MAX SOUND (MAXD) $0.85


Max Sound (MAXD) which announced that writer, arranger and Motown catalog owner Norman Whitfield Jr., joined the advisory board on 10/24, announced that another music luminary joined their board, legendary Grammy nominee and Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Member Mick Fleetwood.


This impressive advisory board speaks volumes about Max Sound’s revolutionary HD Audio™ technology. The company’s goal is to convert music libraries owned by all major record companies, into the new format much like conversion from LP’s into cassette, then later to CD -- which generated $100’s of millions for the music industry in the process.


The company has the opportunity to generate tens of millions in revenues, if successful in convincing the catalog owners and music buyers of the incredible and undeniable upgrade in audio quality.


Testimonials from industry experts and veterans include;


"We compromised the art for convenience with compressed sound for audio and streaming devices. I was ready to give up on the quality of today's audio, then I came across this revolutionary technology and it renewed my faith in the future of recorded music. If you're an artist, and you're serious about your craft then Max Sound is a must!" Mick Fleetwood.


"I was a big part of the Dolby revolution as I have always been searching to find the perfect sound quality, and now my search is over thanks to Max Sound. My Father would be amazed because he understood sound quality at the highest level and was the one who inspired me to be a perfectionist in the field of music." Norman Whitfiled Jr.


"It's like opening the door and hearing a song for the first time...When in fact you have known it ALL ALONG..." Carl Stubner, Co-CEO of Sanctuary 5B Artist Management, a Universal Music Group company, with offices in Los Angeles, New York and Nashville. Carl has worked with some of the biggest artists and performers in the world including Beyonce, Jane's Addiction, Nirvana, Alanis Morissette, Fleetwood Mac, Tommy Lee, ZZ Top, Billy Ray Cyrus, Seal, Billy Idol, and many others.


"We have been providing musicians with the best equipment and instruments we could get our hands on since 1947, but never in the past 40 years, including when CDs came out, have I heard audio sound as good is it does with Max Sound's HD process outside of a recording studio. They truly have their hands on a ready to deploy breakthrough technology that I believe will revolutionize the music industry and I am excited to join their advisory board and help make several key introductions that could lead to some tremendous partnerships.” Legendary Industry Icon and Westwood Music owner, Fred Walecki.


"Max Sound will allow us to take lower quality audio file source, regenerate the waveforms into spectacular clear listening quality as if the material is reincarnated at the highest 192/96khz bit resolution. It's literally a fractal re-birth of the sound, an actual artificial re-creation of the waveform." Award-winning American sound designer/supervisor/editor and composer Frank Serafine.


Max Sound was additionally featured in the Huffington Post which stated, “…Max Sound Corporation has the opportunity to generate hundreds of millions, if not billions, of dollars in new revenues for the entertainment industry…”


Huffington Post: In the 1980s, the music industry was energized with the introduction of the Compact Disc. In the 2000s, High Definition video changed how we watched television. In 2011, an innovative company in Santa Monica, California is going to change how we listen to music, watch movies, experience television, and communicate on our cell phones. High Definition audio is here. Hear it.


Max Sound HD Audio creates high definition audio content with extreme Realism and Definition in a way that no other audio technology compares! When the Max Sound process is applied to current standard audio, it is capable of reducing file size by up to 90%, resulting in a pristine and dynamic audio track (44.1 to 128kbps MP3). This provides a huge competitive advantage over other audio technologies, regardless of beginning and ending formats. The Max Sound process understands in real-time which harmonics have been lost or distorted during compression and is able to dynamically restore the audio to its original natural waveform. "This all happens in nanoseconds," says Lloyd Trammell, Inventor and Chief Technology Officer of Max Sound Corporation.


