ex machina

on a new home studio, protools and a woody

kris saw my post about what i wanted for christmas and ended up getting me an digidesign mbox , which comes complete with the industry standard protools software package. the setup was a bit of a pain, mainly because it took me a long time to discover that the version of protools that shipped with the mbox isn't compatible with panther , but a software update from digidesign fixed the situation.

now, my only problem is that my old seymour duncan "woody" pickup for my martin doesn't sound so hot. everything sounds thin and tinny, which is certainly not the natural, warm tone of the guitar. i think i'll probably have to invest in a good condenser mike soon. i think i used to have one, but who knows where it went. in any case, it'll be fun to roll up my sleeves and do a little recording, as i think it might be close to ten years since i've put anything down.

“"it is hard to be brave," said piglet, sniffing slightly, "when you're only a Very Small Animal." rabbit, who had begun to write very busily, looked up and said: "it is because you are a very small animal that you will be Useful in the adventure before us."”

[ about ]

this site chronicles the continuing adventures of my son, odin, who was unexpectedly born on the fourth of july at 25 weeks gestation, weighing 1 pound 7 ounces.

he's quite a fighter and you can always send him a postcard to the most current address listed here if you're inspired by his adventures. see the postcard project/google maps mashup to see a map of the postcards.

if you're new, you can browse the archives to catch up. and don't forget to watch a few movies that i made while we were in the neonatal intensive care unit. or if you want the abridged version and you can find a copy, you can read about his adventures in the november 2005 issue of parents magazine.
