ugh...

well the other day i couldn't get the recorder/mixer to work right together...the type of connection thingie i was usuing worked when i borrowed David's single cable...but now that i went out and bought what i needed for 16 of my own it doesn't work right...agh! and i'm pretty clueless as to why...it's quite fucking annoying...i guess i'll eventually get the whole thing figured out...if anyone knows anything about mixer->recorder interface, ummm...that'd be cool or something...after that failed attempt, Brad and i went over to Keith's and sat around while Keith and Chris and two of their friends painted their apartment...when everyone had left and they were too tired and all i finally drug myself home...

i worked today...la la...durring my split i went to Wherehouse:
Dinosaur Jr: Bug
The Fucking Champs: IV
more cock rock than possible for one whole night...the Dinosaur Jr's pretty good...some of it's really good (of course until J starts up his blazing, cock shreddery thus ruining a perfectly decent song...) but i think this one's relatively hard to come across so i'll hang on to it...although i'm prob'ly hanging my hat on any future Dinosaur purchases...this and Green Mind are prob'ly more than enough...or something...as for The Fucking Champs...they're ummm...fucking terrible...i heard they were supposed to be good...compared to Trans Am and the like...but they're just fucking cock...sounds like fucking Van Halen and shit...it's not even good stuff w/ a little cock thrown in for wackiness...it's just pure fucking cock rock...it's god-awful...hipsters'll listen to anything nowadays...jesus...this one's definately not a keeper...

after that i went by Black Lodge to drop the Destroy All Monsters video off...i then rented Strange Früt Detroit Culture Part 1: Rock Apocrypha...i think it's a re-enactment of the old Detroit scene...i think Destroy All Monsters might be in it...but i'm not sure...not sure when it was done exactly...but it should at least be worth a watch...

then back to work...i got there a little early 'cuz i ran out of things to do, but Floyd had run out of gas while on a run and they were backed up and needed me anyway...they even offered me free food again for almost no reason...so when it was all over i got a small pizza even though i had eater earlier and wasn't that hungry...and i ate it while driving home...exciting shit here...

also, the switch at the top of each group of 4 tracks is for "phantom power 48V"...it's not a line/mic switch (at least not that i know of...) any clue as to what that's for? and possibly to clear anything up...each track has a 1/4" "line in," a 1/4" "insert," and an xlr "balance in"...

oh, it does phantom power by groups.. that's weird. phantom power is for condenser microphones.. it's a way of powering them through the audio connection. i have no idea what the 'balance in' is for.

the xlr "balance in" may be for a balanced line(2 signal) cable. lemme know if you get it set up or not. I don't know too much but I might be able to help if I can see it.

oh, yeah

is this an analog 16-track? I don't recognize the model. I didn't think to ask 'til I noticed your comment on the phantom power configuration. I may or may not be able to assist but I'm willing to try. you gots my numbah, gimme a call if you like.

yea, it's analog...you're more than welcome to come look at it all...i'm beginning to suspect that the materials i have are a hopeless situation, but there might be some way around it...even w/ what i have...who knows...
