I bought a Yamaha mt8x (analog 8-track recorder) back in '95 for about the same price that I could have gotten a digital recorder (roland vs880 etc) for in '96.

In fact I had it on layaway and paid it off after relaizing I could have gotten the vs880.

Used it for about 20hrs of studio work and several times as a performance piece but it has basically sat in the studio "bone yard" since '98.

i would say my desk i got a desk for £40 i thought it would get all my stuff on. but then i bought all this other shit and have no space left for my mouse :lol: i might get a tracker ball because i dont think you need to drag them, but i might not have room for it. so i think it is new desk time.

+1..."the asio sample rate isn't"......<shut the fuck up your absolute piece of shit.

If you look on the M Audio forums there are hundreds of posts of problems with M Audio tech's giving hundreds of solutions that don't work instead of just making a product that works. I've had my laptop screen go blue with "a serious error" has occured. If it burns my comp I will go banana's. Piece of absolute shite. grrrr

I bought Reason 4 expecting it to be amazing. And while Thore and Redrum are deece, rewiring into Cubase rapes my patience and sound quality, so I barely ever touch it if ever.

I have a Kaoss Pad 3 thinking I'd want to do realtime effects, but now I use it as a talkbalk for vocalist in the booth.

Also Audio Damage Kombinat is absolutely utterly useless to me, granted it was cheap but I don't use it for shit as I think freeware distortion plugs sound loads better. Those are my 3 I guess.
Yoyoyo.
