Just pictures of mixers

The image shows a digital audio mixing console interface with multiple channels in a grid layout. At the top of the interface, there are several AUX send sections with dials and labels indicating different levels. Below the AUX section, there are plugin slots with labels naming various audio effects such as "KONSOL," "CLA-2A," and "Gullfoss." Each channel features multiple dials representing EQ settings, displayed in a vertical arrangement. These dials adjust parameters such as 10.0k, 4.0k, 1.0k, M.Hi, M.Lo, and Low.  Below the EQ section, there are pan dials and buttons labeled "S," "Rd," and "M," which stand for solo, read, and mute functions respectively. At the bottom, faders are shown with numerical levels indicated to the side, designed for adjusting audio volume. Labels at the bottom of each channel identify the audio source, with names like "Shari Six," "Meredith C," "Man," "Piano," "High Synth," and "Master." The interface has a predominantly dark color scheme with blue and grey accents.

Some big dum-dum (me) decided to remix the Red Flag of the Future opera before our big screening at the 14th Street Y this coming Tuesday.

Chat CPT Opera.

I asked Chat GPT to write a comic opera about robots--"write a comic opera about 12 angry robots passing judgement on all of humanity. At the end they find humanity guilty and subject to immediate elimination."



Chat GPT doesn't really know how jokes work. But when deliberately dadaist, it can be funny. This amused me.

Red Flag Screening in our nation's capital

 

Andrew Bellware, Laura Schlachtmeyer, and Gaylia Wagner in front of the marquee of the Miracle Theater in Washington DC.
We had a screening of Red Flag of the Future in DC. The screen and sound there is quite good. I want to re-mix the entire movie now, of course. 

The inside of the Miracle Theater.

Gaylia adjusts her puppet display in the lobby.

Next up: a pair of screenings in New York City.

Such which

Watchout is theater show management software. 

I'm working on my Dante certifications. At present am getting brain around subnets. The first and last addresses of the subnets are in use and cannot be used by devices on the subnet. I think that means there are 254 possible devices on a subnet if only the last octet is "0". Think.

Angine de poitrine is a very crazy French-Canadian microtonal math-rock band that is amazing.

Lawo is a (German?) console manufacturer who makes big broadcast consoles.

The Warm Grey of the Quickening Sky

Josh James wrote about Lou Carbonneau , who passed away last week. I knew him from the Christmas play Josh mentions in his article and I have fond memories of Lou even though I haven't seen him in more than two decades. It's sad too that the crash killed a girl and severely injured someone else.
