Funk The War

A friend of mine asked me to record a 90-minute mix for Funk The War, which is planned for March 19, 2008 to commemorate the fifth anniversary of the US invasion of Iraq. This mix will be the part of the soundtrack for bunches of students dancing in the streets of Washington, DC in a peaceful (at least I hope it stays peaceful) protest of the Iraq War.

Most of the tracks are edited in some way by me, on the fly by extending, adding breakdowns, glitches, sampling some of my own original loops, etc. Fun stuff.

Enjoy!

Leopard + M-Audio FireWire 1814 Fixed (Sort of)

Last night I was able to get my audio interface working with Leopard. Almost three months after Apple released Leopard, M-Audio has still not updated their drivers for many of their products. I understand this is affecting not just the FireWire 1814, but other M-Audio devices as well. I don’t think Digidesign has updated their drivers yet, either.

At any rate, I have been able to get my interface working with Leopard using M-Audio’s FireWire driver version 1.8.2 (available here). This is not *fully* functional, as there is still some wierdness with the interface. For example; in Live I can route the Master to channels 1 and 2 and the Cue to channels 3 and 4, and have output from 1 and 2 and monitoring in 3 and 4 on the headphones as expected. I cannot, however, use the A/B switch on the front panel to switch the headphone output from Cue to Master as I used to be able to. This is significant, but not a deal-breaker for me.

Here’s how I did it. These instructions worked for me, and I make no guarantees as to whether or not they will work for you. If you break something, I’m sorry, but I can’t be held responsible. I’m sorry I don’t have screenshots or specific filenames, but I wasn’t really thinking this was all going to work at the time.

Moving on…

New Music Project Video

I mentioned a little while ago that I was working on a new music project with some folks. Here’s a little taste of that.

There’s not much to it yet, and forgive the crummy A/V quality.
