Whew!!!

Someone pointed out (I believe it was Rain) on how he should block the software forum because it's too dangerous.
I too have felt this way because just about every time I look in here it cost's me some money.

Well for the first time in quite some time I actually took a peek around and haven't been tempted to break out the credit card/paypal account.

Well so far anyway...After all it is only 9:30 AM.

I knew it!!!!

Just the calm before the storm.

Mike

Don't do it Mike!!!

Well, you can if you really want......

Give me your info. I can gladly spend it for you.

You probably wouldn't want it. I've done some good damage to it over the last few months.


I think I hopefully know what I'm spending on next.


Out back of my girlfriends house is a nice size concrete building. A bit bigger then a large 2 car garage.
Just sitting there with nothing but an old go-cart in it and some shelves. Oh and a busted up Sheetrock ceiling.
 
We were talking this week and she actually brought up that since I spend 80% of my time there, why not fix it up all nice like and put my gear in there.
I was out there sizing things up. I would like to vault out the ceiling, build a drum booth, a vocal booth, a live room and a mixing room. 
It already has it's own electrical panel (100 AMP) so that's all set. Being an electrician and in the trades all my life I have all the help and expertise needed.
Now to start gutting and planning. 


This is not going to be cheap and I don't want to skimp so I'm going to have to come up with a solid plan and material list and see if it's do-able. 


No neighbors, well none real close. Her house is at the end of the street with woods on the one side and damn far out back too.
Her brother lives next door and doesn't mind if he hears a little drums and bass now and again.
Being a block building will also help sound wise.
I've done loads of reading over the years and know exactly how to go about building a 'quiet to the outside world' place.


God I love that woman.
Now I just have to talk her into getting another job or two to help offset the cost's.

Thanks for the autobiography, chef. It'll save buying it on Kindle.

 
 

LOL I know. Sorry about that. I was over-tired and rambling on.
I do try to keep it to the Readers Digest condensed book size but sometimes I get a little long winded.

I'll try and filter myself from now on but I can't promise anything.

VST Preppers is a new series starting on the National Geographic Channel. I think we may see a few from the software forum on there.

The program profiles various VST collectors, or "preppers," preparing for the end of civilization or future price rises. The series interviews nutters (people) who are preparing to survive the various circumstances through which VSTs as we know it might come to an end, including economic collapse, Native Instruments world domination, societal collapse, anti-synth laws, electromagnetic pulse, complicated authorisation processes, terrorist acts, custom shops, nuclear incidents, iObsessed companies, fuel shortages, flash sales, war, Jordan Rudess ,pandemics, geomagnetic reversal, and NFR etc. The interviews detail the actions that the preppers (people who buy anything) have taken, and end with an expert analysis and recommendations on how to avoid being one of them.
