Don't come out later complaining it broke because all the electrons fell out...

Looking at it, if your rack was more compact, you could slide the hole thing right-side up there. It seems to be only slightly larger than your bog standard 19" rack.

A non-portable rack would fit. Being ready to carry it out to a show is nice, but you are right... a new rack would solve the problem. 

It misses the fit laying down by like a quarter of an inch. I could just get a non portable rack, but I like making field recordings. 

It is such a perfect spot. Access from front and back. In the hangout room. I'm going to try it. If gear dies I'll upgrade. 

I'm considering putting all my gear on its side.  Anyone do this? 

Am I likely to overheat? Damage stuff? Or can I get away with it? 

This is a log pass through for the for place, so it has front and back access. 

Emulators are interesting but not equivalent to the real thing. 

Try ribbons!

When it stops feeling fun, plug in, stand up, close eyes, play. 

Meh

Charles, you are choosing to display your birthday. I think this is not necessary. I would hide that bit if personally identifiable information. 

Clip gain is different from track gain. 

You cannot automate track gain. 

Some talented folks use clip gain to feed audio into compressors rather than automate faders on the other side of the compressor. 

The main reason I use track gain or bus gain is adjust the level without risking input clipping. For example, set guitar gain so it will not clip them turn up track gain so it is a little hotter going into thu.

Really, the most common is turning down Bus gains so tracks don't clip busses as they merge together. 

Mixes often inch hotter and eventually clip a bus. Rather than run around notching tracks down, I reduce the bus gain 1db. No more clipping. 

Noel confirmed that this doesn't just hide a clip, it avoids it. 

My interface has a 'total reset' choice. 

I am not sure how many times that has repaired it from hopelessly damaged.  I'm always sure I broke the hardware, some mic was so hot it melted something, then I reset and poof the transistors heal. It is magic! 

I went to moog fest a few years ago in North Carolina. I honestly mostly use pads under guitar. I love some of them.

I enjoyed going through the syntorial lessons.

I don't think I've finished all of them. 

My gr 20 has a decay midi value you can use to control synth things like a filter. 

It is kinda cool but I don't spend a lot of time with it. 

I'm ashamed to say, I use a lot of presets.

Except when I don't.

I really enjoyed that video. 

I have a moog-munger friend who got one of these...

He has all kinds of moog stuff. 

He just got this...

Anyway the video was cool. I love the cool stuff you can do with them. 

Honestly, he's the only friend I've had that does it. It's not the same as laying pads under your guitar work. 

This is us goofing...

Dessing live helps the performance. 

I think things work best when the artist performs through the fx chain. 

It is not that hard to set up and it can change your performance some.

These things together enable us to use our computers better, imho.

Sorry about your back!

Play the one note trope followed by a BBBUUUUuuuuujjjjjjjjj.

I should know this, but I do not...

If you have a track with lots of take lanes and you apply a region effect, like Melodyne... does it take whatever is audible? If you change it, does Melodyne update?

I have always worked with Melodyne by creating a separate track. Is that what others do? I guess I'm still kinda old school. I don't mind using the take lanes to just gather up a bunch of takes, but I usually split them out and do things manually afterwards.

Am I alone in this? Everyone else go the fast comp down?

I love using then with the ashtray on. If you have one, I recommend trying it. 

Fat Freddy of the Fabulous Furry Freaks?

Once the gulf stream stops, I'm guessing the UK will cool right down.

I can record with a laptop or my desktop. It's not the same as the daw, but kinda a fun challenge.

I'm sorry for your troubs, btw. Buying parts that may or may not do the job is a gamble I don't love taking.

I also hate reinstalling everything. I'm surprised sometimes at how little I've come to care about many of the things that are part of my install routine.

But it is nice to have a computer that has everything you might want... including that cool 32 bit plugin from way back when.
