2010-14 or so, the hardware music i was recording, i was using a windows XP PC with an RME Fireface 800. the rme was utter overkill for what i did, but it sounded lovely, latency was low. then i had to sell the fireface off. to my frustration, i found windows just can't fucking music without a hardware interface and ASIO full duplex etc etc. i'd largely moved to linux, so my win xp box went on a shelf. i cleaned it up and it's what i've been using to record my hardware mashes; just audacity via a soundblaster with gold-plated connectors. it sounds alright enough. it works as a tape recorder. but it is sad. i have years of cubase projects, songs i never finished. today, i am at a swapfest. to translate for the blokes, it's a boot sale. it's entirely focused on computers, electronics, ham radio. there's always that guy with an enigma machine selling t-shirts, sheesh. going on fifteen years now the swapfest takes over a parking garage; many floors of. i am many levels deep, diving through forgotten technology, when i find a pile of rack gear in a corner. usually, i don't buy pricey things here -- just, you know, a usb cable, some LEDs. but this thing, for whatever reason, catches my eye. someone else's too. some old fart grabs the booth's proprietor and effectively shoos me away from the stack of rack gear. how much, old fart wants to know? oh, fifty old fart is going to think about it. he's thinking about it via googling it on his phone. "how much for the tascam us-1800?" i ask. "fifty," he says. "how about forty?" i say. "ok." he lifts the stack of rack gear so i can extract my purchased unit. old fart is still googling on his googlefone. "he's still thinking," i quip to the proprietor as i make a quick exit now, at home, i find this thing is a match made in heaven. it does not support windows ten. winxp, however, works like a champ. i can open up my old projects again |

oh hey this thing can record audio too, i think i bought it because of that and it has midi also i seem to have bought a nektar pacer off of some guy i know and it has stuff i wasn't expecting like midi2cv and solenoid control (?) but the new synths i got all have usb ports and do they just act like a generic midi device if i plug them in? this poor old xp box is already out of usb ports though |
