DrumCore</title> 
	<link>http://www.mnusa.com/mwebdir/Industry_Resources/Loops_&amp;_MIDI/540</link> 
	<description>DrumCore arose from a basic need to quickly create drum tracks while producing music in a recording studio. The &quot;core&quot; technology and content started as a project within Vulcan, Inc., Paul G. Allen&#039;s multi-faceted parent company.

Initially, it was a search engine designed to manage an extensive collection of loop libraries, solving the real-world needs of those who manage the recording facilities there. But developers quickly wanted other features that would make it easier to create incredible drum tracks. DrumCore has since grown to include some of those features, such as: brilliant content by some of the world&#039;s best drummers; export capabilities to audio workstation software; a MIDI drum module and ReWire support for easier integration with other applications and audio hardware.

All this was designed to make it easier to get a groove happening so you can concentrate on music instead of fiddling with your computer. </description>

	<title>Recording Studios : Sun Studio</title> 
	<link>http://www.mnusa.com/mwebdir/Industry_Resources/Recording_Studios/560</link> 
	<description>Radio Engineer Sam Phillips opened up Sun Studio in January 1950 as the &quot;Memphis Recording Service&quot; to record blues greats in the South who had no where else to record. The Howlin&#039; Wolf, Bobby Blue Bland, Rufus Thomas, Junior Parker, Joe Hill Louis, and Little Milton are some of the many greats who came to Sam&#039;s studio.

Sam Phillips later retired from the business and the studio laid empty for almost 25 years, until 1985 when Carl, Johnny, Jerry Lee and Roy Orbison came back and cut a Grammy winning record &quot;The Class of &#039;55&quot;. The record got people excited about Sun again and almost a year later U2 recorded and filmed most of &quot;Rattle and Hum&quot; there.

Today Sun Studio operates as an Attraction and a 24 track Recording Studio, catering to artists such as, Ringo Starr, Bob Dylan, Matchbox 20, Beck, Maroon 5, Tom Petty &amp; the Heartbreakers, Def Leppard, and John Fogerty.

Sun Studio was designated a National Historic Landmark, the only studio ever to hold that status. </description>

	<title>Record Labels  : Merge Records</title> 
	<link>http://www.mnusa.com/mwebdir/Reference/Record_Labels_/567</link> 
	<description>Merge Records was started in the summer of 1989, by Laura Ballance &amp; Mac McCaughan, the same summer they formed the band Superchunk in Chapel Hill, NC. The first couple releases were cassettes (remember those?), by WWAX and Bricks, followed by the first Superchunk (then known only as &quot;Chunk&quot;) 7-inch single.

The vinyl 7-inch was the format of choice for the first 3 years of the label, with cash borrowed from friends to finance projects (including singles from Erectus Monotone, Angels of Epistemology, and more Superchunk) and bedrooms serving as Merge HQ until 1992, when the first Merge full-length release, Tossing Seeds by Superchunk, was released on CD, LP, and cassette.

Since &#039;92 Merge moved from one charming-yet-run-down office to another until 2001, when we finally made the move from Chapel Hill down the road to a fine old building all our own in historic Downtown Durham, NC.</description>

It has been co-owned by the Beggars Group since 2002 and now operates in both New York and London.</description>

	<description>Since the invention of the amplifier, tubes have remained the most fascinating component of electronic sound technology. You don’t have to be a tweaked-out tone freak to know that the kind of tube you use in your favorite amp plays an enormous role in shaping the personality of your sound. As certified tone maniacs ourselves, we offer a wide variety of premium hand-selected tubes to meet the tonal tastes of all breeds of musicians. We proudly offer tubes that deliver sun-drenched California cleans, as well as tubes that infuse your sound with an overcast British grind. Our various preamp tubes complement your amp’s power stage while maintaining incredibly low noise and minimal microphonics.</description>

	<title>Amplifiers : Marshall Amps</title> 
	<link>http://www.mnusa.com/mwebdir/Equipment_Manufacturers/Amplifiers/577</link> 
	<description>Marshall Amplification is a British company which designs and manufactures music amplifiers. Marshall amplifiers, and specifically their guitar amplifiers, are among one of the most recognized icons in popular music. Marshall is based in Bletchley, Milton Keynes. Marshall amps were originally built as direct copies of Fender amplifiers. However, they were soon modified, and would begin to incorporate certain traits which made them more favorable to guitarists seeking a heavier sound. The distinctive Marshall &#039;crunch&#039; distortion sound has remained sought after for nearly half a century. Like many high end guitar amplifiers, many of the current (and reissue) models continue to use vacuum tubes as amplification components. Marshall also manufactures less expensive solid state and hybrid devices.</description>

	<title>Amplifiers : Line 6</title> 
	<link>http://www.mnusa.com/mwebdir/Equipment_Manufacturers/Amplifiers/578</link> 
	<description>In the mid-1990&#039;s, Line 6 set out to meet the needs of today&#039;s guitarist by harnessing technology to turn a wide range of great tone into a reality for every guitarist. Line 6 amassed a noteworthy collection of sought-after vintage amps and effects, and started meticulously measuring and analyzing every tonal aspect of the amps, effects and their associated circuitry. Since an electric guitar produces an electrical signal, each element of the circuitry that alters the tone of the guitar is in fact processing that signal. By creating software models in DSP (Digital Signal Processing) of how the guitar signal is processed by these circuits, Line 6 had the ability to connect up and control these virtual circuits in any way.</description>

	<description>WorkshopLive.com is the world&#039;s premier online music education website. With over 2000 high quality video lessons for guitar, bass, drums and keyboards, in all styles and all levels. 

