An Evening with George Shearing & Mel Torm�
- Mel Torm� & George Shearing
- Of the three men who taught me how to sing, the last was Mel Torme. Apparently, Mel Torme is a joke to anyone more than a decade older than me, a living parody of a Vegas crooner. But I stumbled on th

Frontier Design Group Releases iShred 1.2 for iPhone, iPod Touch
Monday, February 9th, 2009 at 4:30 PM - by .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)
Lebanon, New Hampshire-based developer Frontier Design Group introduced iShred 1.2, the company's complete electric guitar application for the iPhone and iPod touch on Monday. Based on the interface developed for Guitar, Frontier's advanced acoustic guitar app, iShred adds an amp simulator and eight effects pedals that let users create their own custom electric guitar tones.
For users needing additional effects, the program boasts the following features:
* Adrenaline - Treble Booster for that extra shot.
* HK-2000 Delay Unit - For that fat slap sound or cavernous echo.
* Hot Fuzz - Adds some spice, from light fuzz to heavy distortion.
* Kömpressör - Gives power chords massive sustain.
* Q-36 Space Modulator - Multi-pattern modulation pedal.
* Sybil - Dual chorus pedal with rate, depth, and mix.
* Trembler - Tremolo with controls for speed, depth, and waveform.
* Wahsabi - Tilt the iPhone to control the sound of this wah pedal.
Up to four effects may be used at a time, and the effects settings are saved with each song.
Other features includes access to a library of over 2000 built-in chords, scales, and fret positions. The application's buttons provide immediate access to all the chords and scales for a song, and allow easy switching between strumming chords and playing melodies.
iShred features a built-in recorder that lets players capture and refine their performances. The recorder can be used to share songs with friends, or to create tracks on the fly. The iShred recorder provides undo and redo, "tap tempo" and metronome functions, and saves each recording with its associated song. Recorder controls slide out of the way during playback and recording to maximize the performing area on the touchscreen.
Finally, the program allows users to save, copy, and back up songs via iShred's wireless web backup and retrieval which allows song data and recordings to be transferred to another iPhone, or to Frontier's acoustic guitar app, Guitar v1.2.
iShred requires iPhone OS 2.0 or later to install and run and retails for $4.99 on the App Store.
