That's fine with me. On the 2000xl I'd just gotten so used to the letter'd pads. I was actually proud of how fast I was on them. :smoker:

I hate naming files without a keyboard.

The only thing I can think of is software reports lower latency when using higher sample rates.


Yeah, a whole millisecond from 44K to 192K is gonna make such a huge difference! :roll: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Gaining a damn millisecond of latency is not worth choking the **** out of your computer faster!

:lol:
Very true. But I thought I would note it anyway since we have folks making the Ren's competition out to be standalone AD/DA converters and DAWs.

I will.
I talked to one of Akai's programmers about it. I already have a plan for those lights.

I mean to the point where you're going to be thinking about the lights. When I use Maschine, I see the lights and know they are there and they help, but I'm not thinking about the actual lights. They are just there and I'm using them, I'm just not conciously/directly thinking about the pad lights. Know what I'm saying?

your advice is lightly taken.
