  • Publication number: 20180367228
    Abstract: The present invention provides an audio processing unit having a microchip for processing an inputted audio signal. The microchip operates by duplicating the inputted audio signal, splitting the duplicated signal into at least two exact duplicates of the original inputted signal, layering the signals, processing the layers, and recombining the layers to provide an enhanced or processed audio signal. Thereafter, the processed audio file may be further processed by a user by utilizing any number of knobs, buttons, and the like disposed on the unit. Preferably, the unit is mountable on an open-frame rack.

  • Publication number: 20170140788
    Abstract: The present invention provides an audio enhancement system which is achieved by processing a duplicate of a recording or audio file and creating therefrom at least two identical secondary signals or two layers. One of the layers is the duplicated original and the other being an exact duplicate of that duplicated original. The enhanced audio files or recordings are used to enable the owner of the original audio file to purchase the enhanced audio. The user is enabled by the present system to compare the enhanced duplicate to the original to determine whether or not to purchase the enhanced audio.

  • Publication number: 20080115181
    Abstract: A method for providing a portal for an individual to access a web site for establishing personal relationships. The method includes the step of providing a portal booth to photograph the individual while the individual is in said booth to produce a photographic record of the individual, correlate selected demographic data about the individual with said photographic record, and transmit the photographic record and demographic data to the web site. The method also includes the step of correlating the photographic record and demographic data with an account for the individual at the web site such that other individuals can access the web site and the account to view at least said photographic record of said individual.
