Done yesterday (20101009 Sa)
1009 Sa * awake 8ish; snuggle * up 8:30; W=195.4; drugs, nose, teeth; laundry, dishes, coffee, dishes @ Buy Green: Yoga Mat : Planet Green - eco-friendly yoga mats @ awioppffsof: We have a concert stream! =:o} Cool! = lullabye: sync voice with downbeat, guitar one beat after. Oh. *thumb* on the downbeat. OK, that makes sense. @ Edirol UA-25 - ALSA wiki - looks somewhat complicated Midiman Quattro .asoundrc - ALSA wiki M-Audio Quattro - LQWiki * walk: 4mi by Los Gatos Creek * shopping with the Cat: Persian fruit leather, colander, coffee * buy: coffee * buy: colander * but: fruit leather from Persian store (by Zorba's) * sushi with the YD; long drive afterward. * dishes * load drugs for the week * YD's external drive: Jared says enclosure broken(?) -> IO errors. Not cleanly unmounted. May be fixable on Windows. * Lullabye. Got off-beat about halfway through; need the click track to be louder. But definitely getting there. May be a little too slow.
A pretty relaxing day. I finally figured out what was going wrong with my scratch track yesterday -- silly bear was mistaken about where the downbeat comes in the picking pattern. I was able to get about halfway through Filksong Lullabye before I got off by a beat; I need to make the click track a little louder, I think.
It looks as though getting USB audio interfaces to work with ALSA is non-trivial. That kinda sucks. I have been trying to figure out how to put together a portable, mini-ITX-based recording box, though just how portable I can make a 4-U rack is something of an open question.
A four-mile walk by Los Gatos Creek, shopping with Colleen, sushi with Colleen and the YD, and a nice drive afterward. Yeah, good day.
A few links up there under the cut.
