Geez... it's only a house. You'd think I'd have already sold it on here. Bump!

Wow! I was trying for Worst.Studio.Name.Ever! Maybe it just went over the edge of suckiness and back onto the other side.

I'm usually way into the Neko and Carl sung songs and not so much the Destroyer Dan ones. I think the first five songs on the Electric Version are a 1-2-3-4-5 punch of greatness and then I get bored until Neko sings again.

I don't know... it's a pretty great name. I might have to get tough on negotiations for that. I could call the new place "Extra Happy Fun Time Recording With Unicorns, Rainbows, and Ponies" or something.

Thanks all. The Windermere listing is now up at: http://windermere.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=listing.PP3ListingDetail&ListingID=17484143 Pictures should be up there in a couple days. The neighbors are very cool about noise and there isn't that much that gets out when I'm only using the basement. If I...

I have my computer in the next room and I just have two 6' extension cables daisy chained for both the mouse and keyboard. For the monitor I run a 15' extension cable. My Aardvark Q10 and 24/96 interfaces will both work with a longer cable and I'm running a 15' for both of them with no problems. I a...

I think this is a great idea. Dangerous... but great nonetheless. I have a few gems that I can't wait to share.

Did anyone message you about this? Are you still looking? I'm not in Portland yet but I'll be moving from Salem in the spring. I'm either going to be building a space in a basement or garage or renting somewhere. I was thinking about teaming up with some others if I had to rent somewhere.

I too say "go for it." I love mine and I just use the direct outs and never the mains so I wouldn't miss it if that fader didn't work.

I heard that the band is "Nine Days" and that Mixerman is Eric Sarafin. This doesn't completely add up to me though because Nine Days had a sort-of-hit song with that one song "Absolutely (Story of a Girl)" and that was supposedly BEFORE they worked on the album in question with Sarafin. Bitch Slap ...

I love Ween and I just saw a short documentary called Wah-Wah that I found on the torrents. Anyway... they showed that most of the early album weird vocals was just using the pitch knob on their old four-track.

Put it in the closet! ;) From my own experience of trying different PSUs, CPU fans, and heatsinks I can't ever seem to get it quiet enough. I can't believe how quiet they can build some of those stock Dells. I think they must be undercooling them but they seem to work fine anyway most of the time. I...
