I did music/band stuff. I still do, but I used to also.
I’m reminded of the Chris rock skit about how women are liars. Lol

Ok, I’m trying a cheaper option: a memory stick duo pro to pop into the camera itself and then record from tape to that, then take that to my Mac Studio and see what happens then. Rather spend $20 than $200 for adapters.

Scratch that. QT just quits unexpectedly around 50sec into recording. Ugh.

I think I’m gonna have to pull the trigger on “the dongle from hell”

FireWire 400-FW800-Thunderbolt 2-TB3

Ugh…damn old technology.

Whelp QuickTime sees the adapter for both video and audio, so as much as I didn’t wanna use QT to record these tapes, it might be my only solution.

At least then I can take the final file into Logic and see if I can do my best to get all the audio to sound better.

I also noticed that every time I post a pic of him, I have my lights set to a purpleish hue. That’s not an app filter or whatever.

That’s a good one

I found my “old” MacBook Pro that has FireWire 800, so I just got a 400-800 adapter coming tomorrow.

Now to figure out my RCA camcorder which only uses 2 RCA ports. This one has the most shows I taped, like #VelvetAcidChrist back in like 1999 or 2000.

Now, granted, I had heard previous albums like Theater of Pain for example, by way of my older brother, so I knew who they were, I just never got any albums cause, why would I when I can simply go into my brothers room and listen to them? Lol

I found Dr Feelgood on cassette tape in the woods under a bunch of leaves and shit while I was a kid on a camping trip. It was pretty dirty and damp. Too it home, took it apart, cleaned it up, put it back together and worked perfectly.

That was my first MC tape!

I was talking to my mom on our cruise and she said she just recently recycled the family’s Betamax. Sad news.

Attack Ships On Fire is a fantastic song.

I really hope you took away at least one “isle” of artists. The past few years, you’ve crammed tons of artists into a small space and it makes it impossible to move through the isles and see everyone’s art. Last year I didn’t even go in because of the amount of people.

Well that stinks. Guess I’m not buying it then. It looks great, but I hate pvp type shit, as a casual gamer.

Thanks for the info my man! Cheers!

Not to jump in here, but question:

Is it true it’s basically a free for all, meaning you can kill anyone you see, player or enemy?

I’m really interested but if I can go into a game and immediately be killed by folks looking to steal my shit, I ain’t buying it. I’m a coop guy, not pvp.

It’s a tad sad that I can’t raise his right arm to show his gun, which was #Powerglide , which transformed into the gun. It’s too heavy.
