Saw this mentioned in the Superbooth thread but I think it may deserve it’s own. This thing looks pretty cool and could solve the issue of recording hardware into the DAW and dealing with Latency/Jitter…etc.
I do not have all the details but have to think that this would be a pretty awesome way to record drum machines, synths and samplers into one box while keeping the feel of the hardware intact and building an arrangement on the Track8.
Then you just pop the USB into your mac, drag the audio into the DAW and have everything all lined up and synced. Could be a great option for Octatrack users or old MPC users who are sick of fiddling wigh sync clocks.
Obviously could be a great DAWless arranger as well. There are not a ton of details on this yet but I emailed the company to see if they could share more. Curious if any of you got hands on it and how much this bad boy will cost.
For me, an Oxi sequencer going into this and it sending MIDI to my synths plus recording my drum parts on my MPC and samples on the OT would be a pretty epic studio experience.
It looks very nice and is something I might have been interested in before getting the Bluebox and Force, both of which can do the synced long audio recordings, that said I will keep an eye on this. A bit of a bummer it doesn’t have an audio input for each of the audio tracks, but maybe once some demos are made and more information is available that might not be an issue.
Anyway, mono-in and mono tracks is a bit of a deal-breaker. Oops, I misread the page and missed the second input.
I’d want more inputs on it too with multi channel recording. But this might be a viable backup plan if bluebox doesn’t get the feature I need. I do like the wealth of physical controls, though. Whoever this is for I am sure is going to be very happy with it.
Yeah it has a mono in and a stereo in. A bit of a bummer but at least you could track in a stereo out from an an MPC and a split kick from a separate out simultaneously I am guessing,
