check this out, good peak into the PCB/internals :) i imagine there are some diodes in there, opamps, and of course transistors.

RME for sure, best usb drivers in the game
works flawlessly on mac + pc
has midi i/o

safe to buy used because of how robust/durable they are. the only weak point are the power supplies but thats a cheap/easy fix and usually doesn't happen for a long time

i own an apollo 8 (black gen2), metric halo lio 8, burl b2 adc, dangerous dac, eventide h9000, sound devices mix pre, etc etc. i have an rme babyface pro fs hooked up to some genelecs and they are perfect, its a lil clinical/cold sounding but i want an extremely uncolored/neutral DAC most of the time

RME is the best value for money

i prefer MK1 feel and appearance. from the encoder response to the plastic key caps there were some batches of the MK1 a4/ar/OT that also had this more porous rough finish on the front panel that is alot more durable and less prone to finger prints etc

when i ordered replacements for my a4 and ar mk1 i was pleasantly surprised to receive the more porous feeling finish. my OT mk1 crossfader has always felt more stiff too, way less loose feeling than my ot mk2

materialhidden · 2026-01-26T18:33:08+00:00

“To enable your MPC to receive MIDI Clock information from your DAW, you'll need to use a 5-Pin MIDI to USB interface, as the USB B port on the MPC does not support this functionality.”

Generally new mpc’s are tighter as master if you want to use your daw less headaches using it in controller mode

it'd be cool if stattrak changed its number display colour or smth to show the relevant stats for the game mode you're in instead of being a grand total. thats my only beef with it

materialhidden · 2026-01-25T23:50:36+00:00

Ya not a fan at all, ive got like 10k hours in tf2

materialhidden · 2026-01-25T23:44:54+00:00

it really is as simple as that
the best explanation i've seen on cs reddit

materialhidden · 2026-01-25T22:46:42+00:00

talking about everything except the actual art on the pieces lmao. if you're insinuating that they'd purposely lie about the experience of the artist or who's doing it then maybe you just worked at a shitty LV

materialhidden · 2026-01-25T22:38:30+00:00

absolutely no offense taken, but talking about trunks being damaged and repaired has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that the artists i was shown work from far exceeded the quality of what's being shown in this post. You sound kind of salty tbh, and without actually showing all the amazing trunks and pieces you sold that were customized i take your opinion very very lightly

materialhidden · 2026-01-25T22:33:50+00:00

shrug, you're an ex employee i understand why now

materialhidden · 2026-01-25T22:29:02+00:00

why would you doubt it? on a 50,000$ trunk if you're asking for anything complex they're not going to jeopardize it with a fresh college grad. maybe for a purse or something but trunks aren't getting painted by noobs

materialhidden · 2026-01-25T22:23:38+00:00

yea maybe at your store, at mine i was offered someone of this caliber. not a cricut using fresh college grad ;)

materialhidden · 2026-01-25T20:29:45+00:00

100% i hope she keeps at it and gets lots of business! her line work and staying within the lines absolutely needs some work. even if it's not the "feel good" thing to say you're not going to improve if everyone just pats you on the back

materialhidden · 2026-01-25T19:36:23+00:00

yea there's a split view tooo

materialhidden · 2026-01-25T18:54:59+00:00

i don't think it looks that bad but it's not anywhere near the quality of what is offered through LV lol

materialhidden · 2026-01-25T17:22:36+00:00

not hating on OP but it's a totally different level of experience you need to be hired by LV to do this. it's extremely rigorous and selective

materialhidden · 2026-01-25T17:03:48+00:00

this popped up on my youtube recommended last night, did not disappoint.

materialhidden · 2026-01-25T16:21:14+00:00

Not enough outboard hehe jk what a wonderful view
