Or by a sound board. Ha, ha. So here's the other route you can go, mike. So you went that direction, which is totally cool. And depending on how you want it set up, that is the better route, depending on what you want to accomplish. On my end, i simply bought a full on soundboard. Thatt has a built in compressor. It's got the whole e c settings. I can run effects on it if i wanted to. But, you know, it comes with preamps and a lot of gain to it. So mike's like a high p r forty. That thing is super gain hungry. And you can run those on this particular one. With the the bata 80 an, it's fairly gain hungry too. Not nearly as much, i don't think. But even on this particular board, i can drop the pad off of it and run it at like a quarter on it. So i've still got a 75 % higher i could go with this particular one. So it's a, and what am i using? It's the barringer 12 o four usb. So it's a usb sound board. So i'm, i'm running everything through that. And because it's a full sound board, i actually pull the output off of my computer and run it as a separate input into that board. And then i'm picking and choosing what i want to go into my head phones out of all that. So i'm like treating my output on it like a full monitor set up. So that's waig more information than most people wanted, but that's the route that i'm going to a lot of those features. But you have a lot more in your set up than what i d ya.

But nobody cares about that. What you really care about itis the book marks that you mentioned in the last episode. So i have follow up for this also. Ok, think i sent you a picture, but i have book marks right here. I grab onek wave it front of the microphone. You can't hear ita tha that that's a bookworm book mark. On the front, it has the loa, and it says, the internet's largest book club, with a disclaimer that, a, this is all me, and you assume no responsibility. And then on the back, there's the othe bookworm loga with the glasses, like the long, skinny one on the top of the web site. And these are not just your run of the mill, cheap little book marks. These are two by six, so they're two inches wide and then six inches tall. And they are the thickest cardboard i could find from you printing. So i think they start it like eight or ten. And i'm like, i don't want some flimsy little book mark to be marking my page in my books. I going to go all out, yes. So i have thesea 16 pound or whatever. A. The the mat ones in there, they're really nice. They they don't bend. They're not going to get ruined just because, o you're using them in normal data day, normal datea day use. Also, it turns out, when you order stuff off the internet, if you buy like a hundred of em, it's fairly expensive. If you buy like a thousand, it's only a couple of books more. Se,

i have a thousand of these bookmarks waiting

to be given out to people. Now, i'm not going to tll you how you can get them yet. You' aing hve to tune i next episode to find out how you can buy one of these from where you are right now. But i will say that i will bring these with me to max stock this summer. And if you listen to the podcast, come sa, hi, and i will give you a bookworm book mark. Nice.
