The Cosmic Ray Show on Tuesday, March 19th, when we’re performing<\/a>.<\/p>\nOf course, people will be involved, so you’ll have folks standing behind those microphones, such as, you know, me. Also Jeri Lynn Cornish and Marcos Duran, both doing guest appearances on backup vocals. So it’ll be all populated and stuff.<\/p>\n
But yeah, I set it up in “TV studio mode” yesterday, for tech rehearsal. It’s the most complicated in-studio live setup I’ve ever arranged and I’m just going to rehearse and practice in this mode<\/em> until then, so I don’t have to screw with it and get it wrong later. Everybody has earbud monitors, everybody has mics, we’ll get a recording out of it as it’s webcast live, straight off the interface into my Zoom. We made a couple of minor adjustments during the dry run last night, but things went well.<\/p>\nAssuming it works as well as it has in testing (yeek), this should be pretty cool. I hope it doesn’t look too cramped. This was as visually large as I could make it without having to rip out the desk and my entire recording structure, which, yeah, let’s not.<\/p>\n
It’s supposed to look like my studio and informal. But I have to tell you, this much ordinary day-to-day naturalistic setup is a whole hell of a lot of work to fake<\/em>. I’m not the first to make that observation, but after five hours of futzing yesterday, I have the right ot say it again<\/em>.<\/p>\nSee you Tuesday, right? 8pm Cascadian\/Pacific, 11pm Eastern, 12:30am Newfoundland.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
