Oh well, I got three of the things done from yesterday's list. Noticed on Sam's web-site something about the recent music we recorded. So
here's my position (?!) on this: I think some of the tracks recorded on that night need some sympathetic attention. This will get done. However, I have
destroyed my old mixer (with the help of Tania - she cut the wires) and am currently on the prowl for a new one - something
that can mix down 4 (or more) tracks to 2 (left and right). Second-hand, first-hand, whatever. So . . . whilst mixes
already exist (the more the merrier), I think the way forward is definitely to have alternate mixes, many mixes. The
Jonath mix. Yep. So . . . as soon as I get the new mixer. The mixer had to be destroyed as it simply was not
practical to clean all those sliders and faders (whatever . . . variable resistors, basically). Things needed unsoldering
from the main circuit board but then everything was sealed, so I would have had to bend back bits of metal in order to
get inside these things. I think, in the end, it would have gone the way of the Korg . . . and we know how that story
ends. Yes. Breakfast time.
