I also watched the documentary, I'm a huge fan of Miami Steve. If you liked The Soprano's , Lilyhammer carries on that tradition. Back in 2012/2014, Tom Morello was filling in for SVZ on The E Street Band tour while Steven was in Norway filming the series. OK, back to the Wurlitzer. Carry on. -
There's also a chance that live performances will become more and more popular, and in some cases, people would prefer to use physical instruments rather than virtual instruments but they would still use a computer as a brain. I do wish it was possible to buy a laptop that was built to "rock and roll" specs, like the old Panasonic ToughBooks, instead of being designed to be as thin and light as possible so worker bees could use them on airplanes. And, I'm still waiting for a left-handed laptop Seriously! I want the greatest number of ports on the right side of the computer, not the left, so I don't run into cables when moving the mouse. -

That’s what we all thought, and then, with this explosion of VST synths, a hardware synth renaissance starts. First high end analogues, then affordable analogues, then software engines in hardware form. And just when we thought Ableton and Logic had killed off workstations, a PC-less trend starts and there’s hardware sequencers again, Akai MPC gets 3.0 software with a linear audio MIDI sequencer and Tascam is investing in SDXC portastudios. 🤷♂️ -

There are people who use current gen MPC units as mastering tool. These people are mostly like the type of are able to stay focused on the MPC as their main toolbox and have successfully resisted the temptation of other DAWs. Every current gen MPC comes with MPC software which runs on a computer as a DAW, and integrates with the MPC, with the MPC serving as hardware controller for the DAW.

Yes! And also big, good knobs on a large panel. Well, in this case I'm almost sure there were problems with the video camera, because I noticed the issue while editing, much before uploading the video on YT. While I was shooting the video, I had set up the lights and the camera settings exactly like in previous videos, but the outcome was so bad that for the first time ever, I had to attempt corrections in the editing stage. It was only partially useful, and it added some artifacts to the image (you can notice that on my hands, for example). Btw, thanks for the suggestion, I'll give it a try. -

I always reduce video to 1024x720 before uploading to YT. It will still get compressed but not horribly grainy. -
