MJEB doing his best to cash in on the whole Hamilton Thing but Sans Budget, here's the Lyrics Of Writes, spoke and slammed by Jo & Dan the Man from KC.
Stormcellar has retained its KC privileges after a sit down at a BBQ restaurant with some friends of ours, forget about it.
Danny is still the social activist and agitator he's always been and he delivered it real time this year at Knucks.
And remember, VOTE!
Ok So that happened.
Don't ask how, but for the first time in some time, things happened...
..easily
Ok I am now totally freaked out.
As I am not gonna tempt fate, let's just say that the Tech Gods have smiled upon us and thanks to all the work we have done getting the streaming together, a critical mass of Computer and Sound stuff has been achieved, sufficient for us to start tracking.
Woot.
I had thought this was another 3 months off. Well, make hay while the sun shines right? And you know what that means?
I don't even get to blog about the tech setup cos it's sort of done. Ish. Hmm. Basically all we need to do is drop a DAC (digital capture box) into the streaming chain and whammo.
We'll have a few weeks of trial and error and then we'll see what happens. Niiiice.
For 13 years MJEB has been documenting our gigs, travels, and best of all, these spontaneous moments with our friends. Here's some of KC Kelsey.
This now marks 2 weeks where the tech has mostly gone right. That's a milestone.
It's taken AAAAAAGES>
Establishing a setup procedure includes:
1. Sound setup for the mixer and local sound
2. Mapping that to the laptop input.
3. Making sure the laptop has booted with the mxier attached so it recognises the device
4. Resetting the web cams to the same USB port or the Visions Switch S/W forgets they exist.
5. Checking input from Discord, testing levels again inboard mixer for output
6. Checking output to Discord and to secondary stream
7. Remembering which harmonica to use
8. What are the words
9. How does the song go.
You can see why this has taken some time to get right. Each part it simple in itself.
Put them together and Complexity Intensifies.
2 weeks in a row where almost all systems are green?
Satisfying.
Also the music was good. See ya next week. Remember these shows auto delete!
Different day for Downtime this week. Wednesday 12th August 7:30 central US time.
BTW Aussies that means Thursday 10:30 AM.
I am having to explain the curvature of the earth more than I expected to!
