    However, the best trackball ever for me was the Microsoft one

    Yeah, I've still got one of them somewhere. I used it a lot and even took one to work. I had to keep a mouse plugged in so that if someone wanted to show me something on my PC they had something they could understand.

    Great for CAD stuff.

    But I did find it gave me a few problems, RSI wise, though I refused to accept it at the time.

    For quite a while now I returned to a mouse and I use a Logitech G500s.

    I don't find it that bad for what I do in which ever DAW I am using. I'm not doing major fader riding or anything like that. And most of the time I just use the scroll wheel for fader/knob adjustments.

    I use a Kensington Orbit Trackball

    Got one of these too, stuck in a box somewhere. Not used that one for ages... I think I just preferred the Microsoft one and, for a time, there wasn't another trackball like it. For some reason, when the MS one went off the market most were ball operated by the thumb and the buttons with fingers, whereas the MS one was t'other way round.

    Have to say that my original Octa has performed flawlessly, so I don't anticipate any problems syncing two of them.

    I purchased a second OCTA-CAPTURE at the start of the year.

    All is well and the only real issue is one of latency when recording audio from synths which are driven by MIDI and also synchronising external hardware synths and then, on top of that, using certain VST effects known for inducing latency. Apparently, according to more experienced people here, it's a know fact that Roland are not the best when it comes to round trip latency.

    That said, I am working with it and around it.

    I would imagine that if you are just tracking conventional instruments that you wouldn't experience any latency issues.

     

    A doddle to set up :)

  3. Try;

    Wholemeal bread, toasted.

    Clove of garlic, crushed and rubbed on the toast (garlic granules work okay if you CBA)

    Some proper butter, salted if you wish.

    Copious amounts of Grade A, Amber Maple Syrup.

    To finish off, dribble a few drops of Tabasco Sauce onto the toast. The spice goes quite well with the sweet. Well, it does for me anyway...
