I think I need to just put this fantasy to bed and consider doing something with my 2nd floor. The estimates thus far have totaled over $12,000. That's a lot of instruments and trailer trips! I can put $500 into my second floor and give it the ski lodge treatment with some tongue in groove wood on the walls. Since I don't record live I don't have any concern about room treatments. The only recording I do that isn't line level is sing, and I do that in a little foam deadened booth. So maybe I'll just do that. Do some sexier lighting than the florescent fixture up there now. Maybe a track light on the ceiling and 4 sconce lights per wall.
I smashed the hell out of my car today. When the cops came I told him "Officer, that guy was BOTH texting and drinking a beer." The cop said "Sir, he has every right to do that. I mean, it's HIS living room..."

Good move - florescent lamps and single-coil pickups do not sit together happily. Keep away from dimmer switches as well if you want to limit interference.

One of the studios I worked in had Variacs mounted in the wall for the lighting, which was all incandescent. No buzz, no hum, perfect. Regular old triac dimmers will buzz on incandescent - I've been testing with dimmable LED's, so far so good, but haven't got really into that yet. They're harder on the eyes I think.
I think I'd like something industrial/steampunk-ish like this. 6 of these along with a 6 canister track light on the ceiling. I just have to get them where that angle is variable because the wall they'd go on is slanted.
I also wat to have an electrician in to look at isolating the circuit where the computer is plugged in. It may already be. I don't know. That's not my area of expertise, but my friend Brian will know.

Gotta be careful with LEDs, some cause radio havoc. I put in some low voltage LED landscape lighting and now my garage door openers don't work when they are on. Took me a while to figure out what happened.

In today’s electronics, switching power supplies are typically preferred due to cost, size, and efficiency.
So there you have it...more cheap crap from China, poorly made, poorly designed sold to a group of people who are too stupid to understand or care.
I had to move the AT&T modem out of my garage because it generated enough noise to effect my oscilloscope.
I am not saying that there are no good switching power supplies because there are. They are finding there way into solid state music amps. Galen Kruger offered to send me to school to learn to repair the switching power supplies.
It appears I was one of the few people in far south Florida who would work on their equipment. They wanted me to take over all warrantee work in South Florida. I AM RETIRED !!!No more work!!!...lol
Here is some more government that lets a lot of stuff slip by. The Enforcement Bureau's Spectrum Enforcement Division, in conjunction with the Regional and Field Offices, is responsible for responding to interference complaints involving FCC licensees

New location, new environment, new music coming soon
Seize the moo-ment If you feel like you’ve herd all these cow puns before, you probably have deja-moo
Sorry, was just trying to explain why my garage door opener stopped working 'sometimes'. The topic swerved to LED, now it seems to have swerved in a completely different direction
/my fault, I'm sure // .. good luck getting Eddie to do anything that wasn't his idea <grin>

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
