Gear and Games

This is kind of an update to the previous post.

First, the Gorge Games fell through. That was kind of a shame as it was going to be a great venue for putting some new gear to the test, and it sounded like a hoot. But my friends organizing the village had to pull out so it wasn't to be.

A little more on the Conectiv: it's got this built-in gain limitation that is sort of a bummer. It's part of the design but it makes playing regular vinyl alongside Torq MP3's a bit of a hassle. There's lots of info. posted on this on the m-audio forums. One of the main applications at the start for this piece of hardware is to use it to rip my vinyl to MP3 in the first place. It makes it so i have to add a bit of gain when I'm chopping up the audio in Logic, but now that I have it down it's not a big deal.
