hi everyone,

in light of this saturday's audio production workshop, we wanted to share with everyone the current state of the radio, which is basically ready to use!

you can listen to mostly silence at the moment at radio.sudoroom.org (HIT THE GREEN BUTTON).

i'd be happy to show anyone who's interested how to use the dj software in there, just ask me anytime. i'll also be available before or after this saturday's workshop if people want to learn then.

hi everyone,

naomi, mark, and i worked on a couple items this evening.

the current set up is as follows:

1. there is now a physical mixer that allows you to switch between two channels (so you can switch between 2 different songs, just like turntables :P).

2. there are 4 lines in in total. (this means we can potentially switch between 4 different sources, like a turntable with 4 RECORDS.)

3. 2 of the lines are currently connected

4. one of the lines goes to the computer set up in there (which means you can play music from the computer)

5. the other line goes to an unhooked mini jack that one can use to play from one's portable music device of choice!

6. the mixer runs to naomi's rpi which is streaming to her stream, currently accessible at radio.sudoroom.org.

7. the computer still works as it used to - the mic is connected to the computer and you can use mixxx to queue songs and speak on the mic. (the physical mixer also has a separate mic input, so there's that!) audacity is also on that computer, allowing one to record audio.

addenda

1. the beast (aka "tiny") is no longer connected :( which means no more tapes :( BUT we can easily reconnect him as there are still 2 empty inputs on the mixer. the only reason we disconnected him was because it was returning crappy sound.

2. every time we listen to tapes in there, i get this song stuck in my head for the rest of the day: http://hypem.com/track/1e7xa/Blouse+-+Videotapes

3. here's what the room looks like!

so pretty! wow! :D

It must be noted, Rusty slid in at about 10:15 -- technically AFTER the meeting ended! -- and tried to get the cassette deck going again.

Alas (TL;DR) to no avail.

The Tape output of Tiny the Behemoth Mixer comes in all distorted on the little radio mixer (something about impedance). We must have spent 20 minutes on every-which-way combinations, and all we got was something that sounded like a live radio feed from an 80s dance party...

...which of course Rusty was totally into, so I think it's still hooked up.

But please, don't use this... much....

also, I "installed" that laptop I brought so that people can play with liquidsoap.

It's at 192.168.1.246

Anybody can have an account, just ask.
