[02:03] <mechpilotace> how was the meeting tonight, sorry I missed it had to get my shots
[02:23] <cmaloney> It was good.
[02:24] <cmaloney> Which shots did you get
[02:24] <cmaloney> ?
[02:31] <mechpilotace> Got my second round of the covid vaccine
[02:42] <mechpilotace> but its an ordeal took a while
[02:47] <jrwren> FANCY!
[02:52] <mechpilotace> i guess lol
[02:52] <greg-g> Congrats
[02:53] <mechpilotace> anybody have issues with video playback on intel graphics?
[02:54] <mechpilotace> it's been particularly bad in firefox, even when I forced exceleration on all the time
[14:09] <mechpilotace> anybody have any good USB keyboard recommendations? I have an old Akai MPK mini from like 10 years ago that has been through several moves and has some busted keys and ive never been happy with how the drum pad tracks
[14:10] <mechpilotace> I'd like the small 25 key + drum pad combo though
[14:10] <jrwren> so... buy KB you mean MIDI trigger. not a USB text input device.
[14:10] <jrwren> s/buy/by/ sorry
[14:11] <cmaloney> Hah, I have the same one
[14:11] <cmaloney> got it at 2nd and Charles
[14:11] <mechpilotace> jrwren: yes
[14:11] <cmaloney> I just recently picked up an Arturia Minilab: https://www.arturia.com/products/hybrid-synths/minilab/overview
[14:11] <cmaloney> (or rather, got for Christmas)
[14:11] <mechpilotace> cmaloney: haha cool we are twins then.
[14:12] <cmaloney> Better feel than the Akai and way more hefty
[14:12] <cmaloney> not sure about the drum pads, but they seemed solid enough
[14:12] <mechpilotace> yah i really just want the akai but nicer, i love the layout and features its just on its last leg
[14:13] <cmaloney> Yeah, and I like the Arpeggiator on the Akai
[14:13] <mechpilotace> yah this arturia looks pretty cool
[14:13] <mechpilotace> you ever heard of the brand "Nektar"

[14:14] <mechpilotace> man that link sucks
[14:14] <cmaloney> Sorry, this is the one that I have: https://www.arturia.com/products/hybrid-synths/minilab-mkii/overview
[14:14] <cmaloney> I've heard of them in passing but haven't checked them out
[14:14] <mechpilotace> https://bit.ly/2YMP6Co
[14:15] <mechpilotace> it looks about right, just never seen or heard of em before
[14:17] <mechpilotace> I just ordered a fender super sonic the other day. Can't wait to try it out, pretty cool head unit for fender 60 watt has fx loop, and 2 channels
[14:21] <jrwren> what makes it a hybrid?
[14:28] <mechpilotace> jrwren: I think thats just what they call their midi controllers, they bundle their software with them as well so may refer to that as well but really just marketing
[14:28] <jrwren> ah cool.
[14:28] <jrwren> i have something that I haven't used in years. I should really plug it in and play with it soon.
[14:28] <mechpilotace> you should
[18:44] <mechpilotace> so looking into it more, looks like this is exactly what Im looking for. https://www.guitarcenter.com/M-Audio/Oxygen-Pro-25-25-Key-1500000333139.gc
