Shapeshifter's Shapeshifting Reality Show

We wanted to let you know about some changes we are making here at Visionary Music. As everyone is examining how they are doing business these days, we have reviewed our model with great detail to where we are wasting time, money and energy. The main area we have found is in our production & shipping department. We have been doing in-house production since we began this company which allowed us to streamline all our operations and maintain steady control over the  quality of our CDs and book. Because of all the titles we carry and are currently in the process of creating, buying in large quantities and maintaining inventory is impossible, especially now with credit markets dry. After much review and research, we have decided to start outsourcing this process, including the shipping as well, to a company called CreateSpace.com and probably to LuLu.com as well, as they both offer different options. CreateSpace is a subsidiary of Amazon.com and we feel they will be able to produce and ship our products out with similar quality and attention as we always have. They will produce each order as we submit it and ship out within a few days. This entire process is going to make our lives much more mobile now as well as freeing up some much needed time to continue working on our creative projects. DO NOT ORDER DIRECT FROM THESE SERVICES, continue to order from our shopping cart, this is only where they will be shipped from. Not that you can’t order from there, but then more $$$ goes into their pockets and now ours and we know you are wanting to support us

The other thing that is really affecting the music industry is the ease  of downloading music and books. Our download sales have more than doubled over the last year and continues to increase each month. This model is easier for us to maintain and it is easier for you the consumer in many ways. It will cost much less for the product, elminates shipping and provides almost immediate access to your purchase. All this makes the planet much GREENER and happier all around. We STRONGLY encouarge you know to learn more about this and to get the tools you need to be able to download all your digital content this way.

You may have noticed that we have started selling FLAC files, which is a completely lossless compression format that allows us to basically ZIP up our music files to a much smaller size for downloading. All you need is a small app on your end to unFLAC the files and then you have the full fidelity of our soundscapes on your computer where you can then easily add to your IPODs or burn your own CDs for your personal use. What you will end up with is a .aif or a .wav file. We strongly encourage you to learn how to work with FLAC files and shift over to purchasing music from us in this way. We are working on producing a small YouTube video to help you learn more about it for those of you who still are not confident about working with these files.

As you know, we don’t recommend compressing files to MP3s because you will lose some of the higher and lower frequencies that are needed when working with our music. However, you can use some of the Apple Lossless compression or MP3 compressed at 320 kbps options if you want to just use them in your players for casual listening. For the deeper work with the sound, we encourage full fidelity as always.

Our books are available in PDF format and can be easily downloaded using your Adobe Acrobat readers to view or print out the books yourself. Most everyone is familiar with this now, so we suggest you always get the PDF option with our books.

We have also recently converted both of the DVDs in the Activate Your DNA training program to individual downloads. These are a combination of QuickTime movies with MP3 sound files.

So what does this shift to a POD (print on demand) service mean to you?? Well, because this is going to cost us a little more now, we are going to have to increase the prices of all our hard copy products to compensate for this change. We have listed the new pricing below and this will be going into effect within the next few weeks. However, if you learn how to adopt to the download option, your costs will actually go down.
