Sigh

Not a great start, Pat locks herself out of the house, has mislaid my spare car key and has no recollection where the spare back door key went either. Sadly I may have to start being the grown up here soon. Will do my best to enjoy this break, just wish it were somewhere more interesting... suspect I'll be knee-deep in cauliflower heads.

Ah well, got review in. I'd have liked a little more mulling but there you go. A cool device has come in that I've been waiting for too, will have to wait. Hey ho, only two weeks, might not be as dull as I expect...

Got review almost done today, should get it completed tomorrow. Nice afternoon with Bammy yesterday, must get that Logic multi-channel recording working again though.
This evening I think I'll get the review finished maybe with time to spare. Stuff sorted for hols, shouldn't need to take laptop after all. What a hero I am!

OK, good day. I now have a draft review, one of my fastest ever. Relatively easy though cos I knew the synth already. Might get the vast bulk done Sunday/Monday night and not need to take on hols. I already said what I want to, just need to refine it.

Have drunk a lot of cheap champagne.

OK, one review done another to start. Not sure how far I'll get before going off on hols but theoretically nothing to hold me back - I understand it already and have just to write my notes about it. Surprised my demo file for Paul has been listened to many times, T must have passed on the link. Not really ideal, don't like to publicly imply conclusions before review out! Hopefully it doesn't but a bit annoying, may pull it from Soundcloud.

Also samples review to look at. Another short one, should I maybe polish that off first?

Began writing a beginner's guide to modulars, mostly to help Paul out but it strikes me it could be publishable in some form. Keeping it simple and practical rather than too wibbly, although bound to stray into that.
This evening I'll complete the review I hope.

Yep, think it's OK. Didn't do much else but that's fine.

Darn, looks like I may have missed some aurora last night...

More work

Yep, Saturday evening and I worked on a review. Didn't even drink cos I gave Dawn a lift into town and am gonna get her later. Am almost done though I think, should complete it tomorrow.

Broke something on Octatrack today, tweaked a pattern but stupidly it was the wrong pattern. So a song got its samples fecked - dunno what I had previously. As it was the last one I'd worked on it wasn't included in the last card sync so basically it's gone. That thing is still way too easy to break stuff on.
