20 TL074 from Aliexpress, ordered them March 4, they were shipped March 10 according to the supplier (6 days processing time is kinda unusual). 10 days delivery is really fast. So I missed the āic-shortageā?

tell that to ogre in 1992ā¦ lol
I agree though.
Last Rites is the name of Paul Booths Tattoo studio - i know heās a Skinny Puppy fan, always wondered if there was a connection.
Have you ever read any of Skinny Puppyās lyrics?
They are often not complete sentences, most of it is poetry over industrial soundscapes.
Been a huge fan for a very long time.
The lyrics are often extreme metaphors or ogre has admitted to writing a jumble of words on a page, blindly circling a bunch, and making a song out of it. lol

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.