Lessons run an average of 10 minutes in length and are sure to teach you more than just riffs and licks, but exercises, concepts and theory as well. All are accompanied by high quality graphics as well as full notation and TAB that can easily be printed out. AND, you will always have jam tracks so you can practice along with some real music! 

One of the highlights of our lessons is the interactive player. It allows you to loop or play an example during the lesson, displaying animated music notation as well as an animated virtual guitar neck. You can slow it down, speed it up, or even choose whether you want to see fingerings or note names. 

Whether you are a beginner or an advanced player, WorkshopLive offers lessons at every level. From teaching you basic chords to just get started, or pushing the envelope with some screaming shred techniques, you can find it all at WorkshopLive—not to mention our vast library of classic song lessons!</description>

	<description>Music - the universal language. Every day, people around the globe experience its power to express our deepest longings, expand our minds, strengthen our hearts and renew our souls. But have you listened to some of what&#039;s out there? Too often, music is created without regard for its inherent beauty, power, and influence. At AudibleFaith, we long to see music utilized as we know it can be.

That&#039;s why we&#039;re committed to helping artists from all over the world find their voice and get their music heard. By providing distribution, discussion forums, song writing workshops, networks to other artists, and many more resources, we hope to catalyze an outpouring of new songs that enable all of us to reach for a higher standard, reshaping and binding us together. Whether it&#039;s music that preserves and celebrates the rich cultures of our world, sacred songs of worship that inspire and renew, powerful songs of justice that provoke and challenge, or fun songs about everyday life that teach us how to love, laugh and live, our dream is to become the premiere destination for artists who have something to say and for people looking for Music with Meaning.</description>

	<title>Promotions : Bandzoogle</title> 
	<link>http://www.mnusa.com/mwebdir/Industry_Resources/Promotions/666</link> 
	<description>In the late 90s, Bandzoogle&#039;s founder Chris played in a rock band called Rubberman. The band played big festivals, toured, made videos, and did all the crazy things rock bands do. And like many rock bands, had a parting of ways with their singer and broke up.

Their record label liked the website Chris built for Rubberman, so they hired him as a web designer for their multi-platinum artists. Over time, he got overloaded with requests to update the websites. So, he created a &quot;control panel&quot; to let managers make the changes themselves. Chris realized that the program could also help indie bands build and update their own websites. Bandzoogle was born.</description>

	<description>The American Heritage Dictionary defines music as, “The art of organizing sound so as to elicit an aesthetic response in a listener.” It doesn’t talk about genres or sub-genres. It doesn’t talk about seven figure deals or agents or labels or any of the stuff that we’ve inflicted on music over the last couple-or-six decades. It speaks, I think, more closely to the heart. Or, maybe more accurately, closer to the heart of the matter. See if you can help us stay straight and true.</description>

	<description>From our humble beginnings more than a decade ago as a small, one-man operation in a garage, to our current standing as the world’s largest online distributor of indie music, CD Baby has always been a company run BY musicians FOR musicians. Inside the fortified walls of our warehouse (a virtual Wonka-world of music) in rainy Portland, Oregon, we listen to every single album we carry before it is posted for sale so that we can help you find other new artists you’ll love, too. No distributors. No major labels. We only sell music that musicians send us directly. We ship CDs from our warehouse. We sell downloads from our site. And we also deliver our artists’ music to other download retailers, as well (iTunes, Rhapsody, eMusic, and many more.) We sell you the music and then we pay the artist right away. Cool thing: in a regular record deal or distribution deal, musicians only make $1-$2 per album, if they’re ever lucky enough to get paid by their label at all. When selling through CD Baby, musicians make $6-$12 per album and get paid weekly. </description>

Our community of designers do - all through millions of shops we help them run.</description>

	<link>http://www.mnusa.com/mwebdir/News_and_Media/Magazines/677</link> 
	<description>We at The Dead Hub like to think of ourselves as the unsung heroes of the pit.  We’re the people you don’t see when you are being crushed towards the rails up against the stage.  It’s the greatest thrill and sometimes the scariest place to be because literally anything can happen.  This place is the convergence of energy from the audience and the artists, and we are lucky enough to capture that and deliver it to you, the fans.  What started out as a hobby and passion for two Columbia College grads is now a new source for completely digital music news and live reviews.</description>
