Button, Button, Who's Got the Button

[billroper]

Recording is ever so much more exciting when Katie and Julie have pressed every button on the mic pre in the recording booth, which is the one that I use when I'm working all by myself. Especially when one of the buttons is the "Mute" button for each channel.

Why am I not getting any levels? Why am I not getting any sound? What have I changed?

Oh, wait. I haven't changed anything.

*sigh*

And then I managed to fat finger the Cubase remote so that I didn't notice that it wasn't actually recording until I went into the engineering booth and saw that there were no tracks.

Well, it's good to have something go wrong that is:

a) Clearly my fault
b) Easy to fix. :)

That's why my websites are still done in c. 1997 HTML.

Little girls and recording booth controls just do not mix well at all - at least, until they get old enough (and interested enough) to learn how to do the recording themselves. Then you'll probably see something very interesting... :-)

Was just thinking the same thing myself. I was about Katie's age when my dad taught me how to run his audio equipment system. It was...elaborate. Pre-amp/separate power amp, tuner etc. But I wanted more power to play my records than my little record player kicked out. I suspect my mom didn't appreciate hearing the same thing over and over again LOUDLY.

Gee I have done these things as well and you would think I am old enough to know better :-( one more sleep till we are in our new house. I purchased a Yamaha surround sound receiver and speaker system along with a Panasonic Blue Ray DVD player and can't wait to install it in the rec/party room in the basement.
