TB kept it closer than I expected. Let’s Go Buffalo! 🙌🏻🏈 dB

Costly missed FG by Green Bay. 😬 dB

Tighter game in SF than many expected. GB continuing to play inspired football against yet another of the most talented teams in the league. dB

I’ve been happy tracking and mixing to 44.1k 16 bit for the most part - be that in the box or capturing external audio - for my own stuff, since most of the folks who hear it will listen to mp3s. If I’m doing a project for someone else, I leave it up to them. dB

Wrong legs for an A-100. A-102, maybe? 🤔 dB

Ouch. 😬 Gonna be some out of work coaches very soon, I’m thinking. dB

C’mooooooon, EAGLES! 🦅 dB

PIT is hanging in there. 21-17… dB

Another potential blowout in the making in Buffalo. Sorry, brother Mike… dB

Dan Quinn maybe as well. His vaunted defense was clearly not ready for Da Pack. I think a decent argument could also be made that brother Dak has some post-season issues. 🤔 dB

How ‘bout them Cowboys? dB

This…is…awesome. 🥰🙌🏻😎🎊🍻 Brother Geoff has to pretty happy right about now. dB

Go Packers!!! 😎 dB

I am getting SO tired of all the damn channels required to watch football these days. dB

PIT/BUF moved to 1:30 pm Monday. I read an article yesterday that the Bills were calling for fans to come help them shovel the stadium and parking lot for $20/hr - bring yer own shovel, mind you 🤔 - from Saturday night through kickoff Sunday. I think this is a better call; plus, that makes it two games a day for the next three days. I’m digging it. REALLY glad not to be a Chiefs fan (or, even worse - Dolphins fan!! 😳) with tix for this evening’s temp record breaker. 🥶 dB

Man, I hope you’re right about that. dB

Agreed. Maybe he was just tired of the gig…? dB

Not too happy with Sirianni’s decision to play AJ Brown today… …but, then again, it’d be surprising if the Eagles make it past the next round. 🤔😬 dB

I will be at the show this year, covering it for MPN. It’ll be my first NAMM show not working for a manufacturer, so I’m looking forward to that. I think there are more than a few folks who have been holding on to the idea that having Winter NAMM return to its customary January slot will help boost the flagging attendance we’ve seen in the past few years. I’m not sure they’re correct about that. We’ll find out soon enough. If anyone has an instrument or other product they’d like for me to check out, please feel free to post it here. I’ll do my best to get to as much as I can. dB

I don’t know if any of y’all have tried to watch Rebel Moon, but I couldn’t make it past the fifteen minute mark. Awful acting, dreadful dialog, boring derivative storyline, crap cinematography…definitely not my cuppa tea. dB

"Most"? Can you quantify that? Give examples of which manufacturers to which you refer, please. My JP-X uses an internal power supply, that's a pretty new keyboard...so does my Kurzweil Forte, and my Arturia MatrixBrute - also fairly new instruments. Here's a question - why did synth pioneer/electrical engineer Dave Smith go from using a wall wart for his first few DSI instruments like the Poly Evolver to using IEC connectors on later instruments such as the Pro2? From my experience working with keyboard manufacturers, the main reason they use external power supplies/wall warts is to same development/production costs and time to market. I believe that internal power supplies mean the instrument itself has to pass UL and CE certification, whereas wall warts typically already have passed that certification for the instrument using it. Then you're lucky. Please do allow for the possibility that those of us who are grumbling about wall warts have actually had these experiences. Also, as mentioned in a post above, those flimsy cables on the wall warts do not exactly inspire confidence in the robustness of the product. The crap wall wart that came with the Hydrasynth always made me nervous when I had one, and was honestly one of the reasons I sold it. How do you know how old the folks posting on this thread are? 🤔 I don't even know what that means, brother. What year was that? Again, please give examples. Way more of the 80s era instruments I own/have owned have had IEC connectors. The last one I bought with a hardwired power cord is my MiniMoog. It seems to make you feel like your arguments are stronger if you belittle those with whom you do not agree. I'm guessing it may not be having the effect you want... Hi. My name's Dave. I founded the Keyboard Corner in the year 2000, so I feel like I kinda don't need to be reminded where we are. As far as I can tell, beside the lower production cost/time to market thing, the ease of replacing them is pretty much the only advantage they bring. Me, too. 👍 dB

What does when you were born have to do with preferring internal power supplies over wall warts? 🤔 dB

I had a bit of an ordeal trying to get my JP-X to work with USB. It required a driver install with an unusually detailed set of instructions on how to do the procedure (which included a computer restart), but installing said driver made my iMac not wanna boot. Seriously… I tried several times to get it to work. In the end, I gave up and just used the MIDI jacks. dB

I was unclear - I used the keyboard version (K1000 SE). Sorry… dB

I used that for years. 😎👍🏻 dB
