MR UPDATE

 
Hi folks,
Apologies for the lack of updates last week. First there was the need to move MR to a new server and operating system. Then my email crapped out and finally I threw my PC out the window.  So its Monday and I have an updated PC, the new server is running without issue (so far!).
 
So let's get back to business - get ready for a few MRR sale items and also new previews of the MRR releases announced in the last couple of weeks.
Cheers!

2018 DONATION DRIVE

 
The MelodicRock.com server is about to get OS and hardware upgrades and the website itself is scheduled for an overhaul behind the scenes to increase speed and capacity, ensuring things run better and faster than it currently is.
 
The entire overhaul is quite expensive, so I'm putting the donation button front and center for a few days in hope of a little reader support.
 
Thanks for stopping by MelodicRock.com - long may we continue!

Categories: 
News Feed
MRF5 is done and dusted, but once again I had the entire event filmed “official bootleg” style.
The footage is currently being put together and edited, as there are 4-6 camera angles to work out.
 
Select performances from the event will be available on MR-USB4, a strictly limited edition release of just 100 units.
 
Date of availability is still TBD, but will be this side of Christmas!
 
Here is the first video preview of some of the fully mixed/edited footage...
 
 
Below is the link to pre-order. Presales were offered to past participants and MRF VIPs, so there is less than half the allocation still left. It will sell out, just as the other USB drives have.
