 Hey, it's Anfa and it's that time again! Rusty night time! Follow me! So I have a big announcement to make! I'm going for Patreon! You can check it out at patreon.com slash Anfa. You can support me with whatever you can support me with. That page is rather barebones right now, but I'm gonna be working on it and adding more stuff and probably also writing some blog posts because I haven't been writing a blog for a long time and I feel like it's time to get rolling with that stuff. Anyway, I made this because you asked for it. I want to thank very much everyone who supports me with money or with feedback to my work in progress tracks for the new album or with kind words or with just being a friend and helping me develop and I also want to thank all the open source audio developers who created amazing software that we can all use to make music that we want. It's just fantastic. I'm so happy that I can make music and I don't need to be rich to have access to the tools. Everybody has a computer right now, everybody, almost everybody, and the software is there. Like you can just download LMS and start making tracks. All the sims, all the effects are there. It's free. It's open source. It's pure liberty of creation. This is awesome and I want to preach that to you. That's why I'm doing this channel and if you want that, if you want me to grow, support me on Patreon. You can help me out. Also, the second announcement is I'm going to release a new Long Play, a big album. Here should go some quick mix edit of the work in progress tracks. Quick notice, some of these tracks are not finished, very much not finished. They are like work in progress mixes exported from LMS that have limiters. That's why there are these badly cut peaks because of the limiting and the red clipping marks. But the first tracks are already almost done and they are nice and dynamic and the mixes are much better also. All right, this is going to be sounding kind of like this. I hope to blow off some socks. Okay, and the third thing, this video is not a tutorial, but I want to record another tutorial today. I finally feel full of energy. I can't record, stop. All right, on with the knife. So, here's my lovely backpack. I used to carry my laptop everywhere I go, but not anymore. So, the new stuff I bought. Actually, I think I won't use the knife too much. We have a Western Digital 4TB drive. Why? Well, because I've run out of backup space. I have no backups. I, for like two years or three years, I'm doing like every two or three days, I'm doing an increment of incremental backup with RDV backup. Sorry. Yeah, RDV backup script. That is wonderful. I highly recommend that script if you're running Linux, or even probably Sigwin on Windows. You can use that. It's very efficient. It's very quick. It uses R-Sync. It can do it also through the network, and it saved my life a few times. Really, it's great. All right, so that's the disk, because I need to store my old projects. And, you know, for every video, I'm capturing from like 10, 15 to 30, 40 gigabytes of video files that I need to store. And then the proxy adds another half of that. And, you know, the resulting files also aren't small because I'm capturing lots of files. And I would like to get a second camera, maybe, and put it on this thing here so I can have shots like this above my desk. If you recognize this shot, you've been on my Facebook page. If you haven't been on my Facebook page, check out my Facebook page. You can keep in touch, and yeah, and get notifications about new videos and music and stuff. So I would love to have a second camera mounted there. But that would also mean I need space to store the captured video files, because I'm going to be then capturing 4K video instead of 2K video, because I... Or maybe 3K video. I don't know. I don't even know. Yeah, because I would be capturing two full HD images from camera and one full HD image from the screens. And maybe I could even capture two screens and two cameras. That would be cool. But I would need a third screen to view my... To see my... I'm going to show you. Because I have my, you know, control screen right here. This is my main screen. Right now it's just a preview of what I'm recording. And normally I do all my DAW work. I use Ardor here and then I put all that stuff there. But this second screen is my control. And I monitor the loudness. And I have a mixer. Here's my voice. Yeah. There's the inputs. And there's the OBS. And I have some room for text notes here. Yeah, so if I had a second camera... You can't see this camera because I don't have a second camera to show you the camera. But it's Logitech C920. It's pretty nice. It could be sharper. It could make sharper images a little bit. It's not using just its resolution to the max, even though it has more than full HD image from it. But never mind. So if