Since the DST shift happened, SBR was an hour earlier since SDF goes by UTC time. Not sure how this work with my current schedule. SDF users, screwtape, ldbeth, gef, x2180, xiled, and smj were in this battle. Unfortunately, my battle was a m0ar personal one against my technology. I missed transmitting my Round 1 due to technical difficulties. Round 2 was meh..but I did get my microphone working, but the levels were low. Also, I had switched out my simple mixer from last week to a m0ar complicated DJ mixer that I had acquired from DJ buttstuf (miss you, man!) It turns out that my lead synth was not even transmitting even though I could hear it through my headphones. This was due to the crossfader being set to the lead synth instead of to "thru" and the slider was pushed to the opposite side. I have found that it is important to understand your hardware and its interconnections prior to connecting to the openmic mount point, or you end up doing as I did and not having an optimal experience. Not a big deal for me since I was able to work through the issues and learn some new things. FWIW, the M E M O R E X can be found in the aNONradio archives [1] I think I am in the second recording [2] around 41:36. I'll have to give the recordings a more active listening since I was so distracted with my issues that I couldn't focus so much on the other participants. Sorry guys.
