I've decided to hold back on the written evaluations, and finish up my demos. I've used most of the software, and you can see my status with my checklist I made in googledocs.

Basically, its a list of all the software I plan to use (much different than the rough draft list I put up, with a coded status for each one.

CLAMP: audio interface up and running

Hello all!

Its been a few weeks since my last post, and I apologize for my lag. Fieldwork has left me with not a lot of time for little updates like these. Its been alot of experimenting, outlining, screenshotting, praying, and writing on my part. But its (mostly) been a blast to do!

In under 36 hours I have to finish a rough draft of my research paper, so things can be a little crunched for time. It looks like a majority will be CLAMP condensed into one paper, but we'll see what happens.

I write this post to praise my reader, Mr. Adam Carpenter, who shares my love of making music and seems to genuinely support my efforts for this project. He has lent me his Tascam US-122 firmware audio/midi interface. You may be saying "Paul, you have the US-144 audio interface, why would you want something below?" In a word: compatibility. Linux drivers don't support the US-144 well enough yet, and they support the US-122 beautifully. Today I got it hooked up and running in under half an hour. The US-122 will make it possible for me to hook up things like quality microphones and ukuleles and basses to my computer. This is a very exciting moment for me, and its all possible thanks to my man Mr.Carpenter!

Don't worry Mr.C, I'll be taking good care of it.

-Paul

PS: here is the article I used to get the interface working:

CLAMP: working rubric

Tonight I worked on around 7 CASEs, or CLAMP Audio Software Evaluation's. These basically consist of a rubric and a written review of each one.

I posted this for two reasons:

1. To exclaim that my rubric is done! and that the guidelines (WIP) can be viewed here

2. To post a sample, which is here

Reviews definitely will take longer to do, and will give the audience a much better sense of what the software is about. I will work on those in the weeks to come.

peace out!
