Ok here's mine. I wanted to make an actual nice recording of this but I'm out of time, so here instead is a charming phone demo.

Just cranked this out this morning. Bit rough and I'm not sure about the vocal 'verb, but I'll tweak the mix later...

Ha ha ha nice.

Ok, fair, I'll give it a shot. Haven't written anything new in forever so this is welcome.

Is this in reference to...uh...anyone in particular?

I do think these are gone now, you can’t even search for the item on monoprice anymore. They seem to be sold out everywhere except Amazon which has them at $88 apiece. Guess I missed the boat on these. There are a number of complaints in the amazon reviews about QC problems & noisy electronics, did...

Oh that is excellent. Thanks!!!

Sorry, fixed the link! (I hope)

Wonder if anyone here has seen session pics from the first Chess Records studio? I gather they moved to 2120 S Michigan Ave in 1957, but I've been listening to this a bunch and it's from '54, so I guess it was recorded at the S. Cottage Grove studio and I can't find a lot of info about it: https://y...

From what I understand, drivers and processing power in your computer have greater impact on latency than the USB connection. A lot of folks really like that ultralight mk5, seems like a great option for staying portable but having the ability to expand I/O when you need it. That is good to know (I...

Thanks, Dave. That clarifies a lot for me, actually - I didn't realize that USB-C didn't imply a faster transfer speed than USB2, so...that's one less thing to worry about. On PC MOTU is solid, RME might be a little better but the cost reflects it. USB2 is fine for audio. Having good drivers is key,...

if you haven't already, also check though the Tape Op gear reviews -- https://tapeop.com/reviews/gear/ there have been quite a few interfaces reviewed in the last year or so. Yes indeed, that's where I read about the Cranborne in fact. There are so many, though, I was interested in hearing about pe...

*reminiscing* Years ago, prior to the MOTU, I had a PCI card interface installed in a desktop machine. It had a little breakout cable with 4 line TRS inputs and outputs. I used it with the same external pre's I used with my rackmount 4 track, and I felt like stuff that I recorded with it was maybe a...

Oh interesting -- thanks, though I should have mentioned, I'm on a windows laptop now (rather than Mac), but I wonder if I could kludge something together. regardless of the fact that they had (in years past) had some horrible tech-support habits, I can't say enough good stuff about my Antelope Orio...

I did look at the 1248...it looks great but my current laptop has USB-C rather than Thunderbolt. I think most of the MOTU stuff is Thunderbolt now? Which might be a problem.

I've used the same MOTU 8Pre since 2009. It still (mostly) works, but it's firewire-only...back when I bought it I didn't anticipate that firewire was going away, and my ancient macbook with the firewire port sometimes wants to boot up, sometimes doesn't, and is generally acting like it's contemplat...
