Things and Stuff for April 25, 2009
This week's show is available over here
In this show box:
I'm really starting to think that a format change for the show is in order, though I currently have no ideas on what I'd do with it in the future. Suggestions, of course, are welcome. Yep, burn-out time again. It happens to all of us, and it's been a few months for me. Regardless of my current outlook on things, I enjoyed this show for the most part. Now you can as well. Yay, or something.
Sorry for the late post. Due to some technical issues, and a certain well-known adaptive product which was mentioned on
audiorabbit03's show a few weeks ago, I had issues bending the archive to my will. As some know by now, I've decided to no longer like the sound of my Behringer Ultramizer compressor/exciter/limiter, though it's handy for streaming, so I use a separate archiving and mastering process. This means more work for me, but I like the over-all sound better.
Due to multiple issues with the studio PC after the show, I ended up editing it all from the laptop and a very cute little 250GB Freecom ToughDrive, which I got from
freakyfwoof. Good times... Maybe not? They don't seem to sell Freecom hard drives here, but man, they're cute and quiet.
In any case, enjoy this box of a thing, while I shove off for some much-needed maintenance on a few things around here.
In this show box:
- I made it back from London just fine, but my luggage didn't. As a result, I've lost a bunch of clothes and my home-made Jecklin disk, two years to the day after premiering the concept on TBRN. Investigation on lost luggage pending.
- I speak my mind using a stupid, short production about my thoughts on British AM radio (which they call medium wave), and show some very un-edited recordings of myself scanning the FM band from Andre's place. Radio is a bit different over there... sort of.
- Mommy calls to alert us to the fact that she was scared by a cart I played, and to update us on the status of "the hood." Was anything *really missed by being out of the country for a week?
- Proving once again that time is not of the essence around here, we pay tribute to buttons and knobs, with special guests
dgl1984 (and his Mommy),
nick6489,
kd6cae, Lino Morales, Randy Gilkey, and others, who were mostly not tuned in at the time. - Despite the fact that I now finally have sampling ram for my Yamaha Motif XS, I haven't yet installed it. After using the ram in it's packaging as fake percussion, I got a bit carried away at the keys, being boring, stupid, and anti-creative as usual.
- We then find out, purely by accident, what happens when you blend the ambients of the Gatwick Express train to Victoria Station with the fake wild west... kind of.
- More effects processing fun with buttons and knobs. Does that ever get old?
- Speaking of audio, let's talk about microphones. Might as well, since no one really cares, right?
