    ee got me new PCIe to PCI converter today in Melbs and it’s being brought down on Sat. For an old but exxy soundcard for the studio.

    Better fuckin’ work (interwebbles says yes so we’re hoping). Have to re-do an entire DAW (OS and plugs) which I’m not looking forward to (it takes forever). Been about six months since making choons and keen to jump back in over the break.

    Nevertheless surprised an obscure part like that only took 2 days to arrive this close to xmas.

        Those are are mostly outsourced. Do not expect anything beyond a fling in your general direction and a notice you signed something you didn’t.

        Tullamarine is running sixty thousand daily and that’s light.

          How do you know all this if I might ask? Things like how many parcels facilities are processing, which ones are doing 24/7, etc? Do they publiciae it on Facebook or something? Or do you know someone who works for them?

          Just curious cause I wanna be in the loop too!

            Heh yeah well old. Seriously stable card / drivers though. Also feel naked w/o Digicheck (specifically the spectrum analyser) so I’m determined to try and resuscitate it lol.

                I’ve never actually used the spdif (or ADAT). pretty much only use this pre. Colour comes from plugins.

                It’s a very simple setup all mainly ITB heh.

                In terms of how it works it’s like any other sound card it’s just no new MBs have legacy PCI.

      I ordered a mini HDMI (F U raspi for making me buy these stupid connectors) to full size HDMI adapter on the 17th at 12:52am. Posted 7am the 17th. Arrived today by 2pm

      My change of address label from Vic roads was apparently posted last Thursday evening, still not here 🤷‍♂️

      Hope the sound card is still good!
