[Old Vantaa Man]

It's only mid May, but I vote the above post by Mr Juho L. as POST OF THE YEAR and would like to request that admin make it a sticky.

Edit: By the way Alex, get a better chair. If you buy a new chair, I hope you don't pick one that is as high as your skill in music because it's pretty crappy view on the underside of your DAW desk. Eats out some of the inspiration, you know.

Juho, you are a filthy-mouthed Internet prostitute that is full of poo! God bless you.

My real nice chair is being used by Mrs. Hall, who is working her arse off on a new IT project. But, just to make you insolent fuckers happy I put my real nice mixing chair behind my DAW desk and took a picture:



The underside of my desk is a picture to honestly admit that I did not consider the weight of the rig above, and had to correct it on the fly. Hopefully, if others consider such a project, they will do this first to spare themselves the grief at the back-end of the project. And hopefully they will use Bombay Mahogany stained boards with 24K gold plated screws to beautify the support struts so they will be spared the venom of your tart little mouth, which would benefit from a good washing with a bar of soap.

By the way, your attempt at linking use of my dining room chair, my skill in music, and the underside of my DAW desk in some way shape or form to insult me was insufficient. You may now kiss my ass.

The next picture won't be so nice, most likely will be my first turd after tomorrow's shoulder operation. It will probably be nasty from the anesthesia and other post-op narcotics.

Doc, I love the Mackie HR824's to no end. I bought them used on eBAY for $700 for the pair, the new mkIIs go for $1,200+ per pair, whcih is way out of my league. I had Behringer "Truth" 2031As for 3 years before these and would get real pissed when the port holes would blow air at me when my Virus got real bassy. The Mackies are great. Most of my DAW is Mackie now: HR824's, Mackie Control Universal, Mackie Tracktion 2, and Mackie Onyx Satellite (which I only use with my laptop now) and it's made things really easy. The MCU is plug'N'play with Tracktion 2, and it's real nice to have tactile control of the tracks in the sequencer. I'm too damn lazy to manually configure a control surface. Actually, it's my extreme case of ADHD.

Et tu, OVM?

Cheers all! I might post back before the surgery tomorrow, maybe not. Have a good one!

I liked the piccy you emailed me earlier:



Good luck with the surgery on your shoulder, btw matey.

[AlexHall74]

WTF? Your Photoshop skills and sense of humor have lost me once again. Thanks for the well wishes though! I just planted a small palm tree in my back yard as I won't be able to for a few months. Tonight, all my work is done, it's time for a few Mojitos!

Hey OVM, check the left table on the original picture. The green box there seems to be a kleenex box! No need for photoshopping. We are dealing with a serious wanker here!

Alex, you will perish under this insult assault.

<hides head in shame at such myopia..>

[AlexHall74]

Juho and OVM, what filthy minds you have. Of course there is a box of tissues in the den, it's also the guest room, and North Florida happens to be the allergy (pollen, as in trees) of the world. I suppose the rubber fists and mechanical hamsters laying around your PCs are not an issue then?



Peace out, bitches!

-Alex

[Old Vantaa Man]

Damn. The North Florida pollen. Stupid of me really. Apologies.

How's the shoulder, btw? Didn't you have a shoulder op just a couple of years ago?

Well, you said you was coming to Finland anytime, so we thought to get prepared to make you feel as much home as possible. We even put beer labels on water bottles!

Damn, you're on-form. Suck on that USA!
