New Gear

i treated myself to an early birthday present today: M-Audio Torq Connectiv. now i've got the hardware i need to hook my turntables up to my computer and utilize DVS's like Ms. Pinky and Deckadance. it came with Torq, which from the youtube videos i've seen, doesn't look half bad. i guess some people have had stability issues, but i trust M-Audio to work on this.

at this point i should be able to easily record vinyl to digital audio. i'm not sure if Torq has any Live plugins, but i'll be able to utilize it from Live. i plan on spending the Gorge Games gig learning the new software and learning where it fits in. i love the idea of not having to lug crates and crates of records for a gig like this where i'll need lots of music over many days. i'll still be playing vinyl, though.

not sure i mentioned the Gorge Games. this was a bit of luck/who you know. i got a gig being the Entertainment for the Athlete's Village. i'll be in charge of music and videos in the tent where the athlete's relax and hang out.
