Still struggling with how to wrangle the complexity of using Octatrack live.  Was hoping to prep "Play 4/4" to allow for recording of mics to two open tracks and then play those back through the "Thru" tracks to allow me to mix in the house.  No luck... only one track free.  (Could possibly free the bass track by re-doing the part in midi... a good future project).

First solo practice at Grand Annex.  Got the overview of the sound board and equipment locker.  They're already thinking of me as Artist in Residence.  They asked me whether there was a way to work around the F-word in my piece... a bit of a red flag.

Notes: 

Equipment setup went well.  Could hear sound in house pretty well so didn't bother with recording to Zoom and listening in the house.

Practice over Patterns 9 and 4.  Tweaked levels.

Realized I can easily send live drum tracks through the Cue outputs (with two more DIs), or whatever else Joel might want to hear separately.

Listened to Prairie in the house and boosted the level and low end of kick.
