Mixer Wiring and Photo Resizing

Some months ago I had to tear my studio apart to go play a live gig. I didn't set it back up when I got back from the gig. I put all the gear back in position on the shelves but never did the cable reconnects.

Today, I've been slowly tracking which cables are which and remembering how I had the mixer routing set up. I finally figured out most of it. I still haven't patched in the cassette/cd player nor the DAT unit, but those are old bits of gear that I really only need for pulling over legacy recordings from the old days.

Now I can actually play audio on my computer and jam to it with the keyboard. I've started playing through tunes old and new. By gar, listening to your play lists on proper studio monitoring headphones does wonders for the comfort of your ears (full cup enclosure) and the fidelity of the listening experience.

I still need to re-do the equalization of the room, since my new computer monitors will have changed the audio signature of the place. I'll worry about that when I'm installing the Personus Firewire Tube interface in a few weeks.

In other news, Claudia needed a photo re-sized to wall sized. I did the deed since I've got Genuine Fractals for large scale re-sizes. The photo works out to be 250 Meg in size, so I ran it out to her place on CD. I ad an opportunity to be re-acquainted with her daughter and gave her an impromptu singing and guitar lesson. Fun.
