I looked at the new Yamaha MGX series digital mixers. Not that I'm in need of an audio mixing console (I'm not these days), but they're new, and I wanted to see what they're all about. Looked pretty good, until "oh yeah, by the way, it has a 4.3 inch touch screen."
Yep, that's how you make me instantly uninterested in your product.

I have decided that if I ever can set up my studio again, I will just mix everything in the box, and then get a decent analog mixer for use with analog synths and outboard effects... but who am I kidding? That probably won't actually happen before I lose what hearing I still have left. Fun to think about though.

I really miss using a MacBook Air. My 2020 MacBook Air is not able to upgrade to Tahoe. I feel like it is really showing its age. I am interested as to how much better voiceover would perform on a new MacBook using the latest operating system. I usually mostly use it for work. I use the Messages app a lot because I text members of my team. I find that Google Chrome actually works better than Safari for most things that I do on the MacBook. Right now, I am bringing my windows computer back-and-forth from home to work. It works, but I donā€™t like the form factor of my PC as much as I did the MacBook Air. I donā€™t have the money to spend on it right now, but I am wondering if I should start saving and see whatā€™s out there by the time the money comes in. If I had a nice new computer, and if VoiceOver was in better shape, I would love using the Mack.
