    I'm in a band at church, and we haven't returned to the church yet.
    We exchange recordings in a dropbox account and it gets mixed into a backing track, which the primary singer is video-recorded
    singing along to. This then gets inserted into the live-stream.

    Now that is some theory... I don't think the Vortex could get organised enough to do that. On the other hand, we have Tai, running a 32 channel desk to mix the live audio. Generally he does a good job, but does have some issue with individual musicians confusing volume with quality. So this one goes out warts and all.

    After a 4-6 week hiatus from streaming. I've been under domestic
    pressure to get out of the unit more.

    Interesting. We're a bunch of introverts here and nobody's pressuring anybody to get out of the house.

    Well I'd be quite happy sitting around the unit too, in truth I know I spend to much time in the "pooty" chair, and time alone is good for anyone, so occasionally she can be home by herself relaxing and watching 500hrs of Korean series on nitflux. So getting out is actually a good thing for me to do.

    Looks like I'm due for a new round of hardware failures. :P So with Sabretooth









    retired, and brightmatter upgraded, and using 1/4 of the power of the FX990+F8150 combo, it was time to move the old brightmatter to daily drive...

    Landed the monster case on the bench, hit the switch and it flickered and died... initially thought it was the PS, but during the case swap and PS exchange, the original of which was a 650W with a dead fan and signs of heat stress.... the mobo turns out to have leaking electrolytics on it too...been there in the past... random startup problems, that turn into no start, and intermittant failure as well.

    Leaves me down two systems, one power hungry but functional, and one now faulty









    that would normally chew a lot less juice. Leaving me with a standby NUC to press into service. Always something eh.

    TLP still has some strange issues, one I've fixed before but for the life of me









    can't recall what I did to fix it. The Reader is refusing to update its last read pointers making reading busy areas interesting, and a little beyond me. Thsats about the worst though, and I seem to be getting back on top of it slowly.

    On the plus side, I've had concentrated gorefest, of Ash vs Evil Dead. Its not new, but its been entertaining. I acquired 2 seasons from somewhere, watching the third season on dailymotion. It peters out at the end of season 3..
