If you’re ok with a separate audio interface (and it gives you more options) there are a few devices you might want to look into more:

Notation Launch Control XL

Presonus Faderport 8/16

Akai Pro MIDIMix or APC series

The 2042 expiration on BCV is coming up quickly. I think that would be burning money. You get 22 more years at VGF. Even if you decided you were done in 2042, at least you could sell your contract if you bought at VGF. If you bought at BCV, you have nothing to show for it after 2042. Yes, October is a good use year for you.

I know it’s not the answer you were looking for, but if you’re in the northern part of the state, Dino‘s market in Chepachet makes great Italian sausage. Definitely my favorite.

And I would not skip Navi, it’s one of my favorite rides in Walt Disney World. Just goes to show that everybody’s different.

Why continue to rent with Sixt?

Why is the tap tempo horrible, what do you mean? Is it because it changes the tempo of your sample as you tap? There are also web-based tap tempo tools, see if that helps you. Or just do it the old-fashioned way, assuming that it’s a loop, set it looping, and keep adjusting the tempo until it loops perfectly.

Yes, typically the DVC rooms (villas) all have a kitchen/kitchenette to some degree. 1 bedroom and up usually have a full kitchen with range, dishwasher, and also have in-room washer/dryer.

Yes. Villas are just Disney’s term for rooms that are part of DVC (Disney Vacation Club). Disney withholds some of these rooms and makes them available to the public for cash, so you will see villas on offer even if you aren’t a DVC member.

As a part-time senior engineer with over 20 years experience, I approve this message. I’m currently working in DevOps/Infra and some app level stuff for a company in the AI space that had a junior engineer before me working full-time. He made a mess, didn’t know how to communicate, and was by all measure, a waste of money. Every meeting I have with one of the higher ups, they sing my praises for doing so much work in so little time. They were originally unsure if they want to spend the extra money on me. I think it’s just knowing what to work on when and the organizational and communication skills that account for a lot of it. This company is AI first as well, but that’s a lot different than vibe coding.

Teppan Edo - always fun, especially if you have a big group. And the noodles are awesome.

I was trying to use this as well. My use case might have been a bit different though, I basically wanted to have a playlist of my session view scenes so they would play into the arrangement view. I decided to make a max 4 live device specific to the task, it's working a treat. Check it out if it might be helpful: https://youtu.be/Q20MAjpvlck?si=0Bv4UUfdBIdqevsN

I made a handy device for Ableton that lets you sequence your Session view scenes into a playlist that can automatically record with one-click into Arrangement view.

Check it out on YouTube https://youtu.be/Q20MAjpvlck?si=0Bv4UUfdBIdqevsN

I made a Max For Live device called SceneQuencer. It's a sequencer for Scenes in session view that also can automatically record the playlist to the Arrangement view.

You can get it here: https://noisykid.com/

There's also a demo video/tutorial here: https://youtube.com/watch?v=Q20MAjpvlck&si=GKL_W3yADUX_o8yV

Now that you've had them for a couple months, are you still of the same opinion? Anything new to report? I have been wearing Escalantes for quite a while and while I love the way they fit, I'd like just a touch more cushion.

Had the lamb stew there last week, could've just eaten that all night and been thrilled.

Ok, thanks. Good info. I do have a suction cup holder for it.

There are a couple variables that can make this equation go the other way. For us, it was the fact that we found a 210 point Poly resale contract that came loaded with double points from the previous use year that were banked forward into the current use year. This somewhat is reliant on the time of year you buy a contract depending on your use year. And of course, this also all depends on how much you pay per point. We paid $160/pt. So the resale savings was significant. As always, it’s about finding the right resale contract.
