Over the last several years, users of Macintosh computers have had the opportunity to use the simple, powerful, and very affordable DAW program “GarageBand”. Well Cakewalk, Inc. has now introduced an equivalency for Windows based computers called “Music Creator 5″. For this week’s episode, I interviewed Kate Watt (PR Specialist) and Samuara Krugman (Product Manager for Music Creator 5) from Cakewalk, Inc. to talk about the new DAW. For more info and educational pricing, visit the website from the link below.

If you are looking for a versatile, compact, and great sounding guitar effects processor, I suggest you investigate the PX5d from Korg. I provide a short review (with playing examples) of this powerful small form factor processor. You will see and hear that it has many features and functions. It would also make for an excellent guitar lab device. Blessings!

I’ve had a history of ear and hearing issues for most of my life. In fact, I just had some minor ear surgery back on April 9th before producing this podcast. So for this week’s episode, I thought I would share with you my history of hearing health as well as my thoughts on how we should be educating others about the importance of hearing health. Please share with me any stories you may have as it relates to musicians and hearing issues.

It was a pleasure to have back to the show my friend Joe Pisano from mustech.net. Joe has one of the best web/blog sites for all things music education and technology. I can always count on Joe to have some great tips and information to share with other music educators. I asked Joe to give us his top 4 sites that he is currently visiting on a regular basis. Hope you enjoy the show and don’t forget to drop me a comment or send me an email about this weels episode. Also, if you like the show, do a review for me over at iTunes. I would so appreciate it.

A few months ago, Korg released a new series of compact USB-controllers. The series is called the “Nano-Series” of midi controllers. The series consist of a “nanoKEY” which is a small 25-key velocity sensitive keyboard, a “nanoPAD” which has 12 responsive trigger pads and an X-Y touchpad surface (all which are great for drum programming), and lastly the “nanoKONTROL” which offers 9 faders, 9 knobs, 18 switches, and a transport section which can be used for controlling numerous functions within a computer based DAW. I purchased the ‘nanoKEY” and the “nanoPAD” last month and thought that I would do a review podcast of these great little devices. I also included a musical sequence I produced using only these two devices as my data entry tools. Check it out and let me know what you think. Blessings!

Podcasting is not as easy as some make it sound. There is prep work and production work involved that you sometimes don’t realize just how much time it takes to put these episode together. Due to these and other demands, we recently lost one of my favorite podcast shows.. “EdTech Musician”. Todd and Andrew Seymour have been producing podcasts for about 4 years. I salute them for how they helped pioneer the music technology/education podcast shows. They will be missed. Also for this week, I’ll talk about the presentation I gave at the 2009 TIME conference just a couple of weeks ago on the subject of “Screencasting”. I hope you enjoy the episode and please drop me a comment or email. Blessings!

Greetings everyone. Well I recently returned from the 2009 TIME/TMEA conference that was held in San Antonio, Texas. It was a terrific conference as always. But needless to say, I’m a little behind in school preps and other duties. I will attempt to post the next “Music Tech for ME” podcast on March 1st. Thanks for understanding and I look forward to getting the next show out in a couple of weeks. Blessings!
