I go and buy a nice new mixer (the mackie onyx.) Within a week or so of owning it, I knock a glass of red wine all over the bastard. Now it produces all these weird hissing and buzzing noises. I am sad. :-( |

"you should put white wine on it" |

Sorry to hear that. Take it to your local electrical appliance fixing shop (most towns have one somewhere) and ask them to look at it. I broke one of giginger's old turntables by accidentally knocking the start button whilst a glass of absinthe was resting on the platter. Don't drink and DJ, kids, it ruins lives. |

Make an album using the noises. |
||||||||
|

I spilt quite a lot of ribena on my laptop while djing a few years ago, and it didnt cause any damage. I realise this is not a very impressive story for several reasons. |

i like it |

I wanted to sample the noises, because they were fairly interesting, but I was too cross to go through with it. |

Damn, sorry to hear that. I'd be pretty devastated if that happened to me, but i'm smart enough to keep liquid away from electrical devices :) In other words, the last time I poured juice all over my stereo, things didn't sound quite as nice as before. In fact, there was no sound at all. Boo. |

yeah. what i did was leave the manual at a gig. so for years ive had this monstrous tascam 688 that i have almost no idea how to use :) |

|

i'm pretty sure thats what you get for drinking glasses of wine while doing what ever youre doing rule of thumb: keep liquids away from nice things |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
why don't you just download a manual? |
||||||||
|
|

believe me ive tried :D no luck so far ... |

Never ever ever rest food or drink on or around your gear. Always keep that stuff on a different table so accidents can't happen. I constantly have to be reminding my gf to not rest food beside my stuff, but I would rather not have to pay hundreds of dollars to fix something if it can be avoided. |

do you think it would be acceptable to drink beer out of a baby's bottle? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you fucken wanker! but seriously.. i'm clumsiest person of them all. walking into walls and whatnot. so it's best i stay away from getting too cocky with nice things and beverages. and will taking it to shop really help? nothing gets red wine out! |
||||||||
|
|

|

Back in the day Id also get around it by smoking pot instead of drinking. But then I would often knock the whole mixer off the table. |

Funny you should mention that. When we were 'wacky' hard up students, me and a couple of mates used to take vodka out with us on nights out, using toddlers' spill-proof cups. We used to then just buy cokes and surepticiously add our own vodka. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what feature of the spill proof (or "sippy") cup made it more suitable than a normal bottle? |

Sell it as "circuit bent " for twice the price, get a replacement and another synth. |

1. They are very robust, so when you fall over onto them, they don't crack or leak. 2. They are short and stout and hence easily concealed in (then fashionable) combat trouser pockets. 3. It was easier to surrepticiously tip vodka from one of those into a glass in a pub/club, than to unscrew the lid and pour it in. (We had flip up tops that were easily operated with one hand, whilst it was still in your pocket) 4. We were "wacky" students and there's not much wacky about normal bottles. |

I only ask because as a wacky student myself, I havent found anything to trump the classic hipflask for surreptitious alcoholation |

Yes, I agree they are superb. I've got an intialled silver hipflask that I use for this purpose these days. Filled with 89.5% absinthe, it significantly reduces the cost of a night on the tiles. As it looks quite smart, you can also get away with using it at places where a fluorescent pink cup with a cartoon cow on the side might be deemed inappropriate by more conservative people. For example, at a funeral. One thing against it that I will say though is that despite being made of metal, it doesn't resist damage as well as the sippy cups- mine has a (not insignificant) dent in the side from when I fell on it. |

YOU DONT KNOW A GOOD WINE UNTIL YOU DRINK A FRENCH OR SPANISH WINE and that my firends waS WORTH THE CAPITALS |

Red red wine you make me feel so fine You keep me rocking all of the time |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if you hadda added ..."from a beatiful ladies shoe!" you would've sold me. But since you haven't I'll assume the wine was only partially worth the capitals. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
let's assume it's easier to find a mackie onyx than a beautiful lady - with a clean shoe ! ;] |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but if you do find that beautiful woman... she will make the wine well worth the hunt. ......and the mixer a distant memory. |
