Earthquake in Japan 2011 - What We Should Really Know About This!


The recent earthquake in Japan was heart wrenching but what is the real meaning of it all? How does this fit with everything that is happening in the world right now and the 2012 theory? There seems to be such a mixture of opinions but many people don't know some of the scientific facts behind it all.

I think we only have to watch the news recently to realize there really is something going on with the planet. Last weeks shocking earthquake in Japan and subsequent devastating Tsunami just highlighted the fact. Before that we had the earthquake in New Zealand, then there was Chilli, Indonesia, there has been volcano activity, landslides, floods, strange weather patterns and even disease in Haiti. Not to mention the political and civil unrest all over the world and the unstable financial global economy.

So what does it all mean...are we really headed for the end of the world like some say?

The thing is that what we see is people really don't want to believe they are anything more than natural disasters that happen all the time through history. While that is true have we ever seen such frequency?..I don't think so! So there seems to be a kind of collective denial going on. We get no real answers from our Government's and it really does seem like they don't want to tell us anything or they don't really know.

Yet what is happening is very real and the pictures we are seeing on our TV sets and computers these days look like something from a movie, and they are happening with alarming frequency.

Now I don't like to be a scaremonger by any means, I have too much in my life for that but a few years ago I began to research this whole 2012 theory and what I found was quite alarming. I think what most people perceive is that the 2012 issue is some kind of religious apocalyptic idea dreamed up by doomsday crazies. Well what I found is it is not that at all, it is in fact quite scientific and when you look into it you begin to realize we, the human race are but a blip in the great cycle of the universe of which this planet is also a small blip. It just so happens we think everything revolves around us which of course it doesn't.

This is part of a great cycle of planetary and universal change

Back to the point and that is that this whole 2012 theory is according to some very eminent and leading scientists as well as philosophers part of a great cycle of planetary change. It is not the first time it has happened either and in his book "Fractal time" Gregg Braden lays out how the Mayan civilizations some 5000 odd years ago experienced exactly what we are beginning to experience and left a record of it warning us. Believe it or not, well up to you but there is some pretty hefty evidence to support all this.

But once again it is not really discussed too much, at least not amongst the general public. We had the movie 2012 which just kind of makes a mockery of the whole thing really and did a great job at playing down the reality of the situation and making the whole business fantastical. But.....that doesn't mean it has gone away, and what we are seeing now is just the beginning apparently and you tell me but do some of the scenes we are watching now on Television look like a movie or what? So actually I made my own little movie about it in fact and you can watch it here... Earthquake in Japan 2011 what it means

It just could be the end of things the way we know them!

You see the 2012 thing is not a one day event like some will have you believe. There is a date which represents more of a climax in the cycle but the changes begin before that date and continue after it too and what we are witnessing is exactly that....the beginning of the cycle of world change, which is why it is not the end of the world but more of a change of the world. It just could be the end of things the way we know them as parts of our planet begin to get changed by nature.

So what can we do? Because when you watch that Earthquake in Japan and the Tsunami after it there is no way you can out run that thing!








Well look I don't have any great survival plan or anything like that but I do believe people should become more informed about it all and be prepared. At least don't bury your head in the sand because when you finally realize it might be too late. I mentioned one resource I read earlier a book by Greg Braden called "Fractal time" which you will have to buy but another resource is an eye opening Free report at http://www.2012officialreport.com

My name is Dean Wallis and I am just a normal guy writing about normal things in life. You may not agree or even like everything I have to say and sometimes I know I might be a bit controversial, but really I just like to say what's on people's minds about life but sometimes they are too afraid to say!!.....but I do have a wicked sense of humor so watch out!!

About Music Production Software


You probably are either not aware of what software is out there to help you in a music production endeavor, or do not know where to start. There is a lot of software out there for creating and editing music, many of which are very professional. When it comes down to it, the software you will end up using will mostly depend on your particular taste in music production software. Although similar, most of the programs you will encounter have significant differences that will greatly affect the outcome of your music.

Propellerheads Reason 

Propellerheads Reason is a very unique software, turning your computer into a complete studio. If you are already familiar with making synthesized sounds and using a sequencer, Reason should not be anything out of the ordinary, and the learning process is very small. Reason comes packed with different synthesizers (including the powerful Thor Polysonic Synthesizer) and effects all at your disposal. For years, people have used this software because of its simplicity and professional organization. Another feature you might like about Reason is its ReWire feature. ReWire is a protocol developed by Steinberg and Propellerhead that lets you remotely control digital audio software through a host application. For example, Propellerheads Reason can be used as a slave application providing sounds to Steinberg Cubase's tracks using ReWire. 

Steinberg Cubase

Since April 1989, Steinberg GmbH has been developing a revolutionary project called Cubase (originally called Cubit). Today, it is among the most renowned music production software in the industry. Its long-standing innovations have helped the musical community flourish and quickly move from live recordings of instruments to sampled electronic instruments. Along with its reputation comes its use by film scorers to produce crystal clear and realistic orchestral scores, making it cheaper to produce soundtracks for movies now. Its clean and professional-looking interface lets you see what is what, and lets you work smoothly and quickly, if you are under time constraints.

Cakewalk Sonar

Produced by Yamaha, Cakewalk is another of the industry's leading music production programs. If you have worked before with software sequencers, you probably have had to deal with computer resource constraints from time to time and had to accommodate for them. Cakewalk goes around this by offering hardware that will handle the number crunching for the computer system, while it only worries about sending and receiving signals, and playback. Cakewalk has been around since 1987, when its first release for DOS was put forth. Learning to use Cakewalk is not exactly easy, but when you get around to it, you will be mastering music production shortly after.

Pro Tools

Produced by Digidesign, Pro Tools has been hitting big since 1989, when it first released as Sound Tools. Along with Steinberg Cubase, Pro Tools is another software that film music producers enjoy using. Sometimes they use both, like Hans Zimmer. Pro Tools' interface has very little fancy things cluttering the screen, giving you plenty of editing space. Most of the features are accessible through the menu. Just like many other programs of the same nature, Pro Tools implicates the ability to use hardware routed to the computer in order to do the heavy number crunching that eats up the computer's resources normally. However, unlike other programs, Pro Tools actually requires at least one Digidesign hardware component in order to run. If you have a high budget, Pro Tools is a good option for you.
