no. i'm going to have to a/b it.
i can get through inri031 first, though.
i badly wanted to remix this track in 2014, but i couldn't figure out how to do it in cool edit. i may have better luck in cubase.
it's going to come up with a few alternate mixes, as well - which could push the aleph discs forward.
i think i can still ship tomorrow. this is my fault, and i immediately owned it - but i hope he's patient. well, i'm doing what i can.
i need to eat, and get back to this fresh. i have a plan, anyways.

this is the botched version.
and, it was the version of hummer - reburned it because it was left unfinished.
and, in fact, i'm starting to think i tossed the disc away because it was scratched. memories are strange things.
in fact, i did work this in 2014, but i've forgotten exactly what i did. i know it led to me cutting out the synth intro as 'missed connection'. i'm going to check my journal, that's what it's there for....

so, i'm remembering something, and it's going to need some careful reconstruction.
when i went over the tracks from inri032 - including inri031 - in 2014 (we've pushed ahead to the next year, now), i hadn't set my system up for cubase yet, so i wasn't able to line anything up for a proper a/b. now that i've done so, i'm noticing that the mp3 has a significant difference in sound texture.
this isn't a degradation issue. it's a different mix.
and, this triggered a thought in my mind: i did, in fact, burn this disc twice - and it was, in truth, partly due to quality. i vaguely recall the issue having something to do with dithering. that is, i accidentally dithered and it sounded awful and i had to reburn. and, i carried these two discs around with me for a long time.
i can't find the other disc. i've looked through everything.
to complicate the issue, i remember that the second burn completed one of the tracks - i think it was the nin mix.
i vaguely recall giving away the other disc. now, i'm concerned i gave away the wrong one.
i should be able to figure this out. and, there's an upside to this - i don't have waves or source material for this, but i at least have decent quality mp3s.
i'm going to have to go through inri032 first and figure out which disc i have. did i even rip this disc, or did i rip the other? you'd think i'd have ripped both if i had both. grargh.
i'm thinking the one i wanted to have should have said MASTER in red. and it doesn't - it says demo.
it's a minor concern, in the end - it will just mean i'll have to replace some files. but, i need to figure it out. and, i'm kind of surprised i had forgotten about this, at the time.

Shipping and return policies for jessica murray
- Shipping Info
-
format:
single: $5
ep: $7
lp: $10
double ep (split digital/physical): $10
double ep (both physical): $14
double lp: $20
compilation discs: $10/hr (official releases) + free out-takes
period discs: $10/hr (all sound on disc)
releases are categorized conceptually, rather than by length.
there are 70 minute eps and 65 minute records.
compilation formats (dvd, bd) will be priced at $10/hour of music.
so, a 7.5 hour dvd flac disc will be priced at $75.
i've been unable to derive a flat pricing that makes sense.
types of compilation discs will be:
- dvd flac "box sets" of all singles around an lp. may include free out-takes.
- dvd/bd mp3/flac compilation discs are a running chronological total with no overlap. no extras on these discs.
note that flac is higher quality than mp3.
therefore, mp3 discs contain more music.
pricing is relative to length, only.
be sure to purchase what you WANT.
period discs will be as comprehensive as i can make them, meaning they will include all sound, all notes and all vlogs relevant to the period in question. the pricing will also be absolute. so, if the disc contains 35 hours of official releases, 20 hours of outtakes and 15 hours of vlogs, it will come up to $700. these discs are meant to be thought of as donations to the artist, not as economical market purchases. they will need to ship 20 years after the period closes, to sync properly with the alter-reality.
shipping:
$5 - can
$10 - us/intl
shipping rates are flat to the max, meaning i may gain slightly but i won't lose on shipping. it's otherwise about $3 to make a package. 20% of the sale price goes to transaction fees. this is as cheap as it can be while still being worthwhile to produce. if you buy a very large package (five cds or more), shipping will come down substantially and i'll contact you to talk about ways to make it more fair.
for right now, all discs will have planned limited edition, numbered handmade runs and will be made on demand up to 5000 copies sold, at which point they will be professionally pressed without numbers.
if you want me to send you something twice, you'd better be able to prove it got lost. there will be very few exceptions. sorry.
it's funny how i can turn myself off and on like that.
i told myself i'd need to sleep before i could address inri031. and, i did - for 11 hours.
that's the other side of it, the crash. but, i've been all crash, lately.
these discs are going to be closed soon, and that's a step forwards. but, it doesn't change the fundamental need to organize all of this writing - and all of these videos. in the end, it just means that i'll have that much more organizing to do.
but, i've at least broken the recursion. and, combined with all of the uncertainty around my living arrangements, it may make sense to focus solely on the discography for the next several months.
i am currently waiting for the court date around what i believe to be a frivolous eviction order. the reality is that i will not have much of any options at all, should it go through. i'm going to end up living in a one-room apartment for a while, or perhaps putting my belongings in storage and living on the street. it could be years before i'm able to rebuild the space.
if i end up homeless, i may choose to stay that way; i may sell my belongings out of storage and end up living on coffee and books in the local library.
the order should be here by now. their legal counsel seemed to deny it ever happened. and, i have strong reason to believe that they're selling the building, in which case i should lay low and wait it out.
everything will change should the notice end up in my box. and, i will need to call on monday to figure out if the office received it.
but, it wouldn't make sense to build custom shelves for the apartment - for example - only to get evicted. nor would it make sense to spend the rest of the money my grandmother gave me, because i may need it for last month's rent and moving costs.
i can't afford to move around all of the time. but, there isn't a long term solution on the market for me, right now. i'd have to find a bachelor apartment - or storage - and just cram everything in and sit and wait until something better comes up.
first of all, i don't think they put the court order through. second of all, i think i'd win the case - which would re-open the previous harassment case. in the end, i'm still here and they owe me a lot of money. third, i really do think that the building is being sold, which was the gamble that everything i've been doing always rooted itself in - all i had to do was wait them out.
for right now, my immediate focus needs to be on finalizing what i was able to complete over the last four years. and, i will no doubt look back on this large order as a kind of necessary and welcome refocus.
