so i got even more gear the other day...thus finishing up the aforementioned gift card. this time i got a sweet firewire interface to record into the computer, 4 tracks at once. 4 tracks isn't alot, but it's all i need and this is portable, going from computer to computer, and all with no latency. for those of you not familiar with that term in these circumstances, musicians know about and deal with a certain lag in speed when it comes to audio interfaces. a key press or something recorded going into usb may take a millisecond or two to make it to the computer, thus creating a source of frustration like no other.
this doesn't have that latency.
also it can output 7.1 surround sound if i so desire, which i do. i just have to get that many speakers now ;-)
in other related news the cocoon is getting a mild upgrade soon as i will be moving into the room previously known as the theatre room. i just need the space. but this is good. i'll be able to hook up my drum kit and my kawai xd-5 head unit as well. live drumming ftw.
i should go to bed. see you guys later...
