today i set up the main parts of my home studio (Roland VS-880ex digital 8-track recorder, Roland TR707 drum machine, Plextor Plexwriter CD burner, Studio Projects VTB-1 tube mic preamp, cheap piece of crap PC speakers, etc.).
i was listening to some Jurassic 5 at moderately loudish volume. the teenage next door neighbor girl comes over to ask me to turn it down, because her sickly baby is sleeping. racist. if you can’t stand the funk, get out of funkytown.
i’m saving every penny i can until we can move the fuck out of here. this is why i hate neighbors. my old neighbors were cool, and rarely home.
i will never be able to scream again, or scrub tracks at moderate listening volume without wearing mix-killing headphones. not until we can move into a more musician-friendly place.
we’ve got to get her driving, too, so it won’t matter so much how far away from work we live (or where she can work), and so she can see her folks any time she pleases.
