It is "Plan B" in Suffern, NY. I have never been there. Our plan was to
check it out after the AES show last year, except that... events changed.

I think he has the right idea. Club owners are the only people that make
money off of live music...

I have (amongst several others - several MOTU, Aphex, that old Delta=20

In fact, unlike in the 'old days' anything USB-based seems a doodle=20

Good to know, geoff... very helpful. One thing I enjoyed at the session on=
Monday night (which went very well) was just how rock solid and trouble-fr=

or a quick USB laptop recording, I have to wrestle with all kinds of settin=
gs and recording errors until I get the buffer settings and routing correct=
. The 1010... turn on the computer and just use it. I love the physical ea=

total lack of latency behind the 1010. I'm hoping that, whatever I end up g=
etting, I can enjoy the best of both worlds.... and better mic pres. Thanks=
for the reply.
