karaoke. you hate it so much, you won't even spell it correctly!

You caught me before I fixed it, but yeah, about that much. It's not people having fun singing that I hate, it's the subculture. I imagine that it might be more fun in Japan.

i don't think it's really been much of a thing here since the 80s?
im not saying it's disappeared, but back then, every pub or party you sent to, they had it!!
not something ive ever partaken in personally, im quite a shy person in person, so couldn't get up in front of people and butcher a song i probably hate (don't see them having many of my preferred songs? maybe i dunno,)
but yeah, im not a fan.

Just imagine this is sold in a jewellery, and suddenly it makes sense… Imagine your wife is presenting that to you on your wedding anniversary. You certainly want to marry her again…
It looks like its made from platin and for sure its assembled by a master jeweller and not in china…
There is also a practical use case. It belongs into your emergency adapter kit. In case you run out of ins or outs in your normal interface/mixer… You pray that you will never need it, but if you do, you would cry out the audio engineers equivalent for “My kingdom for a horse”…

Yeah, I don’t know… The missus proposed with a Les Paul that I’ve always wanted (and I proposed to her first with a traditional diamond ring).

Just seeing some of the complaints and returns from the Elektron forum I don’t know that these will withstand the test of time, but who knows?

But if we’re comparing gear to jewelry… there’s lots of gear that keeps working long after we leave this planet, and some of it will be worth more than jewelry too.

What's interesting is that there isn't the usual 'rush' for all the influencers to post videos on YT saying how great the new toy from TE is....I guess we will have to wait to find out what people really think, but even the greatest (paid) video have trouble justifying the price to the average user. Even those of us who bought things like the OP-1 and were called hipsters back in the day have trouble with this one!

They say that admitting it is the first step to recovery. Hipster recovery. You made a brave step today...tomorrow you might be able to consider cutting off the man-bun...the day after discover that socks with sandals was never a good idea.

I wish I had enough hair left for a man-bun!

I have that much clogging the drain, every time I shower. ... (true story)

The Leica of audio.

Yeah, more like a Wanna-Like-a. I haven't commented or followed this 'thing' at all, as it is too obscenely ridiculous to spend ANY energy on, but... if I were to interject something into any discussion it would be something to the effect of:

"if you are going to spend "professional level" money on a portable multi-track recorder, then get a (f**king) 'professional level' multi-track recorder, and learn how to use it!" like this one:

But where’s the built-in synthesizer?

Oooh noes... I neglected the miniaturization 'value added' dynamics including iOS integration ... oh noes, I am sooo un-hip.
