Lessons from a Streetwise Professor: What You Won't Learn at Most Music Schools was first published in 2011. It's a book that discusses contemporary issues in the real world of music, and the fact is, much has changed since then. An update was needed, so voil --the second addition. For this edition, I asked Steve Danyew to contribute. He's a former colleague at the Eastman School, and as a young person, he's up on all the latest and greatest happenings in the tech world. He's also a fine composer whose career is blossoming now.

What has changed in the last seven years that affects musicians? Certainly, the use of video has gone through the roof, not to mention social media, email marketing, Facebook ads, boosted posts, GoogleAdWords, and the list goes on. More and more musicians now publish their own music and recordings. The Internet has made it possible for them to side-step the big publishing houses and record labels. It's pretty much a "given" that musicians who are building solo careers must have a strong web presence. They connect with their fans and often use crowdfunding to raise money for projects. And since this is the real world in which we live, we have to talk about money. Changes made by Congress have impacted health care and taxes. Is it better or worse? The answer is, it depends. Each individual's personal circumstance will answer that question. Then there is the manner in which musicians are compensated for their creative work--copyright, royalties and now-digital royalties are being reexamined. These subjects are all addressed in this second edition.

What hasn't changed in the real-world music industry is the human dynamic. Audiences still stand and applaud a performance. They don't applaud their sound systems or playback devices. They appreciate and recognize excellence and quality. That is really the essence of this book. In my mind, in order to find success in music two conditions must dominate:

1. Do something you love and commit to quality; and

2. Get your message out and get noticed.

Here's hoping the pages in this second edition will help aspiring musicians and old pros alike do just that.

Great for AR Glasses
This USB hub has been great for me! It's taken me so long to finally find a stable setup to allow using my XREAL Air glasses, peripherals, and charger at the same time. I've used this both with my phone and ROG Ally and I have not once had a problem. I even found that my ROG Ally manages to get the full supported PD of 65W, as long as I power the hub with a 100W PD charger. That said though, using a 65W PD charger is still more than adequate to charge the device while using various peripherals and a USB-C display. Previously I used USB-C hubs with HDMI out and another device to merge the HDMI output with a USB-A connection into a single USB-C cable that I use for my AR glasses. This setup worked, but would increasingly stutter/freeze the longer I used it forcing me to constantly unplug and re-plug it in. In trying to find a solution that didn't split and merge back the display signal with USB data/power, this hub was the only one I found that wasn't thunderbolt 3/4. I will say that I wish the cable to the host device was either longer and less rigid, or shorter with an optional extension cable. An ethernet port would have also been nice, but using up one of the USB-A ports with a USB ethernet adapter works if needed. Plus, if I wanted ethernet with it, then a dock would probably have been a better option over a hub anyway.

One of the only dongles that supports a usb-c display (alt mode) AND Power Delivery!
If you are like me and have laptop that only has a couple of usb-C ports (one of which has to be used for charging), but want to free up a port, this is the ONLY dongle I have found that does the job flawlessly AND affordably. The dongle has a usb C port. for power delivery as well as a second usb C that not only supports data, but has the necessary specs to support a usb C monitor (via DP alt mode). This is only dongle I have come across that has the necessary hardware to support a usb C monitor for less than 100 bucks.

(Steam Deck Verified) Works like a charm on Dual QHD 2560x1440 (1440p)
This could be one of those reviews where I tell you how well this works for work Zoom Meetings and the Monthly TPS Excel reports. But my primary concern was the Steam Deck my secondary concern was being able to see more work. Luckily it worked for both. The Steam Deck is capable of pushing to both 1440p monitors without any issues. I don’t have many AAA games, but if it helps: Hogwarts Legacy ran at full speed on auto detect (medium) graphics. No ghosting, no tearing, no lag. I tried No Man Sky for something with very high particle and blooming. Still ran like a champ. Mafia Definitive Edition runs like Estes Kefauver at a meeting of Murder Incorporated. If it runs on the Steam Deck this hub can push it… Remember my monitors are only QHD 1440p. One laptop worked amazingly. 1440p Zoom Calls, Excel Spreadsheets as far as the eyes could see. BOTH EMAIL AND CHAT OPEN ON THE SAME SCREEN! *Car salesman roof slap* This baby has so many pixels. The other laptop didn’t support video over USB-C nor Power Delivery. The USB hub worked very well as a USB hub though. The USB ports are all fast and reliable. My USB 3.x devices have varying speeds. I don’t think any device measured the full through put, but given the equipment I have to work with (it could be the equipments fault) I am happy with a 4.8 out of 5. Using the power delivery port on this hub will allow you to charge attached devices. Steam Deck charges, Laptops with USB-C Power Delivery charge. Laptops without power delivery will not charge. The ports with pictures of keyboards, please plug your USB Keyboard and Mouse in these ports. These ports are USB 2.0. They will run slow if any other devices are plugged into them. If your device does not support Thunderbolt, Alt HDMI, or Displayport over USB-C, You will not be able to use the video ports.

Great product, had an issue, they took care of it.
Purchased this to allow me to run one cable to a laptop and have monitor/power/external accessories all connect easily. After a few days I noticed my monitor would disconnect and I would need to unplug and replug the device. Reached out to Anker support and they responded quickly to help diagnose and then sent a replacement unit very quickly. Was seriously impressed with the support and follow up. Item has been working perfectly since - makes a great clean setup.

Worked like a Charm.
So satisfied. I’ve tried using extenders with usb hubs because the cable is too short for my Dj set up but the extenders don’t work. Not sure why. This one worked perfect with my own Dj tech tools green cable.
