Ah, a multitrack rig of sorts. Good show, sir. I applaud your dedication to the process with what you had. I started on a lavalier mic and a minidisc recorder. Dark ages, those were. I wish I had the equipment and opportunity to do recording like that. But for the time being, I will make due with my humble two mic audience recordings. You can really get some good recordings that way, it's just a matter of taking all the dozens of different factors into account. I hope to figure it out any year now.
Heh, thanks. Having the multitrack inputs really helps a lot. I started out using ONE mic, as you did, so you can imagine the relief when I upgraded.
And you are right. I've heard some fantastic recordings come out of two mic setups. It's a matter of controlling all the variables you can at setup, positioning the mics correctly, and not relying too much on "I'll fix it in post," because really, with two mics you don't have a lot of leg room to fool around in post. Set it up correctly from the get go and then just worry about minor level tweaks in post.
Mind you, of all the "Oh god what have I done!?" majors, English is probably the least insane, especially since most people are fucking illiterate, making you the lord god to many people once they actually witness your skills.
But you'd better be a sturdy soul.

I actually started out focusing in the sciences. But I soon realized that lab work bored me to tears, and that I was too quick to figure out ways to weaponize things.

I'd say I'm rather sturdy, or at least apathetic enough towards wealth and success.

It doesn't help that I work in live sound as well, because now I know all the stupid things that can go wrong with the sound of a concert before it even gets to the speakers. I just go into a small club with a half-assed stage and sound setup and I start to weep.
The trick with a major is to find one which produces a product or service that is identifiable and searchable for jobs.
It makes life a whole lot simpler.
Also make sure that the jobs you could want are available in a place you want to live.
Whereas I managed to pick a major that has no actual distinct career path attached to it and which has, as its most obvious career paths, New York as its primary end. And fuck New York.
Hay guyz does Econ fit this description or am I totally fucked?
Hmm, just flipping through the channels to get to Comedy Central...apparently channel 34 has scrambled porn. That's interesting...
Is it Skinemax? That seems like a rather low channel number for a pure porn channel.
I have no idea. I'm surprised by it. The cable channels back home stopped showing scrambled porn like 10 years ago. Seems odd that scramble technology has receded, now that I've moved closer to Columbus.
I knew a dude a few years ago who had a degree in... like, particle physics or something crazy like that. He was working as a barber.
The trick with high-end science is that there is a limited demand and that demand is mostly from universities and universities are 90% about who you know.
One of the designers for Dungeons and Dragons, at least during the 3E era, was a geneticist.
Should I have a conversation on the phone with an intelligent girl who sees through all of my facades? I am a bit tipsy and my lies may unravel or even worse i'll be truthful.
I kind of wanted to write a book exploring american mythology surrounding a lot of our cultural icons, ideas, and holidays.
The church down the road spent its' "donated in the name of God" money on a 30' inflatable pink Easter rabbit, that they placed in front of the church three weeks before Easter. In case you need somewhere to start.

The last time a girl talked to me on the phone when I wasn't really set up to be able to hold my tongue I drove her into looking into convents.

Yes. Start the conversation by saying something that will catch her entirely off guard. Proposition her for anal sex, for example.

That's pretty far out of character for me. I go for that regal thing unless it's a casual setting with mah dudes...then i'm 4chan.

Right, that's the point. She'll hardly be able to hold anything you say against you if you preface the conversation with someone drunken and entirely out of character.
On the other hand, maybe you'll get some anal out of it.
I meant more of an exploration of the things that historically make america america. Like, thanksgiving didn't actually happen. The pilgrims didn't really come over for religious freedom, not in the manner that most of us would think of. Pioneers going westward weren't lone rugged men. Cowboys weren't who you think. The war of independence was started because the colonists were quite selfish and loudmouthed, and could not have been won without french intervention.
That sort of thing.

I am majoring in English. Wooo!
Or apparently, not Wooo.
I told someone who I knew from highschool who I really hated that I was doing a major in kicking their ass.
It's the guys with the PhDs in it who hand me my french fries that frighten me.
The soulless, inhuman eyes.

You really don't get any applicable skills until grad school.
Ahahahaha oh you poor bastard.

I have considered this.
And where are you employed, Jewcar?
This should be fun. I'm staying at the legendary Hotel Chelsea where (I believe) Sid Vicious died or something.
Weeeee.

I work at a construction company. :P
I'm basically an $18/hour half-ass lawyer.

I've worked at a restaurant with a guy who had his masters in history

English is actually a really strong way to make any other degree easier.
It's easier for an English major to get into medicine than a biology major because we do pages of essays just for quizzes.

Econ shouldn't be too bad. Money and Math are pretty viable skills. It's not like the arts where you have to be interesting on top of able.
Going to go and lie down. One should not pick fights with glass plates if you don't think you'll win.
Ah, construction worker. Good man.

Jotate has your best interests in mind.
Go for it.
