Urge to smash

Image

I recently acquired a new computer and have begun the “Migration” from old to new. I know it’s not a quick process (600+ Gb from machine to machine) but by my math this estimation, using FW800, was WAY OUT. The problem turns out that the computer was going to sleep during this migration!! Why the HELL would it do such a stupid thing? There were no options for sleeping as it’s a fresh install. Shame on Apple.

After three failed attempts, I had to find a solution to me sitting at two idle computers for 8 hours.

AND HERE IT IS!
(standby for video)

I needed to be able to leave it also… so in an audio Macgyver moment of desperation I turn to my biggest fan. The cable for the Trackball is moved by an oscillating fan. The headphones are on top of an upside down trackball, this and the duct tape give the trackball some weight to push on the keyboard (for computer 1) the movement also pushes a button on a Magic Trackpad (computer 1)

so far attempt number four is going smoothly (knock on wood)

I like this sign, but the best way to prevent an accident, like this one is exaggerating, is customer service.

Les Fabian and I designed this case for a store front and his brother Don built it for us, I wonder what happened to it when Larry and Moe bought it…

Two Notes Torpedo Live – now in a new home!

Finally got it in a rack! Two Notes Torpedo amplifier load box with cabinate / microphone simulation

Jack added a speaker input on the producers desk for easy connection

I said when I first heard about it that “This piece is basically an Iso Booth in one rack space.” and in a small to mid sized studio without a booth or collection of amps it’s a huge asset!

downside: I wanted to put the line in and line out on the Patchbay in addition to the speaker in and through-put on the panel (everything hooked up all the time). When you have a jack in the “line in” it overrides the speaker “load box”
