another day of procrastination..

an election was just called in canada. true to form as the nerd that i am, the policy discussion [rather than the name-calling that will dominate the news cycle] is of great interest to me. under the proper circumstances, i could see myself running for office, one day when i'm reaching retirement age.

i'm pretty sure i've got it stable, and i just need to see, now, if there's any conceivable way to get the files to null - i need to determine whether i'm dealing with corruption at the cubase level, or if the drivers were just right fucked. i can't shake the logical flow charts that combine before the out, and the pattern turned out to be relatively weak in the end, so a broken cubase really seems like a more rational problem. but that might mean i can't recreate it at all.

on that end, i went through and made sure there were no leftover file access connections to the previous install [by taking ownership of the secondary drive i'm using], and i'm going to want to do some things like try and render from other disks, and maybe defrag it.

i may find myself in the annoying position of having mixed everything in broken cubase projects and being unable to recreate the results. not there yet...

...but i do honestly think that the drivers are really finally clean.
