On the other hand, you must have heard the tales of musical maestros who could make it rain or set things on fire with the sheer power of music.
While we cannot imagine why you would want to do those things now, but if you did, we’re pretty sure it would be much easier for you to achieve them thanks to the audio technology at your disposal today.
