I had an old htc vertical folder with a leather cased keyboard. If I had a version of that with modern hardware, that would be my jam.

Checks notes, that’s not what happened, no. Tons of phones had/have keyboards.

Cool, thanks! Reaper seems pretty capable, but I’ve heard good things about bitwig.

I’m coming from protools, and it’s gonna take some adjustments, so I’m trying to figure out what’s worth putting time into.

Moment moment.

I’m messing with reaper right now and just got my daisychained firewire interface working. What sold you on bitwig? I’m interested, but I haven’t looked into it yet.

Hell ya. I’m resurrecting a netbook right this moment. Pretty stoked about it.

All is not consolidated, though. “All” is your local feed plus what is subscribed to by users on your instance. It isn’t everything by default, afaik.

You just don’t know what it is beyond memes.

That is not a reasonable assertion at all. AI is being used in more ways than what is being described in your rage-bait media diet. “AI is pointless and it sucks” is a blatantly ignorant statement.
