Resistance is futile 😈
Goddamit, I hope they don't port it to my old Lumia 950… 🤔
I'm not sure Microsoft still allows publishing software for mobile platform on MS Store, otherwise, I'd expect them to 😂

@newt
Indeed!
It doesn't even have optical outs 🤔
All the cards I had, including portable ones, had plenty of outputs — I don't know why they make so many myself — they can't even be used to connect external effect boxes if there are not enough inputs to feed them back in, but they always do!

@kaia I've seen people sending meme images to random strangers via AirDrop on public transportation 🤭

@newt
I'm sure, the card you posted has 8-10 outputs and 2-4 inputs on the back side too, but cabling doesn't have to be messy, it all usually goes behind the desk and if you arrange it well, it doesn't look that bad.
But yeah, MOTU cards indeed look rather utilitarian — but they are sturdy, can survive pretty harsh trips.

@newt
You won't fool me! I know you are 69 and you have original pressing of Bites on compact cassette in your collection somewhere 😏

For fuck's sake, did you guys learn about Digital Performer only just now?!🤪
It's old software, it pre-dates Live by at least a decade: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Performer

@eric @newt
There are lots of things that "work fine", as you probably know, there are USB video adapters even — doesn't make it a great choice for this type of devices.

What are you even getting at? Should I recommend Firewire cards to someone who had never used them before? No, I shouldn't, it was good, but Apple killed it. It would be same as telling someone to overthrow government when being asked a question about wireless networks — I have my opinions, but I'm not 13 to do that.

@eric
But I did note that I've never used Mk3 myself, Mk2 was a Firewire card: https://www.soundonsound.com/reviews/motu-828-mkii
I can only guess why they didn't use Thunderbolt for this one: Mk2 was an aging card already and Thunderbolt wasn't widely adopted yet, they decided to play it safe, I'm fairly certain if they revisit this card anytime soon they would go for it. USB did improve, but it always was and will be poor choice for audio 🤷

Lollypop looks nice and it supports album covers — just point it to where your music's at and it will arrange everything by artist/genre/album and will retrieve cover art and artist information from public sources — very easy to use.
But it's rather slow IMO, might become unresponsive if you're using an older machine.

I use cmus for music and it's very easy to use, but it might be… too much if you're not used to programs with text-only interface, and no cover art.

@newt
> so many sound cards
Sell everything and get MOTU, something like 828 — it'll have all your needs covered for years to come.
I have no experience with Mk3, but previous iterations were great cards.

Why the fuck does crates.io require JS and refuses to show any content at all without it?
Requiring a full browser with JS support just to view info on modules is even worse than Go giving you URLs in help messages — it was bad enough, but this… is simply unacceptable! 😩

@kravietz
Well, maybe it was all an act — and he's now drinking mojitos somewhere in South America, you never know with these "ex-" KGB.
Doesn't matter, support for him was definitely grassroots — in any case the real purpose was probably to send a signal to this crowd to tone down.
Prigozhin apparently was too dumb to "read the room" so more drastic measures were taken.
They already did that in the aftermath of the first act of this war — lots of former "heroes" just disappeared into nowhere.

@kravietz
Ironically, even he turned against his masters. In a way: he was too radical — they don't like this because even worldview built on wrong premises sooner or later starts making sense and things making sense is not the Russian way!
So he went to prison, I don't think I ever saw the news of him getting released 🤔 And his supporters originally started making noise, but soon it died out for good — quite typical, such "heroes" get used up and then get thrown away into oblivion.

I always found American beer weird-tasting, but I had no idea that's because it's animal-based! 😱
Ba-a-ased! 🤪

I think you have to type IDKFA into the vending machine for that 😈
