MusTech.Net!

I’ve used these guides for a number of years in my classes and it’s amazing to me how hard they are to find using Google, unless you choose your keywords very specifically.  These guides are free from http://www.shure.com and they contain a wealth of useful and succinct audio related information for music educators or those running theater performances in their schools.

Granted, they hype their own mics in the literature, but can you blame them?  Shure has put out quality microphones for decades and the information in these PDFs is transferable to any audio solution that you might choose or own.

Hello all,

I trust you all had a great Thanksgiving weekend!  There will be more of the “Best Music Freeware” & “Must Have Freeware” coming in the next couple of weeks.  I intend to finish up my favorite music freeware in the next 10 posts or so.  Then I am going to follow with a new series that showcases freeware programs that I use on a day to basis that help me to get things done with my computer and day to day operations.  These will include file utilities, graphic programs, video and more. 

Please feel free to “chime” in if you know of something that I don’t write about or know of something that is better than those I have listed.  I’ve saved some of the very best music freeware programs for last.  Stay tuned!

In an unrelated “mega music world shocker” that transpired over the last couple of weeks… did you all catch what the Eagles did through Wal-Mart?  They cut a deal with Walmart to release their latest album without a record label… and they’ve already sold over a million copies.  This created an amazing stir in the record and distribution agencies.   This move by the Eagles will no doubt be copied by others.
