ghetto d.v.s

being broke as most musicians are i allways find myself
looking for ghetto solutions for silly problems.
here's 2 i recently found hope you guys can share yours.
a. asio4all lets you use all of your computers i\o as if they were
on a single sound card. this lets you use a laptops mic in
as an input for a turntable.
i haven't menaged to perfect this cuz' there's some digital distortion\ feedback i'm not sure about. i think it has something to do with
the output i used which was not grounded. but then again from where do
i take the ground of a laptop?
b. pinky-cut a patch i'm working on. simply put it takes
the volume of the incoming pinky signal and uses it to control cross fading.
this is practically useless for anything outside studio-beat-juggling with a limited inputs system (this is my way of integrating a one stereo input channel with midi and ms-pinky to create beats.) .

thanks for the asio4all link!

other free things I could add to this list would be the free HTC midi controller app:

similar to hexlers touch osc app (free for HTC as well)

http://hexler.net/software/touchosc-android

but Finger play has the customization options... I've mentioned these two applications a few times on the forums hope people make use of the freebies out there!

I can see asio4all being used loads

finished the pinky cut. it's not really hot
for beat mixing or scratching but if you're using a one turntable set up
and want to beatjuggle with a cross fader it's quite nice.
now i'll see if i can make some clips to compliment it for a live session thingy
using the launchpad to launch the same clips from diffrent locations
and build a routine like that.
