Yes ever since i came back from Y2K8 in Santa Cruz california i started
observing the staggering prices for excess baggage,damaged equipment(my
MO-FX came without a knob and screws once even though it was packed nicely
and carefully in one fo my bags which makes me rather think they messed
around with it to inspect a possible bomb) and complicated current
situation in airports.
Thats when i started considering the laptop route so i got a macbook and
dowloaded Mobius which ive been using ever since.Ive actually been quite
happy with it,but the recent problem with my firewire problems also made
me realize how fragile this things are and think what if that happened
while i wes traveling or at a gig.I still dont know what went wrong,if it
was a FW cable that burned my PCI card,RME,Presonus and macbook FW
port,then i d be terrified to do a tour with this,i didnt know that a FW
cable can cause such damage!this its been a nightmare lately and it has
costed me time and money.
I know now that nothing beats the flexibility of software,after combining
features of an EDP,LP1,Repeater,DL4 and every looper i liked and tried
into a single piece of software with a big screen and not having to carry
and mess around in the back of the rack with a flashlight it would
probably be hard to go back to that.On the other hand i miss the feeling
of simplicity an reliability from stomp boxes and even since i had the
black EDP it never really let me down.
But i am still willing to keep exploring this route and bulid more
expreience,i guess there is no other way around it,wether is SW or HW you
always need a backup;-)
