What do I receive with this membership?
For your yearly membership fee of $25, you will receive 1 sound file each month (MP3 and FLAC formats). This soundfile will be from 3-6 minutes long and will be generated from the group energy dynamic. You also receive a 10% discount on all CDs, MP3s, FLAC files, DVDs and Books created by Shapeshifter in our current catalog and any new products we release throughout the year (not available on our discount packages or with the DNA.L2.2012 series). You will also receive the special SignUp Bonus Gifts listed above.
Why are you doing this?
Let's face it, the world is changing, all facets of it. How one does business is changing all the time. The music industry is going through major changes and has been for some time, which of course, directly effects us and how we make a living. With the ease of file sharing and illegal sites popping up all the time in other countries, we find our music is everywhere and yet, we are not receiving compensation for it. While first and foremost, we do this music, because we are doing what we Love most on the Planet. With that said, we still do live here in the 3rd dimension and our work does require considerable financial support to keep it going. Most people who love our soundscapes receive ongoing benefits from listening to our music for many years, so this is just a way for you to tell us you care about the work and want to support us each year with your financial support.
If I have not worked with the DNA LevelOne yet or still working with them, should I listen to the DNA.L2 sound files?
Because these clips are small and compressed to MP3 format, you are not going to get the full effect of them as you would if you were working with the entire 60 minute soundscapes. Consider these to be like watching a trailer to a movie, you will get the idea of the movie, but not the entire piciture. We feel it is important to start seeding these frequencies out on the planet to prepare people for the full range of frequencies yet to come when the 12 soundscapes are finally released. We also feel that these clips will enhance the work anyone is doing with the LevelOne series. If they do not feel ready for the L2 yet, then this is a good way to begin getting ready. A suggestion would be to listen to all these DNA L2 clips and then go and do a full listening session with any of the 4 DNA LevelOne soundscapes and you will notice what we mean. 
What if I can't download MP3s or FLAC files?
For those unable to download, CDs will be available for $6 plus shipping. However, we strongly suggest you use the download formats to save time and costs on our end, save on shipping expenses and keep the planet GREEN - see our VMM Goes Green page for more info on learning how to download FLAC formats.
What is the difference between MP3 and FLAC files?
The monthly files will be made available as MP3 files and the full lenghth soundscapes in FLAC format. MP3 is a lossy compressed format, so you will have some of the high and low frequencies cut off/altered. This is fine for casual or unfocused listening in your Ipod types of players. We will compress the monthly files at 320kps, which is a pretty high quality file. The FLAC files are a lossless format and when unFLACed, you will have the entire sound file with all the frequency range intact, plus the full fidelity of the sound in the way in which it was intended to be heard. Once unFLACed, you will get an .aif or .wav file which is suitable for burning a high quality CD. Having the full range of frequencies intact is important when one is going to use this music to deeply engage in the transformational process. This allows you to expand fully into the multidimensional realms of the sounds as you continue to journey on your ascension path. The more you engage and expand your being into the sound, the more sonic information will be released to you. This is an ongoing process with this journey, your ears will continually reach out to hear the higher range of sound. We suggest you get the FLAC files and then compress them to MP3s, if you so choose, depending on what players you want to put them in. Use Itunes or similar app to assist you in the conversion. Apple Lossless is a good format to convert to in order to save space on your ipod.
How does the discount work?
Once you sign up, we will adjust your account with us to a Gold Member. Then when you want to purchase items, you will login to the shopping cart first and your member discount will be reflected in the pricing automatically. This discount will be available on all CDs, MP3s, FLACs, Books and DVDs. It is not available for any of our novelty items, essences, helixes or jewelry, nor on any of the discount packages or the DNA.L2 series.
How will the money be used that VMM gets for these memberships?
We always use all the money we receive to further our mission work on the planet. Personally we have few real needs, but the business requirements continue to grow. Gary is always in need of upgraded equipment and computer processing power, so we will recycle it back into those areas.
Can we add these to file sharing groups?
We have always believed in Sharing the Music and Supporting the Artists in any genre, so that they can continue to do their work. Artists don't have employers, they rely on those who love their work to continue to support them financially to do what they do. Just do what feels right in your heart and as you observe the laws of karma playing out in your own life, it will always be reflected back to you with your own abundance and manifestation goals. If you would like to add assmall sound clip to a site with the intention of introducing our work, that is a great, just be sure to refer them to our site. Please, Do not post any of our complete albums on any of the free download sites in FLAC or Lossless formats. If you resonate with the music then honor the creators. As you give, so will you receive in your own life from others in many ways. This is one of the principles of Abundance.
How soon can I start using my Membership?
As soon as we receive your payment, we will set up your account so that the next time you login to your account, you will see your special Gold Member pricing. This process generally takes place within 12 hours of placing your order. If you need to do it sooner, then just click on online chat or call us.
How will I be notified when new sound files are made available?
We will maintain an email list with everyone's name. We plan to have each new file ready within the first 2 weeks of each month. As new sound files are made available, we will send out an email, so be sure that your email address program allows emails from our servers and that they are not going into your SPAM folder. Be sure to keep us updated if your email address changes. We will also post an announcement in our Blog when these files are made available, so you can also check there - VisionaryMusicBlog.com (see Gold Member Category)
How can I help to further support your work?
You can tell your friends in your online communities and in your 3D world about us. Encourage them to take our free webinars and listen to our YouTube videos or podcasts. Share with them your experiences and encourage them to start with the Gold Program. Share the info with egroups, forums and social networking sites. If you are on Twitter, share our music posts with your friends.
Will my membership automatically renew on my anniversary date?
We will send out an email that your membership is coming due and you will need to submit your payment info at that time. We will not keep your credit card on file and will not automatically charge your card. Your renewal will continue with your monthly sound file and your 10% discount. You can sign up again to receive another option once you are in the program.
Can I cancel my membership after the first year?
We would like to ask that you consider this small amount as a regular yearly tithing to help us to continue to expand this work across the planet. We hope this would be something you would consider as a yearly contribution to something of Higher Light on the planet.
NOTE: To those of you who joined the first year when we initially set up the program with membership goals and projected milestones....based on your feedback and the interest in the program over the first year, we decided to review these goals. In lieu of that, we have revised the program to what you see above to convert the program in to an opportunity to tithe each year in exchange for monthly sound files and discounts. We appreciate your support of our initial goals, but we felt based on the results, it would be better to scale things back a bit.
