ZOOM R16 Recoder: Interface: Controller-System Test
The DarKside Studio has a, ZOOM R16 Recorder. It is an 8-track digital recording/computer interface device that has many features. One feature it does not have is a built in drum machine, which may not be a big deal, but the owner of, Chandler Music in McKenzie-Tennessee, said it did! But I'm going to put that issue aside for now, and focus on what I do have to work with.

After reading the manual repeatedly, I still could not hear my guitar, which the manual specifies to be plugged in to the first channel (1). After much frustration, I traced it to a bad connection with a headphone jack adaptor! Shitmanfuck! And that was pure accident too. I was already pissed at not being able to find any settings to engage a drum machine, because there was none (went to the website too), so I decided I would listen to some music on my, Playlist, and maybe re-read the damn manual again!

When I went to unplug my headphones is when I heard the beautiful clean sound of my, (Squire) Fender Telecaster. The headphone adaptor had a loose connection.

So, I guess I will head back to Chandler's Music and not only buy a good set of headphones, but look at a drum machine as well. Not that I like drum machines over a real drummer, I just don't own a drum set, or microphones. I should have never gave up learning the drums 26 years ago when I sold my first set, which were Tama's by the way. The mistakes I've made.

Maybe Chandler's Music will give me a good cash discount, especially on the drum machine!

ASUS LifeFrame Program-Sound Failure After 10 Seconds
Made my very first video using the, ASUS LifeFrame webcam program, on my laptop. I realy like the black and white effect for the video, but the sound stops recording after 10 seconds.

I went to their website and found some the manual, but it did not address the sound length issue. But, maybe I over looked something. I will update this post and provide some links to what I've found.
