Perform-V

If you’re serious about singing, you’ll find that sounding your best is about more than talent or vocal technique.

This is where Perform-V shines. What formerly required a skilled producer or a dedicated sound engineer can now be set up in seconds and offer the professional vocal sound that is key to an unforgettable performance.

My Newest Venture...

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 02 Jun 2016 23:19:00 +0000

My Newest Venture...

I started Kelly's Music & Computers almost 20 years ago because I was passionate about music technology. As a music teacher, I was excited about helping fellow music educators use technology in helping their students learn. I started Kelly's Music & Computers to use my expertise in music and technology to help others make the most out of computers & music.

In addition to music technology, I'm also passionate about eBikes. I love the freedom that my pedal assist electric bike gives me to go further and explore new trails. Living in a town with a lot of hills, I can leave my car behind and use my eBike for virtually everything - getting groceries or taking my daughter to school (and piano lessons, swimming lessons, knitting lessons, soccer, etc.) Not only is my bike ecologically friendly, but I've also lost weight and had a lot of fun!

I've decided to launch CitrusCycles.ca to share my eBike passion and expertise. CitrusCyles.ca sells eBikes across Canada, and we also do local rentals and tours here on Vancouver island. As a Kelly's Music customer, you can use coupon code KMC to get $100 off any of the new eBikes we carry. If you are on Vancouver Island or visiting here, contact me for discounts on our tours and rentals - I would love to share the joy of eBiking with you!

PowerStrip USB 3.0

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 19 May 2016 22:31:00 +0000

PowerStrip USB 3.0

Old-fashioned power strips just aren’t up to the task of powering all the devices you have today. Some of your equipment still uses the traditional AC power plug, but much of the gear you currently own—and will own tomorrow— is powered by USB. It would be nice to have a single power strip that handles everything at once.

That’s exactly what the PD11 Power Strip does for you. You can connect 11 pieces of equipment at the same time, with six AC outlets and five USB ports. One of the USBs is a dedicated 5V 2.1A charging port, for even greater convenience. You’ll also enjoy full-speed data communications over USB 3.0, backwards compatible with USB 2.0 devices.
