Cool.  I hope you have lots of good tunage coming out of that sucker.

I busted the high E paired to the low E the first time I changed strings on my 12 string.  E strings are ornery.  Don't pay it any mind.

Excellent.  Thanks Jerome.

If we were closer, you wouldn't need the gun.

I admit to ignorance on dimensia, but what I do know is that Chordians are the kindest, most accepting people I've come across. I am more at home and at ease with a bunch of crazy Chordians than I am at my church.  That speaks either very well of Chordie or poorly of my congregation. I prefer to think the former.

The only folks that come close are river folk, but that's mostly because river folk just don't care.

Thanks for the complement on my singing.  It had a very, very long way to go, but I am pleased with the progress.  When I listen to my old recordings, I don't finish.  I was just unlistenable.  At least now I don't cause geese, cats, and ferrets to run and hide when I play. 

As for the Normal switch.  It's in the software.  It's a push as to whether a virtual button or a physical knob is more dangerous to one's psyche.  One evening I'll work up the courage.

It's a little like musicating, except you take other people's musicatiousness and put an arrangement on it that uses chords and transitions you know so you don't have to go through all the bother of learning something new and useful.

Cables checked.  No speakers or monitors attached - just headphones to the headphone jack so I can hear the mix or whether my mic is way too hot (which it was when I couldn't hear), and the USB input to the computer.  The computer is supposed to be able to feedback to the unit so that I can hear playback through the phones, but it's not happening. 

I'll push some more buttons, but with sound coming out of the computer speakers (I have a decent H/K subwoofer system on the computer), that's good enough for my purposes. 

All I'm trying to do is record what I normally do so that I can hear it play back.  That gives me the ability to self-criticize and try to improve my performing. 

I've already learned that I probably need to bump Blue Train up a whole tone, and some of the stop and start stuff I was doing with the guitar makes it sound like the songs are ending in the middle.  So I'll have to work out a little different arrangement that gets quieter but doesn't stop.  Easy way to learn.

Don't laugh.  Punching a bunch of buttons worked half way. 

I still can't get playback through the headphones, but I was able to get playback through the computer speakers and that was good enough. 

The new headphones are wonderful.  They are AKG K44 headphones from Guitar Center, which were on sale for $29.99 over the Labor Day Weekend.

They are using different channels, but the USB output is a single mixed output from the device. 

I did the most sensible thing.  I bought new headphones.  Hey.  They were on sale.  Don't judge. 

I'll get another new 9V.  I don't know how long the one I put in has been in the Guitar Tools drawer.  Then I'll push a bunch of buttons.

You better eat fast. Topdown can play Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald in a minute thirty-eight.

Oh?  What you have you got for lunch? 

It's only sausage roll, but I like it! Like it!  Yes, I do!
