I was chatting to my old mate Troy the other day, and he mooted the idea of rekindling our VeRy MeTaL project. I'm currently using a cheapish Zoom U44 interface to connect my Kemper to my PC using S/PDIF. It works really well, but the Zoom isn't really up to the job when it comes to recording. It doesn't even come close to my old TonePort UX2 if I'm honest, but the UX2 doesn't have S/PDIF (hence why I retired it). I thought that if I was going to get back into recording stuff, I might as well get an interface that's a bit more up to date/sophisticated. I've been looking at the Focusrite range as these seem popular among us hobbyists, and I've narrowed my research down to two potential purchases: Focusrite Scarlett 8i6 USB-C (UK £224.00) Focusrite Clarett 4 Pre USB (UK £459.00) Both have more than enough ins/outs etc for my needs, and crucially both have an S/PDIF in (to connect my Kemper) and an S/PDIF out (to connect my monitors). Bearing in mind most of the stuff I record is likely to feature too much distortion in A minor, is there any 'noticeable' benefit to me spending nearly twice the dosh for the Clarett over the Scarlett? Or is there something else out there in that sort of price range that might be worth my looking into? Thanks in advance for any wisdom imparted my way ?

Ah yes, the locally famous 'long-legged' Wibbleses ? It's pretty much phonetic as written mate, Fly Ford Flav - Ell. A mate of mine used to run the Flyford Arms, a proper village pub with some decent cask ales on draught. Also, let's not forget the wonderfully named Bell End - just up the road past Droitwich.

That's where I am - on the 'Welsh' side of the river ?

I would not.

Arrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ^^^^^^^^^^ You just ear-wormed me you bugger ?

And what a 'B' side ...

Quite simply the best ever cover song ...................... ever ?

Yay!! An honourable mention from Bill ?

Many thanks everyone ??

Sublime...

"LOSE" ... at nobody in particular ?

Harsh, but fair ? @craigb - I've delved quite deeply (as you might imagine) into etymology as it really interests me. For my sins, I had to study Latin at school and although I loathed it at the time, it certainly helps in getting a handle on the roots from which a lot of modern words derive. As per your examples, a lot of things happen to share the same words, but the derivation/source of that particular word may be completely different. Edit - spelling [now there's irony ?]
