Newest Technology In Surround Sound Debuts In Hollywood


Have you watched the movie Brave?  This newest technology from Dolby takes audiences from around the world to a whole new level of surround sound experience.  Imagine watching a movie and listening to footsteps running around the cinemas.  Or imagine watching an action film where a helicopter hovering around a particular building in the movie will make you feel as if the helicopter is hovering on top your head.  This is made possible by adding ceiling speakers inside the movie theaters; pulling single audio elements from the soundtrack of a particular movie and assigning them to individual speakers.  Imagine having this inside your house while watching an action packed movie with your family or listening to your favorite music, what an exciting new experience.  Imagine every beat of the drum and every strum of the guitar being separated in all your in ceiling speakers around your house.  Would technology bring it to a point where you can listen to your favorite radio station through your in ceiling radio and get the same experience as this new technology has to offer?  This is a totally new and thrilling technology that is yet to come.
Going back to Dolby’s newest technology, which they call “Atmos”, the goal really is to make the movie experience more real.  This is achieved by creating more points of sound inside the cinema through multiple ceiling speakers.  This will create a higher resolution field that will produce a more natural sound.  Aside from its immersive capabilities, Atmos technology can bring the same surround sound experience to any spot within the cinema.  Moviegoers will have uniform sound experience wherever they wish to sit inside the theater.
So far only 21 theaters around the globe are Atmos ready and this already includes 15 theaters from the United States.  With this technology out in the market, it is no longer impossible to also have this Atmos in mobile applications, computers, and stadiums and even in your own houses.  Having a new surround sound experience with the feeling of really getting immersed to what ever you are listening to is now only a few feet away from possibility.
Feel the new experience.  Get immersed.  Enjoy premium performance that will envelope you in sound!

Why is it that massage has become so common in today’s’ generation?  Does it mean that people of this day and age are more stressed and anxious?  Or has it become a lifestyle?  No matter what you’re reasons are for a massage, bottom-line is to relax and rejuvenate your body. 
Music on the other hand has a positive effect not only to our brain but also to our psyche and body.  This is also the reason why there is a growing demand for music therapy.  Music relieves us from the stresses of life.  While stress can kill, music can bring back our body to life.  Certain kinds of music actually lower blood pressure and heart rate, normalize breathing and lessens cholesterol.  That is why music is essential when exercising.  The faster the music the fater the heart rate, the slower the music the slower the heart rate.  If you want to burn more fats, you listen to fast music while running.

Music Enhances Employee Productivity


Moods and behavior are greatly influenced by music.  Employee productivity is influenced greatly by music.  Will installing an in ceiling radio inside your office lobby or inside your company’s pantry increase your employee’s performance thus resulting to greater productivity?  Although there not too many studies that prove that indeed music can influence one’s performance, there are still a lot of people who are doing great at what they do and would prefer listening to music while working.
Have you heard of the Mozart effect?  Let me quote it from lifehacker.com and it says “It suggest that listening to certain kinds of music—Amadeus Wolfgang's classical works, in particular—impacts and boosts one's spatial-temporal reasoning, or the ability to think out long-term, more abstract solutions to logical problems that arise.”  Different studies show that listening to Mazart songs does not increases one’s IQ but it induces a short-term improvement on the performance of certain kinds of metal tasks.
Does music really have a positive effect on the productivity of the employee?  A retail company tested the effects of music on their employees by giving out stereos to wear for four weeks while working.  After the trial they achieved a 10% increase in productivity from those who wore the stereos.  A similar study was conducted at University of Illinois and they found a 6.3% increase when compared with the no music control group.  In Canada, some software developers were tested and study show that they were at their lowest productivity when they had no background music to listen to.  It also showed that it took them more time to finish a task in the absence of music.  On the other hand, there was a positive mood change and enhanced perception when music was played while they were working.  Researchers from University of Windsor noted that this positive change in mood correlated with increased curiosity, which was an excellent thing to have when doing creative work.
Bottom line is, no matter how many times it is proven that music has indeed a correlation with employee’s productivity and performance, it still depends on the individual if he will be persuaded by the music or not.  Listen to music that will influence you positively.  Learn to read the lyrics first before listening to it.  These lyrics will enter your subconscious and will be stored there for a period of time.  So it is very important that you filter the music that you listen to.
Music is one of God’s greatest gifts to mankind and it will definitely help you be more productive.  Question is will you be influenced by it or not.

Effects Of Listening To Good Music While Studying


Did you know that listening to classical music stimulates our brain?  No, not like this image on your left.  However, music can also make you sleep well – just don’t do it while working or you may get in trouble.
They say that Mozart’s music can kick start your brain or improve your intellectual capacity.  Several studies have proven that there are cognitive improvements in those who listened to classical music before taking on any tasks or examinations.
Listening to classical music will not only improve your brain functions but it will also help you with your mood.  Music will help you in having a positive outlook towards others and how you view life.  Be careful also with what type of music you listen to.  If you keep on listening to depressing music, it can influence also your mood and make you depressed and view life negatively.
Music can also influence your health.  Classical music can relax and soothe your brain, decreasing the level of stress, which is most of the times, the cause of critical illnesses.  Studies also show that those who have experienced heart attacks and strokes can recuperate faster and can gain their speech much faster if music is incorporated with their therapy. 
Aside from stimulating your brain and make you healthier, music can also influence work performance.  Imagine an office with no music at all.  People tend to work slower and they get bored easily.  Aside from stimulating your brains, music can actually set your mood for work.  If you listen to an upbeat music, it gives you extra energy especially when you are on overtime and you need some kick in the butt to keep you going.  Vary what you listen to.  Listening to too much pop or rock in one day can have a different effect.  Try listening to classical music but make sure that you don’t sleep.
A lot of people believe that music lifts up their soul.  In some cultures, music is part of their everyday rituals.  Music is indeed a healer of the soul.  If you’re a stay at home mom, music can also influence your day-to-day chores at home.  You can listen to good music while taking a bath or while preparing dinner by installing an in ceiling radio and in wall speakers, which can definitely give you good music and pristine sound, along with delectable food for your family.  Just make sure you don’t swing the pan while enjoying your good music or you might accidentally hit your husband with it.
