READ ME FIRST: Many viewers, including special guest caller Chris Pirillo http://www.LockerGnome.com have asked me to show them the equipment used for the Alfred.TV webcasts. The webcasts are done on Thursday nights 9 PM US/Eastern and Sunday's at 8 AM US/Eastern; tune in at http://www.alfred.tv/live. This video was made to answer your questions. My broadcasting platform of choice is uStream.TV. Make sure you visit their newly enhanced site and create an account! http://www.uStream.TV

With regard to equipment, I make my purchases with Brendan Murphy from Sweetwater Music. You can reach him at (800) 222-4700, x1287; brendan_murphy@sweetwater.com ; http://www.sweetwater.com. Ask him for the "Alfred.TV" discount. If he can maneuver a price, he will!

Pass the word about my weekly webcasts. Also, if you'd like to join an unscheduled webcast, which I have called "stealthcasts", then follow this special Twitter account and push the posts to your mobile device: http://www.twitter.com/stealthcast

  • hey alfred, i see you do not use any midi in/out cables, so i guess you do not actually make electronic music but you make impromptu improvisation/ live show music fro your shows? (i've never followed you so i don't know what you do in your live streams)

  • @lucadepu Hi - actually, there is quite a bit of MIDI gear. Search for a video of mine with the title keywords 'The Gear Head', and you'll get a partial idea of what I'm talking about. Also look for the Korg OASYS unboxing video as well. I hope you enjoy the content! - Alfred

  • @adiblasi i've seen the delicious oasys and man are you a lucky dude. So then i see that you do have midi gear, hence the question, how do you mix/ send all the midi and audio to your mothership/mac since we all know we have limited usb ports and one audio jack

  • @lucadepu I have 3 MOTU 24 I/O's and a Motu 308. All 4 interfaces are tied to a DSP board in the PowerMac G5 (aka "Melody"). Every synth is 'on line' and routable. MOTU's Digital Performer is the DAW used to bring it all together. It's an incredibly complex setup, taking several months to wire, document and test. It spawned from my personal desire to 'collect synthesizers', and then, not really planned, a studio was born.

    You'll be hearing more of the audio output soon. Stay tuned.

  • Hey Alfred,

    I just wanted to say that it is amazing how much you have and how much you know. I hope to be as knowledgeable in time. Have a great day and keep making great videos!

  • @osmodivs All USB mixers that I know are USB Audio Device Class compliant. You've got support for this built right into kernel, so in theory it should be plug & play situation in any modern distro.

    MW12CX is (I believe) USB 1.1 device, so it should show up as a stereo audio device.

  • Does the Yamaha MW12CX works on a Linux Box?

  • what did you use to make that "welcome chris pirillo" robot voice sound

  • this guy got money.....:(

    

  • you're mario lopez

  • Alfred, are you from Gozzo, didnt you once work at the zop & osh hotel, lostia

  • wow, this video proves the older you get the shakier your hands get (just kidding Alfred)

  • holy crap thats a lot of mac pros....wish I had the money to buy gear like that