In the second quarter of this year, Max Sound Corporation introduced its patent-pending HD audio technology to the entertainment and multi-media industries. Present at these introductory presentations has been Max Sound Chief Technology Officer Lloyd Trammell, the legendary co-creator of Surround Sound who was instrumental in creating MIDI (The Musical Instrumental Interface), dialoguing in SoundSpeak to the top audio engineers of the leaders in the Movie, Music, Broadcast network, and Telephony world. Fellow Max Sound Advisory Board member Frank Serafine, sound designer on TRON and Star Trek, and Oscar Award winner for Best Sound Effects Editing, says Max Sound "is a fractal re-birth of Sound". Many of the sound engineers and industry chieftains arrived at Max Sound's Santa Monica headquarters as skeptics, believing that the Max Sound process defies audio science. However, after experiencing the power of Max Sound, they were transformed. Since its introduction, countless industry experts are now devout Max advocates. They are convinced that the Max Sound Technology will become the new go-to standard in audio delivery. "The effect this technology has on audio is so positively dramatic that it is reminiscent of 1982, when the CD was heard for the first time", says CEO John Blaisure of Max Sound Corporation.


Simply stated, Max Sound Corporation has developed the revolutionary process that converts any audio file to High Definition Quality while reducing its original file size. This means Max Sound can deliver better sound while taking up less file space. For example, imagine you streamed your favorite movie to your television or tablet. Using the Max Sound Technology, you will hear sounds that were lost during file compression and now have a more "True to Life" listening experience.


Max Sound Technology solves a problem that most of us are not even aware of. When audio files are compressed, these files are converted into square waves which are extremely harmful to our ears. Studies suggest that people who listen at full volume due to inferior sound quality are subjecting their ears to the same noise as an aircraft taking off and could be doing themselves permanent harm. Max Sound converts the harmful square waves back to their original wave format in the same compressed space. Which is the true miracle of this technology. Hence, better sound quality in less space.


On the cerebral level, Max Sound enhances the capability of human hearing. It restores audio to its organic level within the existing file format without any decoding. When applied at the mastering process or broadcast source, Max Sound protects the original recording, ensuring that as the audio is compressed and distributed throughout the Internet perfectly, sometimes 90% of the original intended audio will still be delivered and heard by the end user.


Today, electronic devices represent a large portion of the current and future in consumer entertainment. The world is in the beginning phase of a bandwidth crunch in which more and more audio content is being poorly compressed for Internet and broadcast transmission. This "world wide crunch" heavily degrades the quality of the audio, resulting in muted and vague sound. To combat this, Max Sound has built an App for the Android smart phones and tablets that converts music, video, and eventually voice during cellular calls to brilliantly deliver clear audio. This application will be available in the near future. The possibilities are endless. Max Sound Corporation has the opportunity to generate hundreds of millions, if not billions, of dollars in new revenues for the entertainment industry alone! If Max Sound can show consumers what the "industry leaders" saw, consumers will flock to have the latest version of their favorite artists' music, movies, and video games, and possibly re-tool their cell phones as we saw when Apple released their iPhone.


Max Sound has brilliantly created a technology that can impact the way we hear all audio from now on. As the company logo says, "Hearing is Believing!" The company is publicly traded under the Ticker Symbol MAXD. For more information about Max Sound you can visit their website at www.maxsound.com.


Warner Music Group (WB5). $8.25


Warner Music (WB5) which was acquired for $3.3 billion Russian billionaire Len Blavatnik’s Access Industries prior to going private, announced that revenues for the third quarter were $686 million, up 5% from the prior year quarter. Digital revenue was reported at $203 million or 30% of total revenue. So yes, contrary to popular belief, record companies are in fact generating billions in revenues.


For the first half of 2011, Universal Music (UMG) reported revenues of $2.6 billion and that digital music sales grew by 13.5%. UMG, the world’s largest music company with artists like U2, Amy Winehouse, Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift, Black Eyed Peas, Rihanna, Eminem and Lil Wayne.


Digital, of course, is the big driver of better economic performance. At Warner, for instance, while it made up 20 percent of total revenues in the second quarter, it also generated 39 percent more income, that it had a year before. Universal notes that its growth is fueled, in part, by "the momentum of digital sales growth."
