We had a few volume issues and then it went a little crackly.

Another eventful evening, thank you to all the new-comers.

Another great night of good music, sorry no pics of Evolve, my bad.

A few more issues with left channel only recording, but we do at least now know the cause – a dodgy knob! Also first time recording straight to external drive, albeit a USB and not Firewire drive, but it went well nonetheless.

Enjoy the recordings and thanks all for turning up for another fun evening.

Huge apologies on this one, problems again this week with “Disk too slow” errors cropping up seemingly every 10 minutes. The hard drive on my MacBook Pro is a very slow 5400rpm drive and whilst its generally ok, when the drive is filling up and space is scarce it can get a few of these errors. A solution is in hand though and plans are in place to get a Firewire drive to move the recording stress off the Mac’s hard drive. The drive is also needed to go with the new desk.

That said, I think the recording went well and the small breaks hopefully shouldn’t spoil your enjoyment.

A few problems at the start with the USB audio again mysteriously over to the left. This week though it even more mysteriously sorts its self out over time. Maybe a USB audio foible? Who knows?.

Anyway, Enjoy!

As discussed previously we are getting a replacement desk, but it’s a Phonic Helix 18 channel, not merely 12. It should arrive in a couple of weeks and hopefully will alleviate all our problems with the USB desk.

More gremlins during open mic night.

For some reason the USB was only recording the left channel, or atleast the right channel was VERY quiet.

No idea why this is, it was playing through iTunes, into the desk via headphone out then back into the Mac with USB fine. I had ProLevel up and could see both channels perfectly. Start recording and the right channel drops to pretty much silence.

Hopefully this will all be alleviated by the imminent arrival of our new Firewire desk. Meanwhile, any ideas?

Another night with a few technical issues, which unfortunately for some reason we cannot get to the bottom of Cool Banana’s set is only 5 minutes long and then at the end loops a small sample continuously. I’ve left a few seconds of the looping on the end. It’s possibly due to the desk being moved and possibly a dodgy USB cable – not sure.
