The Podcast Now Lives at Orju.Net

Mon, 24 Nov 2008 18:22:48 -0800

Hello,

It has been several months since the last episode of the TEM podcast. I am just sending this quick show out to everyone to inform you that I will no longer be updating this feed. TEM was a great experiment and I am ironed out many of the kinks. The show now has a new name and new website over at Orju.net. I hope to see you there as we transition this show over and continue to kick out some of the best music production related podcasts on the net.

Video #2 - EMU Command Station Tutorial

Mon, 13 Aug 2007 18:52:42 -0700

This is an older video that I have done that outlines the basics of the EMU Command Station. An older sequencer workstation, that was IMO ahead of its time. This tutorial will primarily focus on how I use the Command Station for live performance.

It is in .WMV format, so I apologize to anyone having issues with it. Like I said it is an older video.
