After years of trying to convince myself I don't need it, I pulled the trigger on @Ableton's Push 3.
I've been a fan of grid controllers for years. I have both @WeAreNovation Launchpad X and MK3. I felt like buying Push would just make me fall into the paradigm of controllerism set by Ableton.
I wanted to build something that felt like an instrument, so I wired together a bunch of MIDI controllers with custom control surface scripts and ClyphX mods.
It worked—I ended up releasing 3 albums, learning a ton, and becoming an infinitely better engineer. The system is good for what it is, but hard to improve.
My recent venture into Arch Linux (of Omarchy) and getting a new box from @FrameworkPuter made me realize how nice it is not to be the person who has to build everything. Sometimes it's nice when complicated things just work.
I also don't have to stop using the Launchpad or @DJTechTools Twister. Nor do I have to stop using a Mac, iPhone, or the rest of Apple's ecosystem just to use Omarchy.
So much great tech. Such a great time to be alive.

Are you going to clip on your own ferrites? The ones from DJTechTools come with dual ferrites, molded on, but I don't know what mix the ferrite is. You could also run the radio and computer in a Faraday cage. My freight container _is_not_one_ because of the wood floor. ...
MESSAGE!!
I've left some nice @DJTechTools chroma cables at many Bay venues and they always go missing, like we don't know who DJ's at these venues and have brought blue/oranges USB cables. LOL
@DJTechTools GUYS HOW DID MY MIDIFIGHTER GO FROM BEING A BEAUTIFUL WHITE TO BROWN AND STICKY 😭 I’ve had it for a while but like damn what can I do to fix this??
Happy New Gear! My first acquisition of 2024! Just bought a @DJTechTools MIDI Fighter Twister USB knob controller to tweak the VST plugins in my DAW!

Felt like a good morning to clean some old gear 😝 @DJTechTools used to have all my attention and get all my coins back in the early 00’s.
Now I need to find someone to frame this special relic 🤔 #DJTxVESTAX
