Lure of the new gear?

[Stipsi]

A question maybe someone could answer:
Is there a mixer where you can record directly on an usb pendrive?
I'm searching for recording while I'm playing live, without bringing any other equipment.
Thanks in advance

I meant exactly this one. What do you mean exactly when you write "hardware underpowered"? Does it show regular problems, work bad, or what happens exactly?

I know that there are mixers that can record directly into USB or also SD cards. Mackie and Presonus have some, probably some others as well.

Thank you.
I will check!

Max sample lenght is pretty short, resolution of the grains is a bit underwhelming and it would stutter if you had too much stuff going on. The UI is great, it worked great but Rapsberry PI just isn't enough to run a granular sampler. I would look at something else if I were you, like their newer model. It's naturally more expensive but looks to have fixed the issues the original had.

Has anyone else reached gear fatigue? I haven't brought anything new in years.

I think I kind of have. My bass rig has been the same for years, excluding buying a new utility pedal if need arises for new songs. It's all the same, really and specialist boutique pedals and synths usually just automate experimental workflows in a way that makes them less versatile, like Soma gear for example. Or those noise synths that are only capable of generic noise sounds.

I'm still interested in gear and browse used gear for sale almost daily, but I rarely feel the urge to buy anything, much less actually do make a purchase.

I do have plenty of pedals and still get excited to try new things. Usually new gear brings the level of enthusiasm up for a while. If the gear sounds great/interesting to my ears it will excite me whenever I include it in my signal chain. I am not getting that much new gear anymore (I can achieve a lot with what I have if I just keep practicing, trying different combinations, and just using my imagination) and I am slowly learning that a new fuzz is not gonna sound much different from the fuzz pedals I already have. But then again the last pedal I bought was a fuzz :)
I have kept almost everything I have bought. I feel like if a pedal does not sound good then I am using it wrong or I should use it with a different sound source. Maybe one day I will realize it might be that a certain pedal just is not for me and I should pass it on. Looking forward to that day.
