About four years ago I was going home after work when I got behind a “handyman” truck. He must not have been a very good handyman because the ladder that was attached to his truck wasn’t tied very good and fell off. I had a choice to make, run off the road into a creek, drive into oncoming traffic or run over the ladder. I didn’t have enough room to stop but I slammed on the brakes and ran over the ladder at about 25mph. After cussing for and while I pulled over to see the damage and to my surprise there was no damage…. or so I thought.

I decided the site needed a makeover. I felt a cleaner look was needed. Do you like it?

It’s become obvious to me that I need a soundcard for my laptop. Seeing as how I can’t use one of the many quality soundcards I have in my desktop pc’s, they’re pci, it looks like I need to start looking for a usb soundcard. I’ve already done some searching and have narrowed my search down to two possible choices, the PreSonus AudioBox USB and the Edirol UA-4FX USB. Both interfaces are usb 1.1. I know that usb 2.0 is “better” but for the amount of inputs and outputs I need it would be overkill. Besides if I need to do a large multitrack project I’ve got hardware recorders for that. Anyways, I need some advise on which of these would be better for me. I work with Windows Vista and Ubuntu, mainly Windows for audio stuff though. My needs are as follows, ability to track my guitar and bass seperately as well as the ability to hook up a stereo feed from my synth. I’m broke as shit so I’d like to only have to make one purchase. Oh yeah, I definately need midi hookups which both of these interfaces have.

I decided to get the edirol. I got it overnighted and it’s exactly what I needed. It works great on vista also. Here’s the test recording I did with it last night.

What a piece of shit this was. Almost porn, almost a national geographic special. I’m a huge fan of Bad Movies but Oh my, What a piece of shit this was.
