probably the same show - really well known show for them - a lot of the early stuff was super dark and demented with their stage shows.
theyve calmed down a lot in their older age haha - but still put on an amazing show - got to catch them twice within a year a few years back 
yeah - same show - song was addiction with the knife.
fuck i love that song too. lol

Ooooops:
Wanted a stand alone mixer, also wanted a multitrack USB interface that was known to work with Linux.
This thing seemed to tick all the boxes.
Now I just have to build enough sound sources to fill it up 
Cheers

Getting a dedicated music laptop is the next step, got to fill up the piggy bank again first.
Iāve been looking into Reaper vs Ardour lately - may I ask what made you pick Reaper?
I run Ubuntu on my desktop, but was looking at Ubuntu Studio - have you used it?
Any other Linux music making tips/tricks youād care to share?
Cheers
I have no experience with Ardour. I was mainly using Audacity before, and then switched to Reaper when I needed multitrack recording. Not in the last place for Reapers indefinite free trial. 
I run it all on a 9 year old HP elitebook with an SSD installed, and it really couldnāt work any smoother. I looked at the audio-specific linux distroās, but I ended up stick with what I know. Plain Ubuntu + JACK audio connection kit. Cheers,
A lot of texts suggest you need to get a real-time kernel first. I would like to know how important that really isā¦ have you bothered installing one? going to try reaper as well soon!
Iāll try not to derail this thread too much, but I havenāt touched the kernel. I didnāt experience any latancy problems, but I must add that only do recording and editing ie I donāt use any real-time effects processing or sends/returns

Real Time kernels havenāt been required for a long, long time now (for desktop). Ubuntu Studio distro has a latency-optimized kernel, and honestly anything at all will probably be good enough these days.

A bunch of stuff just arrived over the last couple of days.
Package from Thonk with a bunch of trimmers and their custom toppers.
Some Kosmo modules that I hadnāt picked up yetā¦
Some ST Modular and MI boards from Pusherman.
A ton of stuff from Mouser. Took about 3 weeks to get here after order it. I also picked up some vector rails (not in photo.)
Some micro controllers that I couldnāt find anywhere but at LCSC in China.
Some one off items from Digikey.
A bunch of parts from Tayda for various things.
A bunch of pots, trimmers, and a couple of ICās from Modular Addict. I guess I got lucky and they got it out just before they went dark again. 
After all of that I still forgot to pick up a few things. So now I have another Tayda, Mouser, and Thonk order to make.
