Welcome to episode #53 of Music Tech for ME. After a year delay, the Music Tech for ME podcast is back. I’m so excited to be back on-line with new, and I hope improved, podcast episodes. As before, topics will cover music, music technology, and music education. The BIG new addition to the show… I now have a co-host. Joe Pisano from MusTech.net will be my regular co-host for all episodes. Joe and I have been discussing this for several months. We are looking forward to working together in bringing you some of the best content we can find. This first show covers some introductions along with some info about Joe’s new service (MusicPLN) and the upcoming ATMI 2010 National Conference (Sept. 23-26,2010 in Minneapolis, MN). Blessings!

Welcome to episode #52 of Music Tech for ME. Well it has been a month and a half since out last podcast. My only excuse is just simply due to the fact that my life has just been very, very busy. But anyway… here we are with a new episode and one I think you will find of great value. I learned a valuable lesson this summer as it relates to loading music software on computers that are setup with multiple accounts. By listening to this episode, I’ll share some information that could save you from running into the same trouble I did this past summer. Please drop me a line and let me know you all are back and are listening to the shows. Blessings!

Hi folks. No… I have not given up on the Podcasting. It has just been a very busy start to a new academic year. Once I get things up to speed, I will be posting a new podcast. Thanks for listening and for your support. Blessings!

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!
