ten years ago i was in college. community college. a lot happens in ten years. it seems like only yesterday, yet so distant. it's almost as if it wasn't really me, and the memories aren't from my life, but rather just something i intently watched on tv. what the hell happened? none of it really matters now, i guess - only to me. nothing important, only as a frame of reference. trying to make sense of the past, never really knowing where i am presently, with an unknown future...the more it seems that time really doesn't matter, only to support the existence of the egoic mind. skin deep. who fucking cares anyway. look at the tragedy. me me me. i should be in a coffee bar wearing black reciting bad poetry and being angstful. bite me.

ooo aaa

ditto on the love of tascams. my first four track was a porta seven that lasted me for years and i fucking loved it. I know all about the 288 because the 688 has the same exact transport in it, its just has a 20 channel mixer built in to make it self contained. I do believe it has a serial port too that you can link up a 688 w/ the 288 so that is pretty cool. I bought it off ebay a few months ago, but have been hacving some problems with it. the biggest is that something in the erase head in track 7 and 8 is screwed up and it doesnt totally record over what you were trying to erase... if that makes any sense! smile But i figured out that if i just bounce two tracks ie vocal and guitar to track 7 and 8 its no big deal becasue i wouldnt need to record over them again. As for the other equipment i have, its all pretty beginner level stuff, i was more interested in getting a well rounded set of gear, then one high quality piece. in my rack i have and art tps pre amp, a joe meek preamp, a midiverb, berhinger compressor, a boss compressor, a 48 point patch bay, a cd recorder and a tape deck and a furman power strip. I also have a couple of oktavas, and mxl condensors from guitar center. they're cheap, but they really sound great. I used to work in the recording stuido at Towson U. and i worked with a shitload of great mics, and for the price you cant beat those specials. Sorry this is so long! we'll talk more later
