2022 has been such a great year in terms of gear purchases. I think that the only thing that I've purchased is computer speakers. Ok, they weren't exactly cheap computer speakers.

Looks like the dock is f**ked. There's a known issue where a particular couple of caps on the internal PSU blow, and opening it up it definitely looks like they're deformed.
But although I have various boxes of caps I dont have any of the right ones to hand (680uF electrolytics) so Ive had to order some. So that's my audio hardware purchasing for this week.

Just snagged a great deal on an Elektron Digitone to complete my Digitakt-Syntakt-Digitone trifecta! Should be here later this week…

Back in the second half of 2000 I didn't have a working studio and hadn't made anything for years.
Now, I have five great synths and am just about to get a Furman surge protector -because its about time...
Not very exciting, but is this a good buy:

Is that seller legit? $2k Make Noise system for only $700?

Price has been 'updated' an hour ago, and reduced to $450. I've personally had to sell many things at a loss greater than that, when absolutely desperate...but still. I'd only consider this if I could see it, and pick it up directly. Definitely 'buyer beware' territory.

Really glad I scored this on release... there will be the first QU-Bit walk through tomorrow @9AM:

I got a pair of Suhr Discovery bbd delay pedals that I'm really excited about. I'd been looking for a stereo bbd delay, but everything I looked at was no longer available - they don't seem to be on the market for long. They're lovely things - sound amazing, very full-featured, and you can control all of the parameters via midi (rather than just the tempo). I have them as a stereo send from my DAW via a Radial stereo re-amp box, and I'll be able to automate everything from within Logic.

NIce, I've been looking for one of those for a while.

I think that I'll buy Mackie Onyx 24 this or next week. I need one to plug all synths and RD-9, which takes plenty of channels by itself (because the main output has this irritating high-pitch noise).
I would prefer to have USB Multitracking post-fader, but oh well... Most likely, I'll end up with raw sessions in DAW + full stereo mix on SD Card.

Researching to find the best 20+ channels mixer makes me feel sick. No mixer in a similar price range has post-EQ, post-fader multitrack recording through USB. Some even have only 16bit stereo USB output.

Soundcraft MTK22 was a second runner, but from demos I heard, it's adding this mushy, soft 'analogue' sound that is not good for electronic dance music. The last thing I need is for a mixer to soften kick drums.

I wish Tascam Model 24 would be at the same price. Then I would take that one instead.
