Me either, and that was my point: the interface has to rock.  It  
doesn't actually matter if its a computer or two bits of wire glued  
together, if you touch the damn thing, it should rock.

But no: its all just about the sound.  The world has 'gone edit',  
anyway.  Nobody cares if the knobs are crap or not.

Yup.  I think so too.  Big fat DSP's, one little program.

I had an awesome jam session tonight with nitrotracker and sh101.  It  
was all we needed to do 3 long sessions, and we had a blast. I'm  
gonna listen to the scratch recordings all week.  Meanwhile, bigger  
stuff gathers dust around me.
