The TASCAM software is hideous. Good lord.

Me: Oswin, could you hand me the scissors so I can cut this cable tie?
Oswin:
Me: Paw me the scissors?
Oswin: You have the wrong idea about who runs menial errands for whom around here, human.

Current status: running cables around, with my able assistant Oswin. Current conclusion: unbalanced patchbay is not it. Internal mixing/sends via audio interface is it.
Also, reducing the gear load allows me to reduce the cabling load and the cognitive load and the guilt load. If i have three things to think about, I have a chance of understanding them and using them well.
I still want all the gear, mind you. That doesn't stop just because I understand it's stupid.

Much clearing, boxing, and cabling progress. Now I game and drink water. Living the wild life, here.

Current status: turned up where the cables were. Might have enough. Turned up a lot of dust. Coughing. Put some gear into their boxes for later cleaning, repackaging, and finding new homes for.
Also found a cat ball behind all the music stuff. Tossed it into the hallway. It IMMEDIATELY came rocketing back into my office, followed by two cats.

WHY do I never have enough of the right cables despite having FIVE MILLION CABLES in this house?

Now I’m gonna make some midi connections between things.
There is no such thing as a usb C hub like those giant "plug in 10 devices here" powered hubs, is there. Hrm. I might have to resort to old-fashioned DIN-5 cables chained to do this.
Also... also... I still need to put things away. I'm just getting annoyed by all the setup. Time to shortcut it.

Today's rating: swinging between feeling great and feeling the angriest I've been in a professional context in a long time, my values were violated so badly. At least I got to express that clearly and succinctly and have it repaired, but damn.

Oswin has learned the word "treat”. When she hears it, she beelines to the spot where the cat treats are kept. She has known the word “food" for some time, and goes immediately to the feeding spot when she hears that.
Pushing buttons is beneath her, or something, but she knows what they mean all right.

I need to put away and/or sell some things. I need to figure out how to price and sell things with confidence.
This will, I think, solve my space & cabling problem. Fewer things. Good.

I've started doing some Western music theory refreshers because the last time I did that seriously was in the context of learning to think in terms of the guitar fretboard, which is quite different from thinking in piano and traditional music notation.
Neo-Riemannian theory is totally new to me, for example. It’s, like, not number theory. Different dude.
Not gonna go deep, but gonna skim enough to get it.
IMO there’s no point in getting my music-notation-reading back up to speed when I intend not to use anything other than sequencers.

Q: Is there a cat in the sink?
A: Yes. … oops, make that no.

I lie, of course. I bought the Behringer Edge. A DFAM for half the price? Sure! Allegedly the quality of their recent synth designs is good, so I guess I'll find out.

More home music studio resurrection natter, helpfully hashtagged for ez obliteration if you so choose.
If I did not already have an audio interface, the MOTU 828 would be ideal for my use case, with fewer mic preamps that I'll never use, and USB C. I am avoiding gear acquisition at this time. AVOIDING.
