Practice your musical instrument!

March 24, 2009 By Paul Maine

If you don’t practice for a day you know the difference, two days and your friends know the difference, three days and everyone knows the difference!

While you are sleeping the competition is practicing!

Set aside time each day with clearly defined objectives and protect the time slot.

Make practice fun!

Podcast Hardware and Software

March 22, 2009 By Paul Maine

There is a great deal of excitement over using new multimedia technologies. I recently embarked on a journey to get setup to be able to create podcasts and vidcasts.

I own a software company and our primary computers are Windows based however we have started to write Apple iPhone applications so I had to purchase a Mac computer. Since it is for software development – I just needed the least  expensive Mac. I ended up purchasing a Mac Mini for about $600 plus tax.  I am using the free LogMeIn software from my PC to remotely acces the Mac mini and share the Macs desktop ( this way I didn’t need to purchase an additional monitor, keyboard and mouse ).  I purchased a Samson G Track USB Microphone and Audio Interface. The microphone plugs in to a USB port on the Mac mini. I am using a $20 headphone that plugs into the Samson microphone. The Samson microphone cost about $129 plus shipping. I purchased a Canon FS100 video camera with a 16GB flash memory card ( priced at under $400). I purchased a $30 tripod for the video camera. I am using the iMovie and Garageband software that is included at no extra cost with the Mac Mini.

Mac mini           $600

Video Camera $400

Microphone     $129

Tripod                $ 30

Headphone      $ 20

Including tax and shipping my setup cost less than $1300.

This is amazing because only a few years ago a setup with similar capabilitiezs would have cost tens of thousands of dollars.

I will be writing posts in the near furture to recommend YouTube training videos.
