We're still trying to get the preamps up so at least I can plug the six string through the board: NOPE!

It's gotta be something simple...but 'tis said:

The mac as well as the C-24 came with the correct Ozzy voltage but they put in USA leads with USA plugs. Okay...we managed to salvage some from other equipment.

The C-24 is factory-set to default to "nothing" unless you set it up just right...like the preamps on it. (What a freakin' pain in the netherregions THIS is!!! I mean...at 59 I'm FINALLY losing my hair and teeth in self-imposed frustration!) We used a Shure 58 to make some noise to see where it ended up. You know...chase the signal around section by section and fixing things as you go. Tiny, tiny, tiny sound. My guitar (Ibanez) had no sound unless I clicked onto the powered EQ output and that's noisy and dirty...opposite from an amp and a guitar known for it's golden throat. The Moog "Little Phatty" key synth...nothing from the output...but a little from the headphone output if you try to sample it from there. Okay...the In/Out module for the C-24 needs to be recalibrated. You usually call this thing a Patch Bay...sort of like an old fashioned phone operator's unit where you call...they answer...and then replug your call somewhere else in their board. This thing is electronically switched...for In going to Out (any number or combo). Again...defaults are needing to be reset. But, Holy Moley...there's 192 of 'em!!!!!!!! The setup came with a CRATE (no...not a box...a freakin' CRATE!) of wiring!

Oh, yeah...forget to mention...the two plasmas screens on the ProMac...has only one side working...they gave us (again) the wrong cable.

Oh, I just found out...that the grid won't power this much amperage if someone switches on something else in the house! No sweat...I'm using a 5000 watt genset out the window...which is awful loud and imposing...so now I'm assembling and then hooking up a 40 metre long extionsion cord BEFORE I get back to looking for my pistol!!!

"Hey, Cat! READ THE MANUAL!!!'

Hey, GNers...ever see that USA Health Care Bill????????????????????????????????????? THAT's tame!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

I'll get back to ya'll! :lol: :( :shock: :cry: :?

The long and short of it is, you guys out there in GN LAND can expect a product description next week some time!

(Heck...I'm told it's worth the wait, so....) :wink:

Now I'm being bombarded by ARGOSY...a company that makes dessks for boards. Geez...$1900 for chipboard covered with naugahide??? I don't think so!

I got the money from the bank...and have a Cashier's Check waiting to hand over...and here comes my first monthly payment back to the bank. Do I have the equipment yet? I don't think so!!!

Well...the suspense is killin' me. Still, I did take home a MOOG Little Phatty and I'm getting used to it over those great headphones...figuring out which sounds will color what's in my mind for my compositions.

Geez, these C-24 posts are turning into a blog, huh? So, I'll shut up about it until I have the stuff in front of me. :?

Still...you loonies can expect an accounting of this "new toy" from opening the box to my first progress...

Until then...my thumbs'll twiddle!

Mr Bank has coughed up and I've got the equipment maybe a week away as far as delivery goes. Thank GOODNESS I didn't need to use a 19.99% APR charge card!

Digidesign C-24
ProMac 8 core
twin 24" plasma screens
Moog key synth
Dynaudio Acoustics (BM6A Mk2) powered monitors
some Beyer headphones (DT-770-PRO)
some AKG K-44's
some Shure 57's & 58's
a zillion cables, pop filters, stands, etc.

The BIGGEST shock (price wise) was the ProTools HD...their full blown/whole enchilada software...for $13K...ouch!!!

I PROMISE to give a few feedback posts starting from setting all this up to my first taste of what comes out of it all!

Gee, Cat...how many more sleeps??? I'm twitchin' over this!!!!!!!!!!!!
