Are you implying that my podcast appearence was not “tight”?

This show was a lot tighter than the next two shows are — I like it. The sound is great too.

[4:58] Yeah, Carl’s a punk, and not in a good way.

[10:40] Carl, c’mon, do some research man. All you have to do is clickity-click http://blackboxvoting.org and you could have given us concrete facts about the prior Diebold scandals. Oh yeah, and, Diebold makes insecure voting machines.

Behringer is crap. The most unreliable shit ever. And sounds like piss too. Their business practices give new meaning to the term “shady.” Colin and Carl were right to buy the Alesis.

I bet if you had waited another month, Behringer would’ve released their knockoff that would’ve been half the price

Ya, it is an amazing deal considering what it does. And, was so simple to get working with garageband.

Ah I hate you guys. That thing came out *right* after I bought my Firebox that I use for my One Winged Angel stuff, since I needed phantom power for my condenser mics. The Alesis USB boards were out, but wouldn't do the job for me since they could only send the stereo mix, not the individual tracks. And I definitely couldn't afford any of the Mackie boards. So I bought the Firebox, then months later the MultiMix firewire boards come out. Damn technology.

Alesis MultiMix 8 FireWire.

We bought it for a few reasons, not least of which was we could finally afford it.

Beyond that, though, it allows discrete track output over firewire to Colin’s Mac, so we can record (and subsequently tweak, if necessary) our voices separately. Also, we had kind of outgrown our old Behringer, and needed more mic inputs.

Surprising that Qworst isn’t jacking up pricing. VZ is full of baloney, they lose money on every single ADSL line they sell, regardless if it’s a VZ line-shared or a stand-alone circuit. To keep on charging customers more under the guise of “it’s to support a service you don’t have but we lose money on even though we offered it willingly” is a joke.

The music production geek in me wants to know, what’s the new mixer???
