Ahhh, no, I’ve seen those
I meant when, sorry I’ll rephrase that, if, you get a new one. 
What new one
You’ll have to wait but as my missus has not been out due to her health and its Valentine’s and I made the mistake of dropping something in the Thomann’s Wish List to mull over, there be another big box here abouts !
I’m looking forward to this:
@DavidP doing a bit of stand-up
@adi_mrok going in over his head
and @TheMadman_tobyjenner tackling the tech of quad-cams 
Remember why we’re here- not to impress, but to have a go at performing whatever we like with a bunch of mates.
Mach Schau! as they said in Hamburg 
I am in midst of replumbing and will be happy to have my one webcam behaving and no spurious crackles.
That will be the only impressive thing I’ll be aiming for as I now seem to be in USB meltdown. 
Standing up (again) to play, I’ll leave the stand-up to you, Brian ![]()
you’ve seen this pattern often enough
‘mistake’
just setting the inevitable wheels in motion … it’s a gas gas gas ![]()
The Clock is ticking faster !
Love the timer, Toby.
Rehearsal going faster. There’ve been a couple of days when I’ve wished that the rehearsal was the show, other times when it’s a relief to move on and come back another day. Pretty much par for the course.
Glad some one is paying attention, its all very quiet here with less than a week to go. Glad to hear your dry runs are going ok, wish I could say the same ! 
Sorted my bleeding out - I set up a pre-master track in Reaper (as we discussed elsewhere) but had left the original track to master connections in place, doh! So was getting a double feed !! All sorted and no clipping but I am back to where I was with Zoom at OM5 and picking up a DI type signal (and just one mic this time!!). Video and sound record fully mastered in OBS but not in Zoom. So some more things to look at but worse comes to it I’ll just declare the AI in Zoom and keep it simple. Fun and games.

Well, clock-watching is all well and good, but it won’t help with preparations ![]()
We have the largest group signed up to date- all ‘hype’ can do is increase expectations…
Are we sure we want to go there? ![]()
I’m planning on something a little ‘different’, but not as different as this:
I’ll take care of the performance setup on Sat morning. Just my simple guitar and mic into Play Acoustic, into 2i2, into OBS, into Zoom. With the Play Acoustic I have no need to add Reaper into the chain.
Now one day if I decide to play my electric, through the looper into Reaper but the Birdbox Orchestra looks more likely.
You’ve dropped a bunch of hints Brian … no more hype is needed. Other than having to follow our resident gigging band leader, I’ll be glad to get my simple strum a dum dum done early on.
Oooo Brain,
This is not good to let us watch…Bad brain…i`m gone

My setup will be as simple as I can make it…all instruments into my mixer, mixer into laptop via USB (just select that as the audio input), webcam as video source…I did a quick trial run at the weekend…might do another. I think I know what songs I’m doing 
Usual setup for me as well, going with acoustic set this time so hopefully no issues with playing around with levels in between
on practice side I don’t think it’s all gonna be oven baked ready, might be some rough meat in some spots!
How could I resist? I & I survive just like Gloria Gaynor ![]()
Steak tartare! ![]()
I hate to do this but I won’t be able to attend, at least from the beginning. A last minute planned trip came up, nothing bad 
How long will the event go for? I think I’d be able to tune up about 2 hours into it.
If not possible, I’ll have to wait for the next one.
If you don’t watch out you could catch Trichinosis ![]()

That’s a shame but it will be recorded for playback later anyway. Run time is likely to be sub 2 hours but the link will let you in anytime if you get back in time to join the audience.
Cheers
Toby

Love the song,
and for the next time when I type…Brain…I mean…Brian…sometimes the dyslexia wakes up in me…but this is a nice slip of the tongue (typing error) ,Bad brain to you instead of …Bad Brian…can’t just be a coincidence, some people are probably thinking 
Good to see you on form Brian, that was downright bizarre but I like your wig ![]()
Well I would have said yes, bring it on but having just this minute got a stable recording platform (no I am not covering Away In A Manager), I’ll settle for a couple of days of fine tuning. But who knows I just might stir the pot come Thursday as it really is awfully quiet here for an OM run in !
