(dc n 174 p 6) maths and music

in college i had to prove that 1 is positive. all i can remember about it now is that it was very hard to do. at the time i wasn't all that interested in it, either, but now it seems like it would be a good party trick.

tomorrow i start mixing and mastering with protools and critical listening as part of berklee's online masters certificate program in music production and technology. i'm giddy.

i got a free 20G ipod when i registered, and i gave it to justin. he promptly installed linux on it so he could use it to record. that's sort of cool, except you can't control the input gain, nor can you play it back without downloading to the computer. so i'm not quite sure if it's worth it. he also ordered a nifty device that will let him plug it into his car's cd changer so he can control the ipod with his steering wheel. gadget king. he is earning his electric prince title.


kat and shirin both got much better photos of devotions at tiny planet today. i think it's time for a new camera.

It turns out you can play the recording back when booted to Linux, but you can only record in mono. And no variable input gain. Makes it kinda useless as a recorder.

If I were truly the electric prince I wouldn't have blown up my mixing board yesterday. Sigh.

sorry...the electric prince has told me that the power wasn't hooked up backwards. there were 5 pins and apparently got off on the pins. when i took my SAT i got off on the dots, so my scores were rotten. i guess it's sort of the same thing.
