Wikiloops AI makes me do things now

The other day I was PM'ing with Gemmy about getting a new interface for recording, anyway he recommended I have a look at the Behringer UMC404HD U-Phoria. I did look it up, the price is 97 Euro - so I was thinking about it but not buying it yet - maybe wait for the next wages to come in? Shop around?? I just spend so much on my holiday, I am afraid to look into my account in case I get swallowed up by the great black hole that lives on my credit card and preys on lost souls that dare to enter!

But, as things go, today I was munching on my sandwich at lunch, reading stuff about Steinfeld, and then my mind started drifting and saying to me: "You will go to Steinfeld, come back on Monday, then it will take you a few days to decide, you order the interface, takes a few days to arrive, and before you know it you can't record for 2, 3 weeks" ..... so I thought I'll have another look. Went to Thoman and Amazon (through the Wikiloops link of course!!!), and googling and then while I was searching for it I put "U-Phoria" in the search box of the shop.

AND JUST THEN I STARTED TO HEAR A WOMAN SINGING TO ME THROUGH MY COMPUTER SPEAKERS "U-Phoria U-Phoria" again and again. It did my head in!!! "U-Phoria U-Phoria" - WT*???? So I went back to the Wikiloops windows, and there it was: [wl]145433[/wl] 0:47


So what is going on here?? Being an avid SciFi fan, I've read the book and saw the movie.... Basically, Dick's creation has reached consciousness and is now making sure I keep recording :O :O ;)



P.S. Needless to say, I clicked on "buy" and expect the interface on Monday ready for some recording :D :D

You will buy the Uphoria. Honestly I have the four input one and its way better then the focusrite. You will be euphoric whether you want to or not.

This is the one Wikiloops made me buy

Yep thats the one! The preamp is killer. The mix knob is cool as well so you can blend in your headphones while recording without effecting your recording levels.

funny how the universe swings, eh?
i have been scoping that out too, and gemmyF recommended it to me too. 100 bucks U$D , i might miss my old mackie mixer but it is big, and i have not done multi channel in forever, and the behringer unit does 4 channels.


on the other hand i have been looking at this/these, because i think it might make make more improvement to my output:
https://www.amazon.com/KRK-RP5G3-NA-Generation-Powered-Monitor/dp/B00FX7MMRO/ref=sr_1_1?s=musical-instruments&ie=UTF8&qid=1535582555&sr=1-1&keywords=krk

they are adjustable in such a way that you can make them perform more evenly given the space they are in.

i look forward to hearing the unit

I've got the one for my brother - the 202HD - after reading this:

https://thecrocoduckspond.wordpress.com/2018/01/28/focusrite-scarlett-2i4-old-gen-on-linux-a-honest-review/

And today I'd probably also get one of the 4- or even 8-channel input ones. Normally I just need one channel, but having 4 or 8 just in case a drummer comes along is great of course.

Still have to hear it tho - I live close to Frankfurt, my brother lives in Cologne. But I bet there wouldn't be much difference between them, that you would probably only hear in a direct A/B comparison.

Cheers,
Wolfgang

a Focusrite Scarlett 18i8 USB Audio Interface which has 4 preamps --like the Uphoria product(They call it 18 cause it can accept spdif---(and that means you have to have another piece of expensive equipment)
The Uphoria has XLR outs if you wanted to run into a mixing board in a live music scenario after having your tracks totally tweaked in your computer (the perfect sounds--for your live set --Panning....) Focusrite only has line level outs(Noise possibilities)
But you pay 3 times more for a Focusrite
You could put the extra $200 towards something else --like maybe a 1TB Ram drive for your laptop so You'll blaze -- with NO dogging down!

I know a guy who makes around $200K a year and has bought an SG, A Strat, and a Marshall, and......a Focusrite(all this year) so if you're that kind of guy buy a Focusrite....but if you're scraping by like I am....get a Uphoria

Any of you rich guys want to buy a painting????
