...Final Strategic Plan The recording industry, as it exists today, is witnessing reduced profits and high barriers in place for new artists. These barriers occur due to the diminishing profit margins and record labels cautious decisions on offering new contracts to artists. The organization that I will be starting is a digital recording and music distribution company. The company will offer recording facilities and internet distribution at a reduced price to new and existing artists. The recording facilities will provide state of the art equipment, professional staff, and worldwide distribution. The company will rely on the use of strategic management and planning. Strategic management is defined as “development of corporate strategy, and the management of an organization according to that strategy. Strategic management focuses on achieving and maintaining a strong competitive advantage” (CBS Interactive Inc., para. 1, 2009). To put it simply, strategic management is focused on creating a solid framework in which individuals and departments within the business will operate at the highest level possible. This type of management is critical to the long term success of a business or firm due to the reliance on strategic planning. According to InvesterWords.com (2009), strategic planning is defined as “The process of determining a company's long-term goals and then identifying the best approach for achieving those goals” (strategic planning, para. 1). Strategic planning...

...The era was named after the most important component in the audio-engineering industry at that time—the tape machine. A tape machine records audio onto magnetic tape, hence the name of the era. (Robjohns, 1997) Back then, a recording studio costed a fortune to create and maintain. To have one, or even work in one was an almost impossible dream. First of all, it was necessary to have a tape machine, which on its own costed about $140,000. (Jr., 1988) On top of that, the magnetic tape costs about $200 for 14 minutes of 24 tracks. The typical amount of tracks used back then was 48, meaning that for 14 minutes of audio, it would cost a about $400 in just tape. (Kagan, 2013) All of the equipment used was analog, which means that they record or process in real time. They record every measurable unit of time, whereas digital audio equipment records in sections. (Elsea, 1996) Below, there is a diagram of what an analog audio signal looks like compared to a digital audio signal. Analog equipment always comes with a hefty price tag. At the end of the day, to build a professional studio, you would have an over a million dollar hole in your pocket. As time progressed, so did technology. We entered into a new age—“the digital era.” (Wikipedia, n.d.) The cost to own a studio was cut dramatically, to the point where many people have them in their own...

...Property Protection An artist’s creativity is what sets them apart from everybody else. It is the determining factor in them becoming famous. An artist looks for the help of music labels and music studios to convey their messages and uniqueness into a format that can entertain masses of people. The important thing an artist has to offer is their intellectual property. So a music studios major function is to protect it as much as possible. An artist is purchasing a service that is going to help promote their image. A studio is making a final product for them to show the world. In reality a music studio is in the business to protect the intellectual property of these individuals. This paper will discuss a business opportunity and its obligations to protect itself as well as the people who purchase services from the business. Secondly, discuss the legal procedures to protect the business. Thirdly, depict some examples as to how those measures may not be sufficient enough to protect the intellectual property of individuals. A group of investors is interested in starting a music recording studio. This particular business will specialize in helping artists who struggle with getting their music recorded. The intellectual property associated with this start up is the works recorded within the studio walls. Every song has three copyrights that protect it from it being the property of another company. The first copyright pertains to the lyrics of the song. All parties that helped in writing...

He is a member of the Rolling Readers, a group that visits elementary schools to interest children in reading. Pete reads every week to a class he has adopted. To keep the children reading over the summer, he gives each child a book furnished by the Rolling Readers program. Pete also shares his love of reading by volunteering for the Radio Reading Service for the blind and print-handicapped. Once a week, he gets up at six a.m. and drives to a small recording studio. He takes the morning paper and selects the articles he will read from each section of the paper, judging from experience when he has enough to fill the hour.

...the art recording and music equipment in order to maintain a competitive edge and stand our ground. Efforts to contact various entertainment agencies will be made, for them to record using our studios and equipment, and quite possibly send their talents for voice training at our premises. An intimate partnership can be formed with profits to be made on both sides. Competitive edge Audiobeats will employ a two-pronged competitive edge. The first edge prong is having low overhead. Resources will be concentrated mostly on state of the art recoding music and recording equipment, and voice training programs and trainers. A significant amount would also be allocated to establish connections with established entertainment agencies. Advertising would also be one of our priorities, as we need to advertise our good recording studios and equipment. This would be more cost effective compared to conducting R&D of our own. For office work wise, space and resources allocated will be kept at it’s minimum. Audiobeats will also use our other competitive edge prong by retaining a low talent count. Although we offer “Voice Talent Services”, the other services we provide, namely: “Voice Over recordings”, “Music Recording & Production”, and “Facilities with recording equipment” – all these would require good equipment, studios and environment like for example soundproof studios and walls. To maximize output, scouts can be employed when people come in to use our recording services...

