very nice! Will there be pliers and hotglue or similar crazy-glue
available so that one can permanently fix the dials of the
soundcard in question? I'm planning to bring a UA-25.
For a UA25 you'd need a soldering iron to remove the pots
and replace them by fixed resistors :-)
The older UA5 (which I will bring) has an advantage in having
line inputs (on the back) that bypass the mic preamp. They have
a gain control, but it's just a passive pot which you can safely
turn to maximum. All this was removed on later models to make
place for MIDI connectors...
Ciao,
I'd like to bring my UA25 as well, but sadly I won't be coming this
year.
Instead of key signing parties we well have interface calibration
parties. :)
I wish you all a ton of fun at the LAC.
Regards,
