Stormcellar Band Home Page

Soo close!

1. Sound distortion issue sorted for secondary stream.
2. Some balance issues.
3. Vision switcher scenes collapsing on click unexpectedly. Like 5 times. Operator error most likely (that'd be me) or a bug? Hmm...
4. Graphics organisation still a little meh.
5. Fox needs a mic.
6. Need 2 more screens
7. WTF are the cameras disappearing from the devices on reboot? BOO!! Drivers! Booo!!! Mind you I am using some cheap old ...working, fully functional, didn't spend any additional cash, be grateful, POS cameras (LOL!!) 

There is a lot to comprehend to 'get' this thing. yikes.

Top Dollar Jonesy for the win.

Sooo close.

Next week. Yep. We'll bump it up one more notch.

This is totally worthwhile :)

About 14 hours from now, Downtime ep 4 streaming live! If you're a cellar dweller, join us in the Studio audience or catch it live...somewhere...on the internet

After a COVID flare up in NSW and VIC the local vibe is tenuous. Our mate the Phantom Phiddler did a gig last Friday and said the message about social distancing may not be getting through.

I have a suspicion we may wind up in another lock down soon. Fingers crossed we keep following the science.

Meeeeanwhile - Mixing, Recording, rehearsing and the Streaming continue safely, socially distanced, at a reasoned, gentle pace.

I am awaiting some stuff from our last US trip so we can figure out the next steps. With Gig revenue destroyed, it rather puts a crimp in the Production Budget. But we are crafty and versatile.

Thanks to MC, ML and all the folks who are giving input and help to get it sorted.

Two Salon tracks are in post production, trying to work out places to put fades and some mastering questions.

Things have slowed right down, because, well, Pandemic; yet we're still moving. Carefully and thoughtfully sure, but, moving. It's been good to get a pause, I for one was glad of the downtime post US tour. 

Speaking of Downtime, I am not sure the weather favours us this week so I am now working out Wet Weather planning for the show. Hmmm..

Keep staying safe out there, especially for our Mates from the States. We know how things are. We're not through this yet, but we can get there. Slowly, thoughtfully, methodically and by following all the science stuff.

We'll be streaming this week, drop by if you need some downtime. I also expect you might see a few other thing spop up as they come off the reduced-speed stormcellar production line.

Until I see you, stay safe and look after yourself.

We had enough time to get coffee.

this was ON.

Sorted.

I pulled the plug on the laptop as I moved it. Why in't the battery installed? Long story.

Reboot. Mid stream.

When it rebooted...I hadn't saved the settings.

It used the audio settings from last week.

Nooobodys fault but mine.

It gets better each time we do it. ALMOST. Dang it. I'm waiting for the point where we do it 2 weeks in a row and get it right.

To be fair we are substituting the work of a studio crew for a mouse and a jaunty attitude.

Happy graduation Elie, Happy Bithday for next week Elise.

This is starting to cook, each week, yes. I am totally stoked with the idea of stepping through this methodically. there is so much going on.

I am enjoying the heck out of this. New interpretations of the songs, heck we even changed Key. 

Join us next week when we set mutators to max and throw the switch.




A little more lightning and we might get this thing out into the wild :)

Episode 3 of downtime this week! Live Thursday night US/Friday am Sydney. To join the studio audience live online, ask a cellar feller!
