By now, everyone has seen those big red “EASY” buttons. Press the EASY button, and a little voice says “That was easy.” Funny for about a minute, but then it gets old.

After checking on my ongoing cone experiment (still unmoved at 3:30!) and failing to find any Groundhogs to torch, I needed something to keep me from slipping into a boredom induced coma today. Mustering a little bit of energy, I noticed a button on my audio console that was almost interesting. (Bear with me, I’m BOOORED!)
Here is the console, a Calrec Alpha series. Without getting into a lot of boring technical details, this audio console has a lot of buttons. Press one wrong button, and you can erase your whole set up. Fun.
And no, not one single button is labeled EASY. However, there is one button whose function is somewhat of a mystery:

Right next to the IN and INTER buttons, sits the mysterious ASS button. I don’t know what it does, and since I’m afraid to press it, I probably never will.
