i'm curious. you said you moved from ardour to reaps.
what aspects of reaps do you like over ardour ?

i was an early user of reaps , and have been a big fan. just curious.
yep harrison nice consoles…big lad stuff.

some of these mini pc prices are getting crazylow for what they are..
pretty soon if the trend continues pg could give one away with paks installed.

i saw a review of a new beelink today for a tad over 200 buks …but has a celeron.
but the m2 transfer read//write speeds were nice and way more than needed i'm sure to run bb and rb i'm sure.
pity it dont have at least a i3 12300 level processor. <<more i read bout such i'm impressed, particular the single thread passmark over 3k which is way better than most older music production pc's that many people are using..crikey i once did load of songs using powertraks on a blinkin athlon.

check these industrial pc's out..
