Well I have started the process of upgrading my #music #studio! First item on the list is the audio interface. Just got the new #Focusrite #Scarlett #18i20 4th gen today. Rather large upgrade from my nine year old 2nd gen unit with some cool features.

Unfortunately....I had one helluva time getting it set up. First, my #Mac never recognized it as being plugged into any USB port (USB 2, 3, or USB-C) or USB cable used. Second, the control #software intermittently recognized it but would fail downloading the new #firmware. Third, the unit mysteriously powered off during troubleshooting. It is *completely* dead.

I've hooked up the old one again but this was...disappointing. I will start the return process tomorrow morning.

#Bummer thought of the day:

What if AI slop and associated brain-drain causes all arts/sciences to devolve like #UIDesign has been devolving for the past 20 years?

Can you imagine what the surgery or civil engineering equivalent to #LiquidAss will be like?

Ugh.
