i am officially post-human, metal plated and in one piece again. hopefully tomorrow i get the immobilizing sling off and can type again. this is hard!
over the weekend i started reading through the wizoo guide for the nord micro modular and achieved my first goal with the thing ... do a little jam track using just the three knobs on the front of the little red box. you can hear sharingSherifs_by_k9d.mp3 and download the pch if you have a micro. if i do another one of these i think i'll try and sqeeze them in 1.4meg for floppyswop.
another thing this weekend was being on hydrocodone for days straight. the pain has subsided to a dull throbbing so i quit taking the stuff during the day and will just eat it to sleep. i had days off of work to deal with the surgery but i'm looking forward to getting back at it.
the netlabels are doing well, nitro2k01 helped get the shoutbox working on mp3death so i'm ready to put out an ep by x\k which is going to rule everyone hard, might redesign the site a bit after that. hexawe got updated with two new tracks over the weekend, a pop thing by jonbro and some clean idm from salkin.
i've been wondering how cool netlabels are. i love them but it seems like a blog format makes tracks more accessible to people outside of the netaudio scene. i have a tab on my netvibes account watching all of the netaudio portals as well as the mp3 blogs i dig, mostly electro shit these days but seth just linked to one that looks good for metal. if i was going to wordpress-ify hexawe or mp3death it won't be for a while--got to redo the northern dragons site first! and i think adding radio to hexawe is the next step in making that material more accessible.
it's too bad there's no flash mp3 player that does automatic gain control! since there are lots of different bosses updating hexawe, the tracks aren't all mastered at the same volume which makes listening to the entire catalog a bit of a volume-dial workout. on my work machine i have foobar2k set up with the awesome soundsolution dsp plugin with a tight preset by lonnylord. the software was was writen for radio broadcasting and saves me from touching the volume or even worrying about replay-gaining my listening selections. maybe i can write a simple itunes-like volume adjustment system into whatever flash interface i use for the hexawe radio.
it's getting close to the fall, my favorite season back in mpls, we'll see how it treats me in sf. romance is never easy and always intriguing ...
