So this past Saturday, did a little freelance work. Something I haven't had a lot of, since moving back to CA. This time, it was tuning a sound system for a major Broadway designer that is in LA doing a new musical. I've tuned a bunch of rooms, but always for shows I'm on staff for. I was real nervous going into it. The system was loosely designed, not well thought out. Kinda surprising for a Broadway designer. We worked that system all day Saturday. By Midnight, when we left, we felt awesome. We got a system, that on paper, had huge gaps in coverage. At the end of the night, we had nice, even coverage all over the theater. The delays were tight! Sounded nice and smooth.
Just got an email from the Assistant (friend of mine, who recomended me for the gig), she wrote:
[Designer] just leaned over and said "[Omnis_Audis] did a really good job tuning the room."
Really made my night.
I had more fun Saturday, than I've had at work in a long time. Wish I could make a living doing system tunings.
That's awesome, omnis -- I know neither Fuck nor All about tuning rooms, but I love the feeling of taking something that just isn't quite right and getting it to the point where it all goes click.
with amych here. I now want to experience a tuning room.
wear earplugs. It's a lot of pink noise (sounds like static), a lot of moving microphones around the room, a lot of moving speakers, and a ton of staring at squiggly lines on a computer screen, interpreting their meaning. Kinda like reading tea leaves. Strange enough, I really had a blast.
Go, Omnis!
Is there any reason why I can't substitute orange juice for lemon juice in my apple crisp? I finally remembered to buy butter, and I really don't want to go out again to buy lemons, but I have oranges.
sj, two things: since oranges are sweeter and tend to be slightly less acidic, you will probably have to adjust other ingredients. So depending on which elements interact with which in the apple crisp, that's what you need to keep in mind.
It's just a couple of tbs to toss with the apples. But I could use a little less sugar in the topping.
Orange juice will be OK; I've subbed it before.
I just made an impulse buy on QVC - Russian Nesting Doll style measuring cups. My color selection sold out while I was on the line (but I still got the color).
THey were relatively cheap and cute [link]
Just got an awesome birthday present. While I was gone my sister and dad came over and totally cleaned my place.
