I've been dabbling with audio editing software, especially when at home, I love to write music. I've been trying to find an audio interface to connect my microphone into my computer to record audio, but haven't been able to find one that was convenient and could go from XLR to USB. All of the added features seem fantastic as well. Thanks! Keith,

Many of the Web 2.0 applications and programs will be a great help when I become a music Educator. This podcast was very interesting. I can't wait to try the programs you talked about. I believe they will be very beneficial in my future. It’s so cool how we have so many resources that are free for us to use.

I always wanted to try Garage Band, but never had the opportunity. I'm used to Sibelius, so I think branching out and using a mixing program like this would be a worthwhile experience.

I have been looking for a good recording device that I can hook into my computer via USB and this one sounds pretty low-maintenance. The sound quality was also quite good. I will definitely check it out. This is a very interesting product.

Thanks for this episode. I have been wanting to learn how to record some audio on my computer, but I really don't know a whole lot. I have two questions, would you suggest this "icicle" to a beginner, that is, would it be easy for me to use even though I don't know a whole lot about these things? Also, what microphone would you suggest I look for if I am looking to record things with a decent quality, but nothing too serious? Please let me know what you think. Thanks! Hello!

I'm actually an organist and wonder about a lot of the extended exposure to loud volume levels. I was glad to hear you mention even how playing in a band or wind ensemble can have damaging effects, that seems to often be forgotten.

The free notation application is great for college students such as myself who don't have enough money to purchase finale or sibelius. Awesome podcast!

I started listening to you podcasts as an assignment for my Instructional Technology Class. I found your podcast on youtube.com really interesting. I just wanted to share with you my experiences with teaching using Youtube exclusively. I am a student instructor for our Saturday morning string program called Western Kansas String Academy and one of the classes that I taught in the spring semester for the first time was called the iPod/Youtube exchange. Middle school and high school students would bring in and share appropriate music related videos and then we would discuss what we saw and heard. I was always amazed at the chain reaction this would cause every Saturday morning. One video shared would remind another student of one they had seen which would remind another and so on and so on. There was never any shortage of thinks to watch and listen to and we also had several deep and thought provoking discussions.

I enjoyed it thoroughly. One request: Are you aware that your podcast is not available through the U.S. iTunes? (At least that's the message I seem to get when I click the icon.) How about making it available somehow? Again, thanks! Thanks for the podcast, guys. I enjoyed it thoroughly.

As for that "Pittsburghese" thing...you're talking to a "Southerner" here. Accents are a wonderful part of heritage! we shall embrace them. Skype was not very clear that day. I would say in the future, we may do a "Double Ender". That is where you record your conversation while I record my coversation. You would then just email me your part and I would create the mix. Thanks again for doing the interview and we will do another in the very near future. Blessings! Keith Joe,

Funny thing is that no matter how much I try, the "Pittsburghese" always comes out in my voice! I wish the Skype was a little clearer. I didn't have that kind of audio quality on my side, you were coming out very clear. I'll have to check into that... Thanks again! Joe Keith,

I'll check it out! However, my gut feeling is that those who are really serious about music will benefit most from a live person guiding, evaluating, commenting, etc. on their musical work. A computer program won't explain why a particular musical passage doesn't sound as good as it could. Having said that, it may turn out to be incredible. Sounds very interesting! I’ll check it out!

As for your question, yes there are a few good text books to use. Check out Course Technology at www.course.com for some excellent text book resources. Backbeat Publishing is another good publisher of music technology materials. The best sources you have is the internet. Websites like James Frankel, Tom Rudolph, the TI:ME Website, and a few others are loaded with some great resources. You can go to several of these websites and you will find they have resource pages full of listings. I have a small one on my website as well. Blessings! Hi Brian,

I am currently in my junior year at Grove City College studying music education and I am enrolled in a music tech course this semester. In my high school, they had just started a music technology course a year or two before I left and I didn't have the opportunity to take it. I heard from some of my peers who did, however, that they were unimpressed with the content and quality of the curriculum. I suppose it's to be expected that any new course would take a few years to develop and grow and it seems that they're doing something right in Haverton.

