hey everyone,
just thought i'd bring an update on what's going on.
i've been offered a job interview which may pull me out of the shit if i get it, and i've been offered somewhere to stay if need be.
also since i've had all my equipment together (and a decent amp) i've been doing a couple of tracks. i managed to win an Atari Falcon030 on eBay, which is much much better than an Atari STe, and i've been using that to sequence my stuff.
i still don't have a mixer - i'm using splitter cables to hook everything up! not ideal, but it's dirty and it works.
if i can manage to get my tapes converted to MP3 at a friend's house i'll try and upload the material.

I, on the other hand, will say you are a burden on society and should be extinguished.

You dirty old fag. On a more vital topic, is there any word on a DVD release of If.... the fact that Garth Marenghi's Darkplace was released gives me great hope that this jewel will also be released.

I saw only recently a clip of Garth Marenghi and instantly ordered it from zee Amazon. RE Lyndsay Anderson films on DVD, perversly the worst film of the trilogy, "Britannia Hospital" is avaialble for under a fiver, whereas the classics... nowhere. But, surely, surely, there will come a day.

Yeah I have Britannia Hospital on DVD I'm afraid to say, and I got If.... and O! Lucky Man on VHS but their quality is deteriorating and I'd like some Docs etc! Fingers crossed anyway. Oh, and for the starter of this thread as well, of course.

but more importantly, hows your tb303 and tr808 doing? Did they make little drum acid synths yet? I was thinking of selling my mixer to someone, but i'm not sure if i should, you might find it shit. It's a Roland M-160, analog, 16 channel, 3 sends, 1 aux, 4 returns, and it's a rack mixer. I bought it for 150 euro's (you might wanna do the math yourself), and might sell it for a 100. The slider and knob pots crackle abit cause they might be dusty, never thought of opening it up and cleaning it. Maybe you're interested in buying, and maybe i'll be interested in selling.

marlowe thank you sir :)
dog_belch *kiss kiss*
unabomber thank you :) i made it to the 2nd interview, so i'll find out by Friday if i have the job. it's very similar work along the lines of what i was doing before they made us redundant. 1st Line IT support.
Fah the equipment is doing nicely, although the 303 and 606 are getting a little neglected at the moment - but only due to the fact taht i've been tinkering around with my MIDI equipment on Logic. i've done a couple of short little demo things, if i can manage to get them digitized i'll upload them for people to listen to. that mixer sounds really nifty, and would be right up my alley but at the moment i don't have any money spare. going back and forth from Widnes to Burton by train has been expensive, and since i currently have no income it's troublesome. if i manage to get this job though i'll be sure to get in touch and ask if you're still considering selling :)
oyvinto winners don't do drugs
sheffieldbleep checked out the site, nifty :) can't seem to find any Atari related stuff though.
if i manage to get some more beefy material done, i'll submit some to ya ;)

Didn't see this thread till now. Good news Oscillik, hope you get the job and it works out for you.
On the subject of mixers, soundcontrol are doing the Behringer UB802 6 channel mixer for just £39. Could be an ideal stop-gap mixer for you.

thanks mate, i hope it does too. all this uncertainty is very very worrying.
hmm i still have my heart set on getting a Yamaha MG16, but at the moment i'm using cable splitters to get all my instruments into my amp...that Behringer does sound like the ticket.
thanks for letting me know about that :D

Sorry mate, you missed it. I've got a new website now. The old one was a rip of the old Atari ST GUI!

Dude. Before you get anything else, you need a mixer. That is dire. Your not even going to be able to enjoy any of the sound from all that classic analogue without a mixer. Even a cheap one is better than none.

From what I see, you are better suited to run a music hardware store that to actually making music.
