I know you don't read the Don Rogers thread, so I'm just asking one last time here: Would you like to be on the show tomorrow (Tuesday) from 7-8 Pacific? It will include apologies and also a normal interview where you can talk about whatever you want, discuss your show, etc.

Either way, I thank you for your time.

I appreciate the offer, but I'm going to pass. Your listeners don't want to hear me on your show, and they don't want to hear you being nice to me on your show. And they certainly don't want to hear Don Rogers apologizing to people.

Understood. Thank you for your consideration.

I meant to ask you, are you interested in buying any audio equipment? I am getting ready to sell off some of my gear ... just no need for it anymore.

I have a Mackie 24x4 mixing board (24 channel, 4 bus). Retail was (when I bought it) $1,100 but I don't know what it goes for now. There are some on eBay for between $400 and $800. Mine has approximately 5 hours of use. It's the one with the "air" feature.

I also have a Mark of the Unicorn (MOTU) 24i unit. It has 24 1/4" jacks in and does firewire out to a computer (PC or Mac). Once installed, Windows sees it as 24 separate sound cards. I bought 24 1/4" cables (3 8-bundles) so I could record 24 tracks at a time. I don't think I ever did more than 8 at a time (and that was for drums) but it'll do whatever your hard drive can keep up with.

I have a DD-5 5 mic set for recording drums and several Shure mics for recording audio.

I put all of this on Craigslist once and the only decent offer I got was for $2k worth of weed, which I declined.

Hey now! Audio gear!

For about a year I "interned" (volunteered) at a local music studio that was owned by a friend of a friend. He owned the same mixing board (a Mackie 24 channel) in his studio, so when I decided I was going to run my own in home studio, I bought what I was most familiar with. My friend's studio also had 24 tracks, but he was recording to ADAT machines. He had four of them and each one recorded 8 tracks so in theory he could have 32 tracks of music, except for the fact that one of them was broken at all times and in the shop, so he was constantly swapping them around, boxing them up, and shipping them back for repair. As a computer guy I wanted to go digital for my stuff, so that's why I bought the MOTU 24i.

While I love recording music, what I found is that I don't love working with musicians, or at least not the ones I got to work with. I have a long, wonderful tale about the experience. Remind me to tell it to you when me, you and Robb are driving to Tulsa a few weekends from now.

FLAC! That MOTU would be fantastic for the audio production course I'm teaching when I convince someone with mor money than me to give me their credit card. If you still have it a month or so from now, we should talk.
