muzikDEN - Episode 2 (October 2006)

The second episode of muzikDEN, the monthly vidcast about all things musical, is now up at commandN.tv and muzikDEN.com!

We've got some great stuff in our October episode, including a peak at Gnarls Barkley and the Flaming Lips at the Virgin Fest; I talk to the organizers of the Atlantic Jazz Festival about what's involved in putting on music festivals; Paul Keddy shows us the basics of reggae drumming; Terry Pulliam shares tips on vocal micing; I twist around some blues changes in our first composR segment; and guest host Haley Thomas points you to some free audio mastering tools on the web.

NewsFlash: YouTube profile

I've been a little lax on postings lately because of a variety of things:

1. We're doing the final edits on Episode 2 of muzikDEN (which took longer than expected for a number of reasons) - it'll be posted in the next week, though;
   
2. I just received my new Mac Pro and had some difficulties - more about this and a rundown of the steps I take in setting up a new Mac in my next MacOnMacs post;
   
3. and I still have to do my "day jobs" so I've got some money to finance the rest of these endeavours :-) .

In the meantime, though, I wanted to share with you a great article that a commandN viewer, Sid Yadav, has up on his rev2.org website. Sid has done a great 2000+ word profile on YouTube that has pretty much everything you'd want to know about the service.

Sorry for passing on the writing responsibilities to someone else for this post, but I needed to prioritize my efforts while still providing you, my dear readers, with some new info ;-). More soon!
