I struggle as a bedroom (or rather, lounge - as in where the tv, sofa, children, wife, etc. live) musician, hoping that my tunes will make it onto some tv or movie blockbuster, so I can invest in some better recording equipment. That may not happen for a while or a long time, so the only way I can seriously get some decent gear is to either steal it (no way), borrow it (who from?), or win it. Which brings me nicely onto the fact that I wrote a blog post a few weeks ago on the new Music Tech Magazine Ning community, saying what a great place the site is. Then a few days ago, I got an email from the site admin people, saying they'd used my blog post in the latest edition of the magazine and I'd won the prize for "Star Letter." Talk about chuffed. My ramblings published in a major music tech magazine, and winner of Letter of the Month. The prize? A "Rode" studio microphone, complete with all the trimmings. Not bad, eh. If you're into music production, music technology, or anything like that, get yourself over to Music Tech Ning and join in....

Wed, 22 Aug 2007 14:41:28 -0700 Ning not Facebook or Myspace http://mistrustmusic.posterous.com/ning-not-facebook-or-myspace http://mistrustmusic.posterous.com/ning-not-facebook-or-myspace I've just signed up to a new "social network" for music technology and production people, run by Music Tech magazine in the UK. Called MTM Studio Net,  it says that it's

the place for producers, engineers and recording musicians to showcase their music and share production ideas.

So far, about 70 people have signed up in only a few days, probably people who read the magazine, but it looks like a worthwhile place to get some new ideas about making music and for people to hear my tracks. It's probably the sort of place to be if you don't want the hassle of Facebook or Myspace, and is part of the broader Ning umbrella where people can set up their own personal "social network". If you want to join MTM's Ning, head over to: http://musictechmag.ning.com/ Anyone else come across any other "social networks" for music technology or production that I can add to my blogroll?