...Jose O. Perez Jeffery Benedict January 23, 2015 Analog Vs. Digital In Recorded Music When I began my studies at Cal State La I came into the program as a drum set performance major and wasn’t too knowledgeable about how the music recording process works. So when I decided to switch my major to the technology studies track I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of knowledge that I did not have. Not that I’m the best drummer in the world, but I was feeling like I needed a change in course and it seems that learning about something that I didn’t know much about was a really good use of my time. I’ve been using Logic to make recordings at home and once I began to understand what I was doing mixing and composing quickly became an obsession of mine which I am pursuing daily. From the very beginning of this journey I’ve taken to watching as many tutorials on youtube as I possibly can and am bombarded with knowledge, opinions, and a fare amount of useless crap. It’s interesting to see the very different approaches that people have to doing the same thing; and they all think their way is the best. What’s more is that there is this belief that the music business is suffering gravely from this supposed injustice that the digital age has inflicted upon those that are “old school”. So what I’m noticing is this large divide amongst people that use analog gear and those that use digital gear. The analog devotees are absolutely convinced that you can NEVER get the rich, warm, juicy and...

...Briefing note for the Human Resources Director: The organisations approach to collecting, storing and The use of H.R data. Purpose: The purpose of this briefing note is to review options to the business regarding the collection, storage and use of collected H.R data. Background: It has been requested that the organisations current policy regarding the above should be reviewed and where necessary, improved/amended based on the findings. Current situation: At present the following data is collected by the Human Resources department; * Personal Data. * Staff Turnover. * Absence Data. * Learning and Development Data. * Cost information. * Survey Data. * Performance of Employees. * Health and Safety. Some of the above data must be collected by law for legislative purposes. Other data is gathered and stored by H.R for use either as benchmarks or as an aide to future business growth. For instance Health and Safety data is stored for legal compliance and includes the storage of accident books and RIDDOR incidents (Appendix 1) that have occurred within the work place. This information may be used by the health and safety officer to reduce the number of accidents. If a number of incidents were reported involving staff using ladders, then a trend may be spotted from the stored accident data. This could then be used and less hazardous equipment utilised.

Purpose The purpose of this briefing is to inform the Director about a review of Brenikov’s approach to collecting, storing and using HR data. 2. Background The review was requested by the HR Director joining Brenikovs to ensure that it’s compliant with The Data Protection Act 1998 and The Freedom of Information Act 2000, the two main pieces of UK legislation covering the collecting, storage and use of data in the UK. 3. Current Status Currently the Freedom of Information Act does not apply to Brenikovs as it’s not publicly funded.

Brenikovs currently collects and analyses data on employee absence to identify any trends and allow the HR team to actively put in place working practices to minimise disruption. It also collects data on DBS checks as part of the recruitment procedures to ensure compliance with safeguarding and child protection legislation. 4.

...Parent, Adult and Child The passion for truth is silenced by answers which have the weight of undisputed authority - Paul Tillion Early in his work in the development of Transactional Analysis, Berne observed that as you watch and listen to people, you can see them change before your eyes. It is a total kind of change. There are simultaneous changes in facial expression, vocabulary, gestures, posture and body functions, which may cause the face to flush, the heart to pound, or the breathing to become rapid. We can observe these abrupt changes in everyone: the little boy who bursts into tears when he can’t make a toy work, the teenage girl whose woeful face floods with excitement when the phone finally rings, the man who grows pale and trembles when he gets the news of a business failure, the father whose face “turns to stone” when his son disagrees with him. The individual who changes in these ways is till the same person in terms of bone structure, skin and clothes. So what changes inside him? He changes from what to what? This was the question which fascinated Berne in the early development of Transactional Analysis. A thirty – five – year – old lawyer, whom he was treating, said, I’m not really a lawyer, I’m just a little boy.” Away from the psychiatrist’s office he was, in fact, a successful lawyer, but in treatment he felt and acted like a little boy. Sometimes during the hour he would ask, “Are you talking to the lawyer or to the little boy?” Both Berne and his...

...Materials and Methods: First, the ring stand was setup with the force transducer mounted on it. Next, the PoweLab was setup by connecting the force transducer cable to the back of the Bridge Pod. Then, the Bio Amp cable was attached to the Bio Amp socket on the PowerLab. The three lead wires were attached to the Bio Amp cable. Other materials such as dissecting dish, metal pins, scissors, forceps, strong thread with a barbless hook, acetylcholine solution, epinephrine solution, and Frog Ringer's solutions in cold, warm, and room temperature were collected. The force transducer was zeroed by adjusting the baseline value to zero. A weight between 5 and 50 grams was hanged from the force transducer and was recorded for five seconds to calibrate the force transducer. The N value was calculated and the calibration was implemented. A double-pithed frog was dissected by making a longitudinal and lateral incision along the ventral surface of the abdomen with scissors. The tissue and the sternum was cut away to expose the thoracic cavity. The pericardium was cut away with the forceps to expose the heart. The force transducer was attached to the heart by lifting up the apex of the heart and piercing it with a hook. The tension on the thread was adjusted and the thread was left perpendicular to the table, instead of an angle. The lead wire alligator clips were attached to the pins holding the frog to record the ECG. The red lead was attached to the left forelimb, the black lead was attached...