What a great program! The ability to create such a computer program just seems incomprehensible to me. Tom Carruth is essentially changing music technology and education not only for songwriters and sound/audio technicians, but primarily in the classroom. The fact that kids are actually asking for homework assignments dealing with Finale is amazing. This Finale, Finale 2008, I believe will be the best we have seen. The use of real audio samples instead of synthesized recordings is genius. Wow! What a great program! The ability to create such a computer program just seems incomprehensible to me.

The smart music program would definitely be very useful me as a future music educator. It sounds like something that students would enjoy using. It was also nice to hear that most of the employees that work at Make Music either have a degree in music education or have taught music. It was also exciting to hear about all of the new features of Finale. It sounds like it is a lot easier to use and there is so much more tha you can do with it.

I've listened to a few other episodes and all of them have been very informative. As a future music educator I feel it is important to get as much information about software, other technology, and personal experiences of fellow educators. I really appreciate your insights into various aspects of the teaching world. Being aware of new technology and staying on top of a budget is an essential element to successfully serving students in a classroom. As for high speed internet, I also have a cable modem at home and it definitely makes working at home efficient and enjoyable. Wireless routers are really nice to have in a home with multiple desktop and laptop computers! Thanks again. Mr. Mason,

My own experience with attempts at notation software were with Midisoft's Recording Session 4 and Magix's Midi Studio 7. Neither were notation driven, both being designed more as midi sequencers. Thus Notion's products are very appealing to the end of notating music. Granted, as a college student, a $600 software program may be out of my price range, particularly since I would prove a casual user. I'd consider purchasing Protege, which seems to be available around $70. It'd be interesting to contrast the functionality of both programs as well.

Being able to immediately record, compose, and reproduce makes work in the classroom and the entire music world much easier and user-friendly. Thanks for opening my eyes to 'Notion' and 'Protege'--it's nice to know these are trusted products from a tested company. Also hearing your experience with Apple's new products is helpful to know first-hand how they perform. It’s really great to hear about all these new (and exciting) technologies!

The thing I thought was really cool was the fact that all of these very accomplished musicians can give lessons to anyone who wants them (and they can have them right in their house!). This is definitely a good example of using music technology in a very positive way. I'll be interested to see how these online music lessons develop.

Even for people who never used Finale or Smart Music, Tom Carruth explains the new applications and features for "Finale 2008" very well. It was nice that he gave some examples on certain procedures to help the listener understand better. I specifically enjoyed hearing the brief history of Finale. Most of the time, for any product we use (myself included),we do not know what is involved in the process of how it got to us in its current state. Lastly, I will definitely check out the "Smart Music" website. As a future music teacher, it could add a whole new dimension to students' musical experience in the classroom.

Various models and makes of computers can add to the dilemma of this issue. This situation many times effects school labs as well. Due to budget restraints, many schools cannot afford to update all their computers at the same time.In these lab situations, I can only suggest that you try to keep each system together as close as possible. It may sometimes be necessary set each computer to the same configuration as possible; which could mean, that the oldest computer sets the parameters for all the stations. You are so right Jill.

This is a notorious issue in the music technology field. In our studio we face a larger issue, if only that we have several different Macs, all bought at different times. Some have older versions of software which are now maxed out in reference to the hardware, and then some newer ones require a newer version of software and hardware - all are DAWs. Our predicament at Sharkbait has been: Do we cater to the older computer and sacrifice the newest fixes and capabilities of the newer version, or do we progress with the times (keeping up with the Jones's, it seems at times) and eventually create a dinosaur computer? It is my advice to anyone who wants to have more than one workstation (we have three) - buy them all at once. That way all will be the same and can be updated accordingly together. But is this truly good advice? I mean, how many people/studios can purchase three DAWs simultaneously? Schools can sometimes and do - for just this reason, I suppose. Thank you for your podcast. As a Mac user (most times) I have found the following website awfully helpful with seeking compatibility and troubleshooting for Mac-based software and operation system info: http://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa - hope it helps someone else. Keep up the great work, K.M.! See you around Belmont. Great episode. This is a notorious issue in the music technology field.