you want to help me out with getting more camera, more disk space to store the images so I can get back and get some bureau from previous episodes, if I had time to do that anyway. So the second thing I bought is a aged hard disk. What did they call it? I don't know. Tray. Yeah. It's a way to insert the hot swap hard disks in and out of my PC very quickly. I actually wonder how does it look in real life because all I saw was a CGI rendered image. Oh yeah, they gave me SATA cable. SATA SATA cable. Good. Because I have just one and I was afraid it's going to be too short. Oh, this is nice. An aluminium. Looks like we're going to have a lot of packaging stuff flying around. But that's cool. That's fun. All right, so here's your little unboxing. Lads and... Actually, what's? Lass and lads? Lasses and lads? I don't know how to say that. Boys and girls. Hey, that one looks nice. And it's going to match my chassis because it's black. The type of plastic used on this is even similar to my PC chassis. I'm going to do a little zoom, macro. Yeah. So the disk comes in here and yeah, and I can hot swap it. And it has a fan and it has... Oh, nice clickers. And it has some interface on the back. It has a buzzer. No idea why. Oh, this is the cooling mode. It can be high or auto. And I heard that in auto mode, this fan is making high pitch noises. We're going to check this out. I hopefully will be able to even capture some of that buzzing noises and stuff. And it has a buzzer. Why does it have a buzzer? I don't know. Maybe to say, dude, you're burning your drives. What are you doing? Oh, and I also have a bit of some keys and screws. So that's nice. And silica gel. Where's Lou? Where's Lou? Lou, there's your silica gel for your cameraman. Take it. So there's a set of cable that came with my motherboard. I'm going to see if this, the set of cable that they gave me with this tray is longer. I hope it is. Yes, it is. Now there are two of these. And there is such an excess of the cable. It's a tiny bit longer. That's good. That's all right. I'm breaking a sweat. All right. So I actually have to stop capturing right now because I need to actually turn on my laptop to be able to capture the video while I disassemble my PC that is doing this recording right now. And I have OBS installed them, but I have to connect this. Oh crap. How am I going to do this? Maybe I'll do it without plugging this PC. I don't know. Or maybe I just captured some bureau with no sound and play music under that. So see you in a little while. These are my backup drives. One terabyte. Not enough. Quite a while, I must say. I didn't expect that I will have some spare parts, you know, like more parts than I expected. I expected one of these and one of these, but I didn't expect to have extra this and extra this and two screws. Well, it turns out the dock doesn't get all the way deep into the chassis because it's quite short and the motherboard is just blocking it and there's no room. The hard disk tray is just too long. I didn't expect that and I had to screw it in kind of not in the way it was originally intended. And that's why I got this bracket left because now there's these holes. But none of these holes actually reached the holes on the drive. So now it's time to open up this and see if it works. All right, let's just insert it in. I press the button, the drive's pinned up, the LED lit up and I don't see the drive anywhere right now. Nothing showed up yet. Oh, it actually... No, this is not that drive. None of these is this drive. Let's sort this out with terminal science. Okay, I have one drive attached but it's not that it's free terabyte drive. Turn it off, turn it on again, see if the Linux kernel notices anything it doesn't look like. Maybe my kernel doesn't have hot swap support or something. I don't know. There's SDA, SDB and SDC and the drive isn't there. It didn't detect. You all right, buddy? You're working? You okay? Didn't say. Not a sausage. Let's see if the internet says anything about hot swap. All right, I'll try doing it without hot swapping. So I'll just leave it on and reboot the machine and see what happens. All right, I'll reboot it. Let's run a file manager and see if anything shows up. Not yet. Not yet either. It doesn't work. I really hope it's going to be just working. Okay, so it actually says enclosure. It is a device. The fuck? Didn't I insert properly or what? Okay, I'll take it out and see if this turns anything else. Right now I turn it off. Okay, it's still detected. Now I open up the tray. It's still detected. So the drive is not freaking detected at all. Nothing. All right, so to sum it up, it doesn't work yet. And I'm going to find out why, because I don't believe the hardware. It's no matter here. I'm going to research this and I'm going to find out. And that's all for today. See you next time. Bye.
