It was foolish looking back on it. We were going on a date and I needed some cash really quick ,and I convinced myself that I could do with what I had, and I also lusted the moog grandmother. A perfect storm of gear lust and actual lust at just the right amount to make a stupid choice haha

This just came a few days ago. Caught it on ebay for super duper dirt cheap and bought it. I’m building out a C2Q WinXP machine and I’ll use it with that. What I really wanted was a Tascam FW-1082 interface/console because that one has motorized faders.

Ive not seen one of these in AGES. Initial driver support was poor (as were most USB audio devices “back in the day”) but I think Tascam finally got it right.
I used to sell gear at a music store back then and wanted one of these REALLY bad.
Dude, when I saw it so cheap ($21) I HAD to jump on it. I just looked it up on a whim and saw it, placed a bid thinking I’d be outbid quickly and the next morning I got the email saying I won.
I’m now almost done collecting the parts for the Xeon/C2Q WinXP machine. Just need a case at this point. It’s connected to a WinVista virtual machine at the moment but I’m not having the greatest luck setting it up there.
About to track some loops from the Digitakt to the Force, add some Microfreak loops and maybe some Live’s wavetable synth.
(Most likely not but Live needed to be in the picture)

Not much to look at without a dedicated studio space (though hopefully some upcoming renovations will fix that…), so I’ve just been setting things up to play with.
This is one iteration, though I’ve since separated the Octatrack and Nord Modular as their own pair, and added my Analog Four Mk2 with the Digitone and Machinedrum (though I mainly Use the MD by itself).
Working this way helps me get the most out of each piece of gear. I found when I had everything all together, I’d just had the MD doing a basic beat or the OT doing simple one-shot playback, and not really getting at what makes each instrument special.

Retro DAW is coming along. Just got the case for the machine the other day. The Mackie monitors came in on the same day. Waiting on an MPD16 and they keyboard and mouse for the PC. I’ll probably build the DAW machine tonight if I feel up to it, but it’ll be done by the end of the weekend for sure.
(edit) BTW, anyone else using Mackie CR3’s??? I know I’m not going to get much of a low end out of them, but how do they sound otherwise? I was about to grab a pair of Presonus Eris 3.5’s but saw these open box for almost half off.
Looks even better now. What’s that thing that looks like a drawing tablet to the right?
