11849 and a short session streamed with more technical issues

Today I played for 17 minutes taking my total logged time to 766:44.

Today's technical issues were mainly that my PS3 needed a system update. I had intended just to play while I drank a cuppa, but once I'd gone to the effort of setting up for streaming, that I should actually do something (although I did consider a private practice session). I still have some new songs to download still.

I could do with some time to do a long session, and get some additional songs played I haven't played on bass before.

All together, I have played 11849 songs, mainly on the Rocksmith games although some have been either solo practice or with friends. It has been about 164 days since I played all the songs in my list.

No stream or playing today

Major tech issues today. Yesterdays setup didn't work at all despite *nothing* having been changed.

Initially the video capture card wasn't getting the video feed, but it was getting the audio. So IT Crowd solution: turn it off and on again.

<reboot>

Now the video is working but not the audio.

Uninstall the mixer software

Install the latest mixer software (much newer).

<reboot>

Try getting the game audio through the audio box. Notice that the capture card was now getting the audio.

Everything back together the way it was supposed to be.

[looks at clock] And that's lunchtime over and gone.

I had up to three viewers on my stream today, thanks for Vianna and Elephant Sacks for tuning in. Many thanks to Vianna for helping organise my audio issues. Using a cheap microphone doesn't help me one bit, so I'm now using one of my good microphones in the office as well as at home.

To reach affiliate status, I need to get another 40+ followers, and get more than an average of 3 viewers over my streams.

11829 and a short session

I was wanting to try and get the mac to record the video, but it's being a pain. And after rebooting it's ignoring it's keyboard again!

Audio at work much improved, I used my Focusrite Scarlet 6i6 to capture the audio from the original microphone, and it seemed loud enough.

Nobody was on my channel to give feedback, so I'm just going to hope for the best, and that I get someone listening tomorrow.

Today I played for 15 minutes taking my total logged time to 765:31.

All together, I have played 11829 songs, mainly on the Rocksmith games although some have been either solo practice or with friends.

This session was streamed on my twitch channel https://www.twitch.tv/stoker_n. Songs attempted were:

  1. Are You Gonna Be My Girl by Jet on Lead played in E tuning
